    What a breath of fresh air! We went for a birthday celebration. The staff immediately kicked it off by honoring our celebrant with a glass of cava. The service and exceptional experience continued from there. On service, our server was the best we've had in a decade at least. She kept an eye on us, stopped by when needed and never left us looking for her. She also joined our celebration, making it extra special. On food, everything was beautifully presented, high quality, well prepared and fairly priced. Drinks were absolutely delicious. And the environment was fun and energetic without being overpowering. Finally an experience the way is supposed to be. Thank you!!!!

    Incredible sushi and service! The appetizers were cooked beautifully, the sake was the best I've had, and the sushi rolls are enormous and packed full of good things. They even have a vegetarian roll which is delicious. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is as well. Our server was highly attentive and gave excellent sake recommendations. Highly recommend on all fronts.

    The bulgogi is excellent! Highly recommend it. The portion sizes are on the small side but more than enough for one person.
