    This place was so weird. Food was ok. Wait staff was not. There was only two other tables but the place must echo or something because it was so loud we were screaming at each other... weird...

    Great spot for a girls night out or a date. We went for a birthday celebration meal before dancing. The sushi was fresh and creatively plated, the chicken wings were crispy, fried deliciousness and they made summer rolls to order. A MUST TRY are the French fries! They had two very delicious types of sauce drizzled over them and peanuts. Drinks were great as well! They have a delicious version of a Moscow mule. Service was great, we sat at the outdoor bar. The bartender Winston was very attentive. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    The fries and banh mi were delicious but the sushi wasn't very fresh. Also we sat on the patio and the service was a bit slow.

    Was not as expected. Occasion was a girls night out and celebrating a birthday - but felt quite boring. Very big space and not many tables. Was not checked in or asked, so did not recieve opentable points. OpenTable said there were no reservations for more than 4 people at time desired and when we arrived the place looked pretty empty and not many came in thereafter. Food was good but ambiance very poor. Drinks were okay - could gave been better.

    I realize this is a new place. The music was playing much louder then needed. Who may have been a manager or supervisor came outside to greet someone he knew, being extremely loud next to our table. He had no regard for customer service. The soup was very oily with whatever was used in the broth and didn't come with a soup spoon. It felt more like a lower class bar with a renovated modern upbeat look. The port was bland and it felt like there was pickled everything. The sushi was not bad but that's about it. Outdoors the traffic is terrible. If you're not there to just sit at the bar it is pointless so sit at a table. Side note. The railing paint was still wet and I left with paint on my arm.
