お料理は全ておいしかったです。シェフのパフォーマンスも素晴らしかった。ガーリックライスの量が多すぎて食べきれなかったが、テイクアウトさせてくれたので残さずにすみました。

娘の大学卒業祝いに使用しました。お祝いの歌を店員がみんなで歌ってくれて、とても嬉しかったです。良い思い出となりました。ところで、お祝いの歌は何だったか日本人には分かりませんでした😆歌の題名を知りたいです。どうも、アメリカではポピュラーみたいですが！

Great spot! Food was awesome, the show was just as good. Fairly priced too oddly. Definitely would recommend and will now be in the rotation

Waiting was longer than expected, even with the reservation. Sitting was about 30 to 45 minutes after our reservation time which made it extremely late for us other than that which did set the tone and limited or openness to a great dining experience. The food was wonderful. The staff was friendly.

Had an incredible time with delicious food and a fun experience. Recommend the Deep Sea lobster and Filet and the scallops were also a hit. Drinks were tasty too, great evening all around. The care and attention from the staff and managers shows through. Thanks for a great time! Will be back.

We had a wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Chef Kyle was fun and interacted with our table. Our servers were attentive. I shared the Matsu combo with my partner (lobster tail, steak and chicken) and we were stuffed! Thank you for a great experience

Not enough gluten free options. There is no te as on the dipping sauce and salad dressing can’t use tamari instead of soy sauce
