  • "Went with a large group and was seated downstairs (hot, stuffy, loud and very dark)."
  • "On a Wednesday night it was super busy. If it were slower, I think the atmosphere would have been better but it was so crowded and loud we could hardly hear each other speak."
  • "A little too crowded in the main seating area for my liking and the front bar stools (facing the street) should probably have some lighting."
  • "It's dark enough that you may need to have your cellphone flashlight to be able to read."
  • "Gave 3 stars for the atmosphere only because the whole place got colder that I had to put on my jacket while having dessert."

  • "We had a reservation and still waited 20 minutes for our table."
  • "They weren't trying to be accommodating at all!"
  • "Service a little lacking at the bar."

  • "The fried dumplings were not like gyozas, there were deep fat fried and was so heavy."
  • "The bang bang broccoli was also very fried and smothered in overly sweet sauce."
  • "Do not try chilli garlic tofu if you do not like bland food."

Value

Pros:

  • "The true highlight for me was the Unagi Eggplant, $6 for 2 is an amazing price too."
  • "The amount of food provided is honestly pretty solid for a higher-end small plates restaurant."
  • "We also expected the final bill to be more expensive, but it wasn’t too bad: ~$22 per person."

  • "The cocktails were good."
  • "The japanese whiskey drink was also great."
  • "To top it off, the cocktails were quite delicious."

Cons:

  • "I personally feel that it is overpriced where the cost does not compliment the tastefulness of the food."
  • "Overall, we spent $130 for 2 people, with 5 dishes of tiny portions. Super not worth and would not come back again."
  • "Decent enough place. Overpriced for the menu and the food."
  • "It is a bit pricy so except to spend a good amount if you want to try more than 3 items."
  • "I will say I was surprised how small the portion sizes were, especially for the price."
  • "I just wish they gave more of a heads up about little fees like additional for sparkling or sides that aren’t necessarily “sides” but a separate appetizer."
  • "The truffle fried rice was too oily but still good(my least favorite tho)."
