Olen käynyt pari kertaa. Ruoka ja tunnelma olivat kumpanakin kertana kohdallaan. Menuta voin lämpimästi suositella.

What a find! We weren't that hungry and they have numerous small plates to choose from. Two standouts are the tuna tartare with roe and other goodies served on a shrimp cracker, and the Korean cauliflower. We also enjoyed pickled cucumber, daikon and mushrooms, and the sashimi assortment. A dessert sampler was the perfect ending. Add in an incredible wine list, both by the glass and bottle, and super service and we had a very memorable evening.
