   Always a wonderful place to have a meal. Sushi is fantastic and though the menu has changed they still are able to serve rolls from the old menu. The drunken noodles are tasty, though a bit salty for my taste, so you can ask them to make it with less sauce. The short rib is always well cooked. Drinks are well made and some of the recommendations do stand out. Last time we were there. Jon, our server, was helpful and friendly.

   We had great service & the food we ordered was all fantastic. We tried a bunch of stuff on the Happy Hour menu & were very pleased with everything. We were already full by the time our entrees came. That was fine since we just had a few bites, then got to take them home for dinner the next night! Looking forward to coming back soon!

   While my wife and I appreciated the ambiance of the restaurant and the cordiality of our server, we found the quality of the food to be profoundly disappointing. The spring rolls were excessively oily, and the General Tso's Chicken lacked both crunch and flavor. Furthermore, we were disheartened by the attempt to serve us substandard broccoli in place of the broccolini, without any inquiry as to whether we would accept such a substitution. Lastly, the bok choy was overcooked, contained sediment, and was inexplicably presented in a bun basket. Overall, it was a regrettable dining experience. We shall not be returning to this inadequately managed establishment. Wishing you the best in the future.

We take pride in our food quality, and we regret that our Spring Rolls and General Tso's Chicken fell short. Your feedback about the broccoli and the bok choy has been noted and will be shared with our team for review. We're always looking to improve and your comments will help us do just that. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

   Service was slow and reason given was that our waiter had a large party. It became obvious that was his priority. Food arrived lukewarm and took over 25 minutes to arrive. With all the delays, we received our main meal 55 minutes after being seated. Very noisy, but the meal was good.

   I keep being told I will get a call or Jennifer will make things right. Still nothing and it’s 1/29/2025. First I made my reservation on open table for a standard table because there were 5 of us. I walked in and the hostess said we have a high top. I said I have reservations for standard. She said "oh well" we have a high top or you can wait. I asked to speak to the manager and her immediate response was "he's busy". We ordered and it took literally 1:15 minutes to just get our food. The portions were so small. It's hard to believe a place like this stays open.

   I wanted to follow up after speaking with management this weekend and expressing my concern. We understand how frustrating it can be not receiving the attention and service you deserve, especially on a special occasion. We're taking your feedback seriously and will work on improving our service. Our new manager reached out earlier today and would welcome speaking with you. In the meantime, if I can do anything to assist, please let me know.

   We waited over an hour and a half after we ordered to get our food. We had ordered chicken lettuce, wraps, California roll and sweet and sour shrimp. When the waiter finally brought the lettuce wraps and shrimp, the lettuce wraps were ice cold. The sushi had been sitting at the sushi bar for a long time until I asked the waiter if he could check on that. People that were seated at least 30’minutes after us were served their food almost immediately. Apparently they were friends of the bartender. I get that it was busy but the service was beyond terrible!

    My dinner reservation from OpenTable on Christmas Night was not honored. I did not dine at the restaurant, nor will I ever.
