    Our party of seven sat in the bar area. We have many favorite rolls so with our group we got to enjoy many of them! Top favorites tho are the Crabby Joe and the Hawaiian. Drink of the night for most - Asian Pear martini - so good! Service as always, top notch! Thank you Kitaro!

    Firecracker sushi always a great choice. Brussel sprouts I feel like has changed, not as seasoned/tasty anymore. Server was ok, not attentive. Over good experience.

    Thank you for your feedback and the 4 stars! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Firecracker Sushi—it’s definitely a guest favorite. We're sorry to hear the brussels sprouts weren’t as flavorful as you remembered and as for the service, we strive to provide attentive care and apologize for falling short of this. We're glad you had an overall good experience, and we hope to see you again soon! 😊

    This restaurant can still make it. But it has to do better than what my wife and I experienced. The positives: great food menu, the food itself, the vibe (on the bar side, as far as we could see it). The negatives: currently too high price range for what is offered, service was measured (not friendly) and not impressive (forgot soy sauce and side salad), the host put us at the worst possible table (booth): where guests entered, where staff came out of or went into the kitchen, where pick-up food was prepared. As such we missed a good vibe (which we thought most of the other tables/booths did experience, whether in the bar area or at the window) and a romantic dinner was far away. Not sure if we'll return but if we do, we'll give it some time in the hope the management can figure it out.

    We sincerely apologize for the shortcomings in service and for seating you at a less desirable table. Your experience with the forgotten soy sauce and side salad, as well as the overall service, is not up to our standards. We understand how this impacted your evening, especially for a dinner that was meant to be more romantic. We’re sorry we missed the mark and hope that you can make a return visit to have the experience you deserve. Just a side note: please let us know if you would prefer a different table, we will do our best to accommodate you!
