J'ai essayé leurs sushis spéciaux, mais je les ai trouvés trop gros & difficiles à manger. Le bao bun végé ne m'a pas convaincue, je ne l'ai pas terminé. Le cocktail était bon, mais un peu trop sucré à mon goût. Globalement, c'était correct sans être exceptionnel. Je serais ouverte à revenir pour essayer d'autres plats.
Udon not really Japanese udon, not chewy at all & almost feels like Shanghai noodles instead. Had high expectations for the carbonara udon but was disappointed. I wouldn't say it's an authentic Japanese restaurant. Service was a bit slow too. Won't come again.
2nd time back is as many weeks. David, our waiter was not only attentive & helpful with ordering, he also made great suggestions on menu items, & told us about their new midday brunch on Th,/ Fri/ Sat/ Sun which has grown exponentially. A must do, & recommended to reserve on Open-Table.com
I ordered 3 different vegan sushi plates, I enjoyed the buttery flavor of the avocado roll. The vegan tuna presentation looked amazing, but tasted like nothing. They got my fiance's order wrong but it was still fine. It was awkward that one of the servers hit on our friend with a'you're so beautiful' while she was trying to pay. I had a good time with my friends but wouldn't recommend this place.

I'm a little confused about my review.
I want to like the place, the vibes were good, it was busy, the staff was attentive, food came at a good speed. But the food wasn't that great???
Everything was just okay to mid at best. Nothing stood out. I was a little disappointed, maybe my expectations were too high due to instagram & tiktok influencers.
The drinks were also just okay. I've had better espresso martinis & amaretto sours elsewhere.
Très mauvais service nous étions un groupe. Jamais passé les boissons pour les gens arrivés un peu plus tard, pas de vérifications de si tout était bien, s'il ne manquait pas quelque chose. Pas de demande si on voulait un dessert, un café ou autre breuvage. Jai dû appeler par moi-même 4x la serveuse pour que mes amis pu moi-même soyons servis pour un breuvage ou autre chose. O initiative

Went for brunch with friends & it was a terrible experience. The place was almost empty, yet service was extremely slow. Coffee took forever & arrived cold, served one by one for no reason. Food was even worse, I ordered a Japanese omelet over French toast, & it was completely overwhelmed with mayo to the point of being inedible. On top of that, the bathroom was dirty & had no tissues. Would not recommend.
Nous avons réservé à ce restaurant comme nous avions lu sur'my weird vegan friend' que des options véganes y étaient offertes. À la lecture du menu, aucune option végane n'était disponible. Comme aucun employé n'est venu nous voir à notre table plus de 20 minutes après notre arrivée au restaurant, nous avons quitté sans pouvoir valider si des options véganes pouvaient être préparées.
The ube matcha tasted like watered down cold milk, & the sando was good but was missing texture & sauce. Overall everything felt dry & lacking any spices whatsoever, the bread just tasted like normal bread. The salad was just aragula with dressing. Furthermore they forgot all the toppings in the sando of one person at our table & one of the'salads' had no dressing. The service was overall too slow, but at least the waiter was friendly & polite.
My biggest disappointment was the matcha, ive had amazing matcha lattes from nearby local cafes & make my own matcha drinks at home with imported organic matcha powder. Of course i dont expect the same quality at restaurants, but i at least expect the drink to taste a bit like matcha & a bit like ube. This one tasted like neither & had no sweetness either. Literally felt like i had ice cubes with milk :/
I really hope the restaurant uses my comments to improve because i love the idea of their brunch menu, but not the execution. Our whole table was disappointed with the food, drinks & service.

Instagram vs reality… I'll start with the positive: the brunch items were genuinely delicious.
Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by extremely long wait times. We arrived at 11:00 a.m. when the restaurant was only about half full. It took 35 minutes just to receive our drinks (matcha & ube coffee), & our main dishes didn't arrive until 12:20, an hour & 20 minutes after we were seated.
Looking around, it was clear we weren't the only ones frustrated. Many tables seemed visibly disappointed, sitting there sipping water & waiting.
To make matters worse, our server never checked in on us, didn't ask how the food was, & didn't acknowledge the delay at all.
Great food, but the service & timing really need improvement.
The service was really bad...we waited 30 minutes to be seated despite having a reservation & another 45 min to get our food. The steak Sando had to be sent back cuz the steak was well done & the bread was black.
In terms of atmosphere, it's very loud & the light fixtures & giant plant in the front needs a dusting, badly.
The duck French toast was nice but that cheese sauce tasted like cheese whiz & after seeing the kitchen pull out their karaage from a bag I realized I'm overpaying.
If you want a place to post cute pics of your towering french toast & cute ube matchas for your Instagram, go ahead. But if you're looking for good quality food & service, I'd go somewhere else.
Le nouveau brunch nous offre un menu exquis. J'ai adoré l'explosion de saveurs de mon'french toast original avec boule de crème glacée à la vanille' & de mon ube café. 10 étoiles sur 5.😍
We had reservations for 1:30 pm. Brunch should have a table turnover of 45-60 mins. We waited 30 mins for someone to take our drink order & over 1 hour to receive our food. The service was very inattentive & cold. I couldn't enjoy the food because of the service.
Not a fan of the overcooked steak in my sandwich that I was told by the manager is'medium' & the burnt bread. At least they removed it from the table & bill.
The duck confit French toast was nice but I would tell them to make a home made cheese sauce rather than cheese whiz.
The karaag comes from a store bought bag. I would avoid.
