    Overall a good experience - I think for dinner though it’s a bit overhyped. Food is decent, but really expensive for what you get.

    Excellent and amazing sushis as always. They put the Philadelphia one which is the BEST. also they put my sake bottle in the fridge just as i asked (if you drink it cold it as different flavors just like wine). The music was just loud enough for people wanting it but still quiet enough for people wanting an intimate ambiance. They refilled the sushi platters before they went empty. Amazing expérience.
