I made a quick reservation after seeing a broadway show. The ambiance when you first walk in was inviting . The food was EXCELLENT! The service was great. I had the grill-charred oysters, main course was the Shrimp Etoufee' (big portion) with a delicious espresso martini. I would have given a full 5 stars but the desert was a little disappointing. I did not like the taste of the chocolate cake. The last time I had food this good was in New Orleans! I cannot wait to ho back

It was great! The drinks are to die for and it’s very much similar to real Japanese cuisine! I was a little apprehensive when I saw the circus signs but once the food came out the signs felt like a little tinge of personality :) really really enjoyed my experience, would recommend if you want a chill place to get some food with friends or a partner!

I brought my neice for her 8th Birthday and it was a super special experience! Really made me feel like I got to show her a tiny piece of Tokyo. Obviously it is a themed restaurant so that is what you are there for. The food is ok but also plated so fun and creative that it made every dish that came out something to look forward to. The server was above and beyond in her hospitality and her costume was amazing! Highly recommend for a special occasion.
