    Thank you for making my birthday a special one! I had a group of 8 booked for a birthday party. I requested the private room in back and they were able to accommodate right at the reservation time. Everyone was happy with the food and loved the experience. Very kind of them to also bring a dessert on the house for my birthday. Overall a great night and definitely recommend for your special occasions

    Nicely redone - this was my first visit since the recent remodel. Enjoy the rounded smaller booths. Service passable. Food - got the chicken and veggie stir fry. Overly sauced so saturated rice. Slightly overcooked as well. Wouldn’t order again. Maybe better off with sushi? ordered hot herbal tea, “ok” and no choice and no sweetener, lemon, honey, etc. Nor was I even asked about type of tea or options?

    We had an excellent chef at our table who was quite experienced. The food was very well prepared. The tables in the back room don’t have the best air circulation, and so it is better to sit in one of the larger rooms. Good air circulation/venting is probably compromised by the fact that it is in the MOA.

    We felt taken care of, the service was attentive and very friendly. When a mistake was made, the waiter addressed it right away. The atmosphere was vibrant on a downtown Friday night. We'd asked for a booth in a somewhat quieter area and got exactly what we wanted. Our family had a wonderful night out.
