    we decided last minute to go eat here. We made the absolute best decision. The service was excellent. Everyone was so so nice. Our cook was so much fun and the food was delicious! We met some great friends from Switzerland. Our whole group was so much fun ! And our server made it even better! The manager Ed came and checked on us after dinner and made sure everything was great! What a wonderful night with such great food . Highly recommend this Japanese restaurant!!!

    私たちは2人でリブアイとシーフードのコースにしましたが、やはり量が多く、1/3以上残してしまいました。 日本に戻る前の日だったのでドギーバッグしても食べる時もなく・・・ 日本人向けのミニのコースなどあればいいかと思いました。 ガーリックライスも相当大きなサイズでこちらもミニがあれば・・・ 2人で1つのコースをシェアするとプラス20$以下もできていましたので次回利用する際にはそちらを頼むかも?です。

    As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile by the host. It was only a short wait until we were seated and our server Ashlie was the goat. She was super kind, helpful and knew literally everything and answered every single question with ease. Our cook Jonah was the best. All of our food was cooked to literal perfection👌.

    Wait staff and chef were great. Very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. We had the steak and scallops. I just wish all the food would have been served together off the grill instead of one item at a time.
