Went for ladies night. Ladies eat free, we just have to pay for our drink. Me & my girls were so excited for this, expecting to pay a bill of about 22$ (which is the price of the drink) plus tip. We were even considering tipping over 20% because the whole thing was so cheap. But when the waitress came to us, she told us that if we came on a regular day our food would've actually cost us about 80 dollars & so we should tip her on that amount instead. We were so confused & didn't really understand how to respond to that situation & we just caved in because saying no was making us feel cheap. But we should've never had been made to feel that way. If our bill is 22$, we tip on that amount not on what the bill could've been. It is the restaurant's policy so I don't understand what made the waitress think this was okay. This basically doubled our bill & the waitress made a tip higher than what our bill was. Ridiculous. Will not be returning.

Our server Fred was excellent, everything she recommended was incredible. Fresh sashimi, electric vibe & good service. There are two services so at times the restaurant might empty out however it will fill up again & the energy will re-ignite. Cocktails are good & off sushi menu times are great. Highly recommend & keep up the great work.

I was highly impressed! Honestly, above my expectations. The service was amazing, & they even helped us find a table that perfectly suited our needs even though it was Friday evening.
The food was incredible. Literally everything we tried was delicious. My favorite were the wagyu maki topped with foie gras - absolutely unforgettable.
Beautiful & creative design, ambient lighting, good music, & a great location. I would definitely come back:)

Food was underwhelming, the music was excessively loud, & the service needs significant improvement. We had to ask multiple times for basic items like napkins & utensils, which was frustrating. Considering the high prices, the portion sizes & quality didn't match expectations. You can find much better food, atmosphere, & service at places like Juni or Parc. Would not recommend.

Overall, nice ambiance, friendly staff, & excellent service. Most of what we ordered was good, especially the Gyosa dumplings.

The chicken karaage was a miss. It lacked flavor & tasted like plain fried chicken coated in a glaze. It could use a serious upgrade or be reconsidered as it didn't match the quality of the rest of the menu.

I'd still recommend this place.
