The food was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent with great service and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Price the food before you go so you are not surprised by the bill. The quality of the food was worth the money for us. But it will be a dinner to save for.

Great experience as usual. Service impeccable and food excellent. Only small gripe is the noise level. It’s very loud in the restaurant which could do with some sound dampening panels

We had to wait for a bit because it was just the two of us, but it was SO worth the wait. The food O M G! It was SO good! Best ribeye steak I've EVER had! These tepanyaki chefs know what they're doing! And the portion sizes are HUGE. Everyone I saw leaving, left with a take away box. It was a bit expensive but we've decided THAT this place was going to be our #1 pick for special occasion dining.

Chef Fuji-San and his wife take you on a magical tour of Japan with seasonal fish, delicious chawanmushi and beautifully curated appetizers. As a gluten free diner, the restaurant reached out to me ahead of time to try and accommodate my allergy and also made a special chawanmushi so that I could truly enjoy the experience. This is a special dining experience and special chef family.
