    Outstanding food and great, friendly service. Hiroshi-San is a true genius. I love going back even though I’m coming from the West Island!

    The food was generally good. We especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, mapo tofu, ramen, and sashimi. However, the matcha tiramisu was too sweet and unappealing both visually and in taste. Service felt rushed. My wife and I were seated at the counter and were in and out in just over an hour. We would have appreciated a more leisurely pace since we were celebrating her birthday. Also, our server selected the tip amount before handing me the payment terminal, which I found offensive and inappropriate.

    Food was excellent - really fresh and pretty inventive. Great ambiance, lovely music, and the gentleman who served us/did everything else (it was only him and the chef!) was super nice.

    The food is phenomenal. Atmosphere is intimate yet casual/fun. Great music. Service is on the slow side but it’s just one waiter serving the whole restaurant. Received great sake recommendations & did not feel rushed at all (even with a line of customers waiting at the door).
