We hosted our office party at your restaurant yesterday, & the entire experience was absolutely amazing!
?What truly made the night so exceptional was your incredible staff. They were not only nice & funny but also wonderfully efficient, quick, & incredibly attentive. They kept the night running smoothly from start to finish.

?A huge shout-out to Mathieu & Sébastien! Bien que toute l'équipe ait été fantastique, j'ai eu le plaisir d'interagir spécifiquement avec eux. Ils ont dépassé toutes nos attentes, s'assurant que tout le monde était en sécurité, bien hydraté & pris en charge tout au long de la soirée. Leur dévouement a fait toute la différence!

?Thank you for an unforgettable & flawless event! 🩷

Oh, & by the way, the music was SO GOOD! It started perfectly with a mix of neo-soul, R&B, funk, & electro-pop, & as the night went on, it smoothly transitioned into some party bangers!

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was so tasty & im someone who's super picky so I was afraid that i might not like some of the food but i really wanted to try so i did & it was amazing, there are so many flavors in the food & their soya sauce is really great. The music is really fun & unique. My favorite was the onigiri tempura! I had never tasted anything like it before! I also like the chicken skin & potato truffle whip, i liked the fluffiness of the whip. I went with my family & they all loved the food, the sushi & the handrolls!

Honestly really pleasantly surprised how good this was! The interior design is beautiful & well thought of, especially the sound system is pretty amazing. You can hear the music but also have a conversation with your friends at the table.
The food was really good as well - special mention of the Gindara, which comes with side dishes & rice. I don't know what they do with the spinach but oh my god, I need the recipe!!
My mocktail was also delicious. All in all, definitely recommended & service was great as well.

It is beautiful inside & music is on point.

Service was a bit slow to start, but it picked up & significantly improved as the night went on.

Food is great. Standouts were the tuna handroll & onigiri. Those two were by far the best.
