A truly amazing dining experience. The food was fantastic, every dish was cooked perfectly. The yakitori were the best I’ve ever eaten- so tender and flavourful. Sitting at the counter and watching the chef was so interesting. The wait staff were so friendly and gracious, and were very helpful with drink recommendations. I cannot wait to return and enjoy this wonderful restaurant again.

We came to celebrate my partners birthday for the second year in a row and we had such a great experience. We enjoyed ourselves even more than last year and I’m not sure how that was possible. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable! Our waitress was so kind and made great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. Despite there being birthday’s on almost every table around us the staff still made an effort to celebrate my partner as well and sung happy birthday even with just the two of us. We came away will full bellies and hearts. Thank you so much for making my partners birthday so special!!!
