    Love the food and drinks, but the music was so loud that it was impossible to talk with the people in our party. Would love to return, but won't because of the deafening DJ

    Me and my friend went for dinner, after couple hours, both of our stomachs was hurting so much. I’m suspicious from rock shrimp tempura, it didn’t taste good or maybe the oil was used wasn’t very good quality, or it was someting else I have no idea. It was so pricey and sushi was okay nothing special. Drinks were just okay but I didn’t even get a buzz. I had way better sushi for more reasonable prices. It’s just overrated place where I would never go again.

    This place was a great overall experience for my friends and I. Food was amazing, atmosphere was electric, sake and drinks kept flowing. Stairs on the other hand were hazardous, my buddy fell down a whole flight of stairs after two bottles of sake. But he’ll be okay, definitely recommend, will come back!
