Once we got there, we waited for about 20 minutes just for the waiter to tell us that the stove/grill was not working and all we could order was their sushi. She said ‘I understand if we wanted to leave’, it was an anniversary dinner and we left without compensation for the sushi we ‘had’ to order. Yet a a group of people go an order of hot steak a half hour later. Was very disappointed.

We go here frequently for anniversaries and celebrations. The food is phenomenal, the service is not only quick but they will explain exactly what you’re about to eat. Highly recommend giving it a shot. However if you are on a budget and are hungry this is not the place to go as the menu is somewhat high priced.

The overall experience dining here was poor. We booked a special birthday celebration event, and although the staff made an effort to place candles and a happy birthday chocolate in the dessert, the food was mediocre (served hot dish cold, some bites bland and some bites extra salty, some items were extra greasy) and the service pace was odd (appetizer felt very rushed while the rest of the meal came slowly 20mins+ wait). The tasting menu did not feel spectacular, and the fish did not taste fresh. Would not come back.
