Nanzan Giro Giro

“The food was pretty good in general. I think the $88 set menu was good enough; the portion is able to fill you well. The more expansive set menu gives you 2 more courses, and those two were actually not impressive at all. I would recommend the lower-tier menu.”

“Kaiseki 5 six course set menu, very delicately handcrafted by the Chef who has been serving this restaurant for 15 years; each course is unique, artistically presented, with balanced flavors Service 5 friendly, attentive Ambience 5 spacious, clean, minimalistic”

“It is always a treat to come here to dine and enjoy the beautiful presentation with the Nanzan pottery. We enjoyed every dish with delicate flavor and careful preparations. The waiter and waitress were friendly as well as the main chef. Parking is rather limited on the street.”

“We picked the 6 course meal with one add on each. Every dish was so well executed and every bite was a flavor bomb. I see some of the other reviews say the portions are small but it didn’t feel that way for us; we were stuffed by the end of the meal. Each dish had a main protein and they were all premium ingredients (eg black cod, Hokkaido scallops, lobster, snapper). If I had one critique it would be the open kitchen - while it was interesting to watch the staff work, it did seem a bit chaotic at times. Some of the staffs seemed to be in training and that took away from the experience a little bit. Overall we were vert satisfied though.”

“Very disappointing experience. I’ve eaten at many Japanese restaurants, and it’s rare to find one at this price point that is this bland and forgettable. The food simply did not justify the cost. More concerning, we informed the restaurant in advance that my wife is pregnant, yet we were still served food containing alcohol. That should never have happened. I also paid extra for the premium course, only to find that the upgraded dessert was the same dessert being given to another table for free. On top of that, we mentioned in advance that we were celebrating our anniversary, but there was no acknowledgment or special gesture at all. Ultimately, the biggest problem is the food. For such a high price, the quality and flavors were extremely underwhelming. The only redeeming part of the experience was the tableware and presentation. I would not return.”
