    The food here taste good but was lacking. I ordered a miso soup and kamameshi. The soup had TWO TINY CUBES OF TOFU and TWO PIECES OF SEAWEED. It basically had nothing in it. I made the mistake of getting the Seafood and Salmon Roe Kamameshi, which looked delicious but I was disappointed in the lack of seafood. It was mainly a couple strands of imitation crab. I expected it to be a mix of shrimp, squid, and other assorted meats. In the end, it felt like I was just eating seasoned rice. Not worth the $52.50 subtotal. I wish I got the salmon or short rib kamameshi instead. I also asked for the spicy mayo in the dish to go on the side (as in I didn’t want spicy mayo), but the waitress ended up charging a whole $2.50 for it.

    We had a nice dinner with our toddler daughter. The food was high quality and the spring rolls remain a cravable item. There is a newly styled physical menu introduced recently which is a great improvement to their past menus. The service had been hit or miss the last few times we went, but our table service tonight by Kai was great. He was engaged and responsive.

    We were never told the $75 was a deposit and we were supposed to spend a minimum of $225 for three person. We spend just over $100 and had to pay an extra $75, they kept the deposit. The waiter said differently than the lady at the desk. This is our first and last visit to that restaurant. I have been to several Japanese restaurants in London, UK, always good experience. Perhaps this is a US tradition to oblige you spend a minimum of $75 per person, and letting you know about that at the exit when you are paying.

    - Food was very good. - Service was great, friendly and attentive staff - Ambiance a bit lacking, missing the authentic feel of a Japanese restaurant.
