“Came across this place and decided to try it. They serve contemporary Japanese food, and it was pretty good. The environment is great, a modern/fine dining decoration. I especially enjoy their cold noodles, it is chewy and flavorful. The pace is also great, and it took me ~1.5 hr to finish the full course, which you get to try a variety of iconic Japanese cuisines. The price is high, but it is worthwhile.”

“We genuinely enjoy coming here for both the food and the bartender. Our first visit didn’t go well, but we were invited back, which we appreciated. The second visit was a big improvement—the food was really good and showed a lot more care and consideration. By the third visit, we found ourselves coming back specifically because of the bartender and the consistency of the food. Overall, the dishes feel thoughtful and well-executed, and the drinks were solid and enjoyable. It’s nice to see a place take feedback seriously and continue to improve, and we’re glad we gave it another chance.”

“Very nice experience with every dish having awesome flavors. Quite expensive for the amount of food that you recieve though. Do expect to leave "feeling full". Parking is also an issue, so plan on making a reservation and arrive early. Because of the price point, I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions and not a weekly destination.”

“Really nice little outdoor lunch spot. When we went in January around noon discovered the indoor restaurant isn’t open for seatings but they have a cute little outdoor area that was quite warm and nice. The menu for lunch was limited but good. The ramen was good. We didn’t get our correct order but the staff was very nice about replacing it. I ended up just accepting the wrong thing and enjoying it! And they gave a free app as a thanks.”

“We came here on a double date after hearing consistently great things. The food itself was good and that is the only reason this review is one star. Unfortunately, the service was genuinely awful and completely overshadowed the experience. From the start, we felt like an inconvenience. It took over 30 minutes for anyone to come take our order. When a server finally did, their attitude was dismissive and strange. There was even a comment made that implied surprise that we wanted to order food at all, which was uncomfortable and confusing in a restaurant of this caliber. Throughout the night, we were handled by three different servers, all of whom were rude, unaccommodating, and rarely checked on us. There was no warmth, no attentiveness, and no sense that we were welcome. When the food came out, we noticed that two items from our order never arrived. We asked if everything had come out, and we were told yes. We then clarified that we were certain two items were missing. At that point, the response was, "Do you still want them?" By then, we had finished eating and said no, since we were wrapping up our date. Later, while we were still sitting and talking, we decided we would take one of the missing items after all, the skirt steak. When it arrived, it was ice cold. It was obvious that the dish had been prepared earlier, charged to our bill, never delivered, and then served to us much later after sitting. While the item was eventually comped, serving cold food due to a service failure is unacceptable. What made this experience worse was the consistent attitude from the staff. Two female servers with dark brown/black hair and a male server with glasses were all noticeably curt and unpleasant. Every person at our table noticed it. It felt like we were unwanted, despite ordering generously and being polite throughout the night. This place felt dismissive and disorganized. Good food cannot compensate for service that makes guests feel uncomfortable and disregarded. We left a measly tip to signal our displeasure but I didn't think they deserved a tip at all. We wanted to love this place. Instead, we left disappointed and frustrated.”
