Family Reunion

It was delicious! We had a reservation, so we got a table right away. We had 5 people and the food was out pretty quick! Their edamame, Japanese milkbread, fries, and the chocolate layered cake was amazing!!!! Their artichoke dip, baked potato, and bruschetta was super good also!!! There is also an impossible burger fyi, it’s not on the physical menu but if you ask for it, they’ll get it! So many amazing vegetarian options!!! They also have delicious mocktails and my grandpa loves their beer lol. Their sushi is SOOOO good!!! We got like 5 different kinds and they were all good. Honestly whatever you order here, you can’t go wrong! It’s all delicious! Also the staff were very kind, they were very attentive to all our needs! My and my family always come here before events, (it’s conveniently placed by the Orpheum!) overall, I highly recommend, it’s pretty fancy but not too expensive. They even give you hit towels to wash your hands with before eating lol

Anniversary Celebration

Absolutely LOVED this place. My fiancé and I went out to celebrate our anniversary, the food was amazing, when we asked if we could get sat in a more private/quiet section they were happy to accommodate. We were also hoping to have “happy anniversary” written in chocolate with our dessert, but our server informed us the kitchen couldn’t do that. When he came back with dessert, there was a speaker in our cake, it lit up the entire area we were in, it was gorgeous. I could not have had a better experience!!! A huge thank you to our server Jonathan for making the night memorable.
