    Went there for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was both our first time. We loved the ambiance and the food didn’t disappoint. The wagyu tacos 🌮 was sooooooo good. We’re still talking about it. Thanks to the waitress for her recommendation. We will definitely be back!!! It was a bit noisy though.

    Mentioned that it was my birthday and they made it a very great night with their warm hospitality. The 48 hours wagyu short ribs are the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life.

    The experience was very good, the setting, lighting and atmosphere was exquisite. I personally enjoyed the ribeye steak, the show me the rolls sushi, and the brother from another mother rolls. Our server Raay was very helpful and catered to all our needs. Raay made the experience 10x better!
