    Food, drink, ambience, and our server Patrick, we're all excellent! Patrick recommended a Japanese plum whiskey and it was incredibly smooth and flavorful. Well definitely be back!

    The bakery staff were helpful, the hostess accommodated our group, and Amadeus was a courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable waiter. Our group of 8 had a blast trying all sorts of cocktails. Many loved the perfect martini. The Stache, Shinjuku, and Jungle Bird were great too. Food is a good value (actually shareable amongst a few people) and very tasty. We had the karaage and ceviche. Would definitely recommend!

    What a fun place. Brett, Erica, Sam, and Amadeus feature innovative cocktails that change periodically with a cool speakeasy vibe. Great atmosphere modeled after 1930's Japan. I'm not a sake drinker but they have an amazing collection in addition to the craft cocktail menu. Snacky food is available and Asa Bakery (attached) has some yummy pastries , entrees, and soft serve as well.

    Wow, wow, wow! Reserved for 5, showed up as 4 and was seated right away. Our late guest was allowed in as well, drinks are fun! Most people got 2 rounds. We ordered a bunch of food to split between the table. The fries are bomb! The Mediterranean harumaki are to die for. Service was fast and friendly, decor was on point. 5 of us, most got 2 drinks, food for the table. Totaling around 200 bucks. Would do it again and again!
