    Very good omakase experience. The chef was very nice and communicative about what he was serving. Patient with our desire to take videos and pictures. Food was very fresh and larger portions than other places. The wagyu beef was worth the added price. The omakase was in the back away from the general restaurant which seems to be filled up as well.

    Went there with some family members…Our waiter Angel was the BEST! Fun, friendly, smart and efficient! We had shrimp cocktail that was delicious! Caesar salad, just ok. Porterhouse for two was AMAZING. And the corn brulet was outrageous! The sweet potato fries were tasteless… the owner or manager came over and we mentioned that- he said they were new and tasted it and agreed … but oddly didn’t take that off the bill. Just a suggestion for them for next time … I would definitely return though!

    We went for the prefix Thanksgiving dinner. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. I love the restaurant. The downside was that it wasn't clear to me that it was buffet style until I got to the restaurant. The buffet area was small and hard to maneuver through with the heavy crowd. The other issue was the food wasn't hot, it was luke warm at best... potatoes cold. The taste and quality of the food was excellent. I would only do Thanksgiving there again if it was a prefixed menu and I was served at the table. With all of this said, every other time I go to this restaurant it's always excellent
