    The service was subpar and the noise was way too loud for a business meeting.

    We seated at 12:30 with a reservation. We got a water and proceeded to order over the next 10 minutes and sat for the next hour with no food whatsoever. Finally at 1:30 we had to get up and leave as we had a meeting to go to. They were shortstaffed, obviously in both the white staff and in the kitchen. The waitress apologize it wasn’t her fault. As we were leaving, she stated our food was up and they boxed up a few items for us to take with us at no cost. Very frustrating lunch !!!

    Our server Chris was the best! We enjoyed our dinner here and can't wait to come back again soon. We sat on the patio and they kept the heaters on the patio nice and toasty. We ordered the Poke appetizer, the shrimp tempura appetizer, and the Ebi roll, everything was so good. Great service!

    Portion size is very small. I was expecting an entire sushi roll for a $32 appetizer not two pieces of each.
