Came with m’y bestie for dinner. Thé drink was perfect. Our server was wonderful. I had sushi for starter and was the best sushi ever. For main we ordered short rib with udon pasta and the meat was very chewy. Thanks, to the manager who came in and fixed the problem as fast as he can. Definitely come back!!
