This is hands down the best experience in Japanese cuisine . We booked a table for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and from start to finish the service was outstanding, we were welcomed and accommodated by the lovely staff who looked after us the entire time . The menu is amazing with so many unique dishes , the cocktails were also very interesting and my boyfriend enjoyed them a lot! The ambiance and decor is very nice , kind of made me feel we were at a private dinning event , which made our evening even more special. We will definitely be going back ! Thank you for having us , Luana
