Krasi exceeded my expectations with its bold Greek flavors and incredible wine selection. The crispy chicken skin was a highlight, pairing perfectly with the htapiti. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and both the apaki and patates were flawlessly prepared. The wine menu is exceptional, offering an impressive variety of Greek and orange wines, making for a truly elevated dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone looking to explore Greek cuisine and wine at its finest. I’ll definitely be returning!

Too noisy1. With inappropriate booming base in recorded music. Not very Japanese! And definitely not pleasant! Tables too close together! Food was excellent! Our server was very attentive and helpful in making in selections. Inappropriate charge for “kitchen” added to bill.
