    It’s a great place to meet before a Fenway game. The focus is good and while of a Japanese taste, there are many items that Americans with less adventurous palettes would like. I loved their wagyu burger. The rest of my crowd had Sushi or ramen. We met, ate well and tried some some sake. It was perfect, and a short walk to Fenway Park.

    The restaurant definitely has a hip vibe and a good menu. The service left a lot to be desired. The waiter seemed pretty disinterested and checked out. One of our guests ordered "green tea" and was delivered cold bottled green tea. When asked if they had hot tea, we were told no. Japanese restaurant without tea? One of our other guests ordered a salad with grilled chicken and the plate arrived with breaded fried chicken (same as what was in a Katsu dish). When asked the waiter insisted it was grilled. We also ordered Aperol Spritz drinks and they didn't seem they were made correctly as it was noticeable they were absent of champagne/prosecco or what was used was flat. All the food was exceedingly salty. All of us were thirsty shortly after leaving. Ironically, we received a second waiter midway through the meal and never saw the original waiter again. As this was a Mother's day lunch, it was a bit disappointing especially with a $220 before tip price tag for lunch for 5 people.

    Got overcharged by the waiter. When I pointed it out, he admitted it but said there was nothing he could do to fix it.
