    A bit empty and quiet. No one there on a Saturday night. Service was friendly. Food was a bit slow considering there was no one there. But good! The Hawaiian spicy tuna roll was a favorite.

    I am from Chicago. The meal was one of the worst I have ever had. The tom kha soup had old dried out peas in it. The broth was disgustingly sweet and the chicken was boiled and dry. The gomae was in a sauce that had an awful sour taste. The fried tofu was cold very dry and hard like old bread. Really one of the worst meals I’ve had! It was a Friday at 4:30pm and only 3 tables were full 6 people at one table and 2 at the other 2. The one waitress working was slow and overwhelmed. I never right bad reviews like this. But this place is exceptionally bad!!

    I will probably not coming back. Food was average - appetizers were bad i.e. soft shell crab was soggy and too much breading, tuna tataki was overcooked. Service was scarce. Food was not overly pricey for the quality but it did not hit the spot. Another thing that ticked me off is that I booked 1,000 points reservation through OpenTable and only I was only awarded 100 points. Totally disappointed - unsure if it is the restaurant's error or it came from OpenTable themselves.

    Food was absolutely delicious. Beautiful space as well. I had the red curry, which had a perfect amount of heat. Also, the crab Rangoon was outstanding.

    Me and my girlfriend went here for our 3 year anniversary and it was amazing ! Clean and modern atmosphere. Huge menu and great happy hour menu we didn’t know that was going on when we arrived ! We got a $68 bottle of sake at half off because of their amazing happy hour! We ordered just one shrimp shumai appetizer which was delicious ! I order a sashimi platter and my girlfriend order the lard nar. Both delicious and fresh. The owner was super nice and friendly, and gave us a $15 gift card for our anniversary to come back ! Definitely recommend!

    Food was outstanding. I had the bipimbap. Just the right amount of spice and flavor. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Chicken satay was flavorful and moist. All items delicious. Waitress recommended delicious saki and was attentive but did not overdo. Overall just right.
