    Food was amazing, we went back a week later. Service was much better at dinner time tho, even if the restaurant was much fuller. It was still a great meal and would definitely return

    When we checked in, it appeared as though the host was in training. A manager was letting him handle our questions then stepped in, appearing to be frustrated and got an attitude with us, which wasn’t appreciated. Once seated we ordered beverages and an appetizer and asked for a few forks. The server came back multiple times letting us know they were trying to locate forks in the restaurant. We received a few plates before a fork was actually brought to the table. This was an unnecessary delay in us enjoying our food. A restaurant should absolutely have forks on hand for guest who do not wish to use chopsticks. We also had to ask for my alcoholic beverage twice as it was not delivered. Staff was a little snarky with every encounter and the food was just okay. My family has been dining here for years but we may not return.
