Wonderful food. We had the duck and it was truly amazing, both the taste and how it was served with a flambe at the table, then a course of the skin (which was wonderful) and then the duck meat. All served with paper-thin pancakes and multiple condiments. The four of us ate every bit. Our next favorite dish was the fish in a hot pot. It is served with dry ice in a saucer underneath that is covered with water at the table so it fogs up around the dish--very impressive. And it cools the dish just a touch so it is not too hot to eat. Both the texture and taste were divine. Also the vegetables were similarly great--crispy green beans and eggplant. And we appreciated the free parking. The service was a bit abrupt but not actually rude, just not gracious. We put up with it. We will be back next time we are in Vancouver, we are already looking forward to it..

Went out for dinner and tried a few dishes, overall solid experience. The food came out super fast and our server was so sweet, which made everything better. The Kanpachi Crudo was the standout for me. It was super fresh and well-balanced, and the sauce it was sitting in was honestly unreal. The orange, radish and olives gave it the perfect bite and crunch. Such a light, beautiful addition to the meal. The Lotus Chips came in second for me - crispy, lightly glazed, and lowkey addictive. They had that perfect sweet-spicy thing going on without being greasy. I could’ve easily eaten a whole bowl to myself. The Crying Tiger Steak was good, just not amazing. The flavor was there and it was cooked alright, but it didn’t wow me. The dipping sauce definitely made it amazing though. The Brussels Sprouts were probably my least favorite. Not bad, but a bit too saucy for my taste. Some of the pieces still had a good crisp, and the chickpeas were fun, but the sauce kind of overpowered everything.

Amazing experience! Love the experience with Chef Kazu, very friendly and cozy environment.
