The food was luxurious without the luxurious price tag. The ambience was ultra cozy and it was special to see how calm and passionate the chef was while he cooked. The whole place appeared to be managed by 2 people (chef, waiter) so it didn't feel industrial and felt like how a restaurant should feel.

The food was generally good. We especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, mapo tofu, ramen, and sashimi. However, the matcha tiramisu was too sweet and unappealing both visually and in taste. Service felt rushed. My wife and I were seated at the counter and were in and out in just over an hour. We would have appreciated a more leisurely pace since we were celebrating her birthday. Also, our server selected the tip amount before handing me the payment terminal, which I found offensive and inappropriate.
