    Food, service, ambiance are wonderful! Standouts Unagi Strawberry (exquisite), Tropical Salmon and Yuzu Granita. This was our second visit and I can’t wait to return.

    While the staff tried their best to serve everyone the best they could, the place was just small over all and the staff were kind of overwhelmed. The lady who was helping us kept forgetting what drink we wanted and that we had already ordered something, it takes a while to get their attention and you can say that they are in a rush getting your order. We arrived earlier that our reserved time, yet we still had to wait for 15mins to be seated… When we were seated, my husband was almost elbow to elbow with another guest which honestly made the experience a little uncomfortable.. The serving was okay, can be considered fair for its presentation and size. It was a good one and done but there are better Japanese places where you could have a better experience.
