    Took our son here on a Tuesday night. Made reservations same day, no problem. Ordered edamame, shishito peppers, brussels sprouts. Then three special rolls: Fishtown, Broad Street and King Ghidora. Cocktails ordered: Lycheetini, Winston's Heat and a Shisho Picante. Food and drinks were all delicious and beautiful. Waiter was attentive and prompt. Only negative—table was sticky. Otherwise I can't wait to return.

    Food was amazing. My menu was personally a little dirty and I thought the music playlist was a little interesting.
