INCREDIBLE dining experience. What does good portions were perfection, plated beautifully, & the flavor profiles were just right. Nothing to overpowering. The sauces. Weren't too salty or strong or intense while still providing excellent support for the dishes. We had the tasting menu for Two & I highly recommend recommended. I have multiple allergies & they were incredibly accommodating making sure to provide suitable options. Danielle was our server & she knocked it out of the park.

We had the $70 tasting menu. Were told it ws mostly fish & started that way. The salmon,tuna & scallops were so good. Second course included duck breast slices on a sizzling plate so you had to be fast to get them off plate not to overcook. Third course was octopus in a breaded ball & skewers of beef, octopus & pork belly all grilled. The beef was very good. Pork belly was mostly fat normal I guess but not to our fancy. To improve I would suggest including some vegetables or rice to accompany the meat.

Hm un peu déçu de mon expérience , le service était bon notre serveur était gentil mais le temps d'attente pour recevoir nos plats était vraiment long .. on a commander à 9h15 à peu près & la majorité de notre nourriture est arriver vers 10h30… que sa soit même pour l'alcool ça la pris au minimum 30 min recevoir mon premier verre .. avoir reçu la majorité de nos plats 1h après bin on avait déjà plus faim .. la facture était quand même haute pour des plats qui n'était pas wow.

I went here with my gf on our anniversary trip for a nice lunch & the food was spectacular. Highly recommend the'POKURIBU' its pork ribs & a lot of portion for an appetizer!

Anand was also super friendly, helpful & amazing to serve us. Took the time to explain portion sizes & what is recommended when I asked.

Do come here for lunch or dinner the vibe is nice might be busy at weekends or dinner time! But good vibes, music & lighting!

La nourriture est excellente, les portions sont généreuses, tout est préparé avec soin, tout est goûteux.
Le service était ordinaire. Le grand classique, nous avions terminé de manger depuis une bonne demi-heure & notre serveuse était MIA. Nous avons mis notre meanteau & attendu un bon 10 minutes supplémentaire avant qu'elle réapparaisse. Les autres employés vaquaient à leurs occupations comme si nous n'étions pas là. Dommage parce que l'expérience avait été parfaite jusqu'à ce que la serveuse disparaisse.

Hands down the worst food I've ever eaten at a restaurant. The ramen noodles were the mushiest noodles I have ever eaten & the mushrooms were soaked in some vinaigrette that was cold in hot soup. Took one bite & couldn't believe they would serve this.
