Overall really good experience. Servers were attentive and did not need to wait long for grill changes. Food quality was top notch. Pork jowl with yuzu is a must try 👌. Lychee sorbet ice cream is also 🔥

The services is great and very fast, the food is delicious and very high quality. I recommend trying the pre fixed menus if you have never been there because at has a little of everything. Parking is a little difficult, but there is plenty around the area and at only a 5 min walk.
