Overall excellent experience… got one of the set menus and a course was missed and brought out after we got deserts and about to leave. Was still happy with everything and given it was Valentine’s Day little things like this can happen

It was honestly a very good overall experience, however I did feel we got the worst seats at yakitori counter. And the service took longer to get to us as well on a Monday night. But the whole venue and food was outstanding, very cool atmosphere.

Sophisticated, exquisite Japanese food. Great inventiveness and visual pleasure. It’s a knock your socks off experience, especially for those who only eat sushi and sashimi. Great value for the money. I took friends there who were blown away.
