    Thank you so much to all the staff that took a great care of us from the employee at the front desk to our server. It was a birthday dinner and the table was set up with a birthday framed poster and a bouquet of flower. We definitely had a great time and great food. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great dinner with great atmosphere.

    I was a little reluctant and thought this place was all hype, but everything was delicious from the Rock Shrimp to the Shrimp Tempura rolls to the Wagyu; everything was top-notch. Wife said they had the best Brussels sprouts she's ever had. The only complaint was that we were there for our anniversary, and they still charged us for dessert, which never happens when we go out to celebrate.
