    Incredible food. Ambiance was a little sterile/chilly but would come back for the food.

    We loved our dinner! Everything was excellent. Highly recommend: the crispy rice cakes, beef filet, tropical salmon, and the yuzu sake. My husband said his spicy tuna temaki was the best he's ever eaten and the lobster temaki was equally delicious. High points for service and in general, a team of warm, friendly people.

    The GM (Ray?), hostess, and servers were super nice! They checked up on us but just enough times to let us enjoy the food and restaurant. I would say our favorite was the beef fillet, grilled baby corn, furikake fries, & pop rockin blue crab hand roll. You also can’t go wrong with salmon, yellowtail, or strawberry unagi hand roll. Lastly I enjoyed their House Sake. Enjoy!
