    Nothing but excellent experience. Both staff who attended our table were very friendly and polite. Food came in a timely manner. We were there for a celebration and we ordered: sashimi, a few entrees, large salmon, pork katsu, wagyu beef, a poke bowl and omurice. All were good, delicious, authentic Japanese food. 😋
