    Great service, great recommendations. Food was on point and will definitely come back. We went at lunchtime, so it was quiet and not busy, overall great experience.

    Food was great, excellent quality. Portions were a bit too small for some items for the prices. Service was decent, nice enough guy but he left us on an island for about 30 minutes at one point as we waiting for our last food item. Seemed like he had too many tables to manage at one time but it would have been nice to get an update on our dish. We started to think he forgot we ordered it. It was only two pieces of nigiri.
