If you are looking for fantastic fresh food, is the restaurant for you?

Went around 2hrs before closing time and we were immediately seated. I hear you usually have to wait. Had two servers who were decent esp the female server . Ordered via a tablet. It makes ordering easier. Other than the photos shared in this review, we also had tamago yaki, which was the only dish I didn't like too firm and salty for me , and Sapporo beer. Food there is good overall, but quite overpriced. The sushi was actually decent, which is harder to find around here. They also give free rice refills, but the portion sizes are on the smaller side so idk if anyone would need additional rice. The rice isn't bad for the area as it's been hard to find good quality Japanese food in the area. But unmemorable. Those 2 sushi rolls in the photos are just under 5 bucks each, and despite being delicious, they can be eaten in one easy mouthful. That's a decent guage for the overall pricing for everything. We paid close to 100 usd for what we ordered !!! , but I had a nice time with good company so I may go back whilst I'm holidaying in the area. Definitely not a place I'd go more than twice on my trip though due to the price. Beer came in a pretty and chilled glass. The tables and chairs were clean. They had subtle music reminded me of new age jazz that wasn't blaring/obnoxious/pop. The upscale atmosphere seems just right to grab a beer and some appetisers. On the downside, they use poor quality disposable wooden chopsticks that splinter everywhere. Their bowls are cheap and do not match the nice food they serve. But at the end of the day, I took a star off because the prices are steep and that's really all.

This is a great place: quiet, clean, friendly service. It?s very comfortable using tablet to make an order. Everything is delicious

Really enjoyed the experience here, they did really well with the setup, ordering through a tablet, the food was tasty and satisfying along with fun and beautiful to look at.

Low key restaurant. Be prepared to order from an electronic pad device. They do check up on you and refill your water. I?m not sure about the tea. No tip restaurant. I guess they either pay their employees well or it?s worked into its prices.
