Amazing place to discover! It looks like a nothing place from the outside but once you get it, it's something else! Cute atmosphere, food is amazing & beautifully presented. Staff is super nice. A bit on the pricey side but it's still worth discovering.

I would advise to check your take out food before you leave the restaurant... the foie gras that we had on our roll were SO tiny compared to what we would get at the restaurant, mind you this is one of my favorite restaurants ever, it seems like the quality is decreasing unfortunately. I attached both pictures to compare, this roll was $25!!!

The taste is great,& it makes me feel very appetizing at first glance. The ingredients & dishes are also very fresh,& taste is moderately salty,& the heat is just right. I recommend the steamed egg with foie gras,it is so delicious! I can't stop eating the eel rice. Five-star recommendation!

The food was great & the price was decent given what you order. It was busy so it took a while for the waiter to get to us. It also took a while to get our food.

Se faire dire deux secondes après notre arrivée qu'on doit quitter dans 1h30, ça casse un peu l'ambiance... La nourriture était moyenne

Great food quality, even better for the price of it all! The sashimi taste so great, & even better with the red fish eggs around it. Also a perfect place for scallop lovers. The atmosphere & decor of the restaurant really adds a lot to the experience too. There were so many things on the menu that looked so delectable that I will definitely be coming back! We had a soba & scallop noodles, rainbow pokebol, gyu miso soup & soba noodles & a barachirashi bowl. All recommended!
