This was such an amazing experience! The service team was absolutely amazing. After every course, someone will replace your utensils. The price point is definitely up there but I think the experience is worth it. The first 2 courses blew my mind. I’m not new to omakase experience but never had Japanese bbq coursed out! For sure bringing something new and unique to Bellevue.

What a perfect night out with friends!! My server, Reuben was warm, friendly, and cheerful. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ordered house baked bread with whipped butter and sea salt. Bread was soft and fluffy light. Buttered mushrooms was so good!! Spicy Habanero Butter Shrimp was flavorful and not spicy at all. The grilled king salmons and rib eye steak dishes were perfectly seasoned. We were so full but had to finish off with the flourless chocolate cake and my favorite, the bananas foster, a spectacular cooking show of a flambé banana liqueur, Cruzan “151” rum, and cinnamon served on vanilla ice cream. Yum!!! Overall, it was a great spot to celebrate something special and I cannot wait to the next visit.
