We couldn't stop thinking about this place and the taste of the food since we visited 3yrs ago from New York. Japantown is such a treat my hubby & sons and this restaurant makes it a gem! The servers are very attentive, the atmosphere is very inviting and even has a floral rose wall for photo-ops. I would love for more attention to be given to the bathrooms. The handprints on the door are disturbing. The oysters were fresh and taste like ocean..food came out sizzling and smelling amazing. Definitely worth a visit! 🙏🏽

I came in to get a little snack while waiting for an appointment, and was a little shocked by the prices. I really wanted curry tempura, so decided to go for it anyway. The tempura mushrooms were absolute perfection, some of the best, juiciest and most flavorful tempura I’ve had! A very large portion of big cuts of mushroom for just an appetizer as well. The curry was delicious and everything I wanted, large pieces of carrot and potato cooked to tenderness. It’s cute inside too, nicely decorated. Really glad I came here!
