    An amazing experience. Paris was a great waiter, knew everything about the menu. The food was crazy good our favorite was risotto, dumplings, Soto 2.0 and Honey truffle rolls. Drinks were great and they even made mocktails for the teenagers. Atmosphere was great, parking was easy. Will be a new regular there for the future!

    Great food - we just got back from Japan and needed a little reminder. The sushi is great - maybe a little on the thin side but great. Miso soup was delish. And loved the rolls
