Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

    Charging someone for a can of Diet Coke $7.50 is outrageous. The food took a long time to come out of the kitchen and the restaurant was empty.

    The most incredible dishes - the best seaweed salad, veggie fried rice and the soft-shell crab roll was outstanding! Incredible flavor, freshness and even better than anything that I have had while traveling across Japan. A true gem!!!

    We got the sushi sampler, wagyu strip, crispy tuna, handroll, and okinawa tres leches. Everything was amazing. I loved the view and ambiance of the rooftop. Service was amazing as well.
