Took my boyfriend here for his bday and he loved it! I believe it was 15 courses including apps, nigiri’s and dessert. It’s in a basement hidden from outside and it’s lowkey intimate, but energetic vibes! I think 12 ppl total. It truly was unlimited sake and they made sure to top you off right away and the waiters/chefs also were energetic and in a great mood making it a fun party vibe! At the end all bday people got sparklers. Reminder it’s cash only!

Had a delicious lunch here last weekend. Service was friendly and prompt and the view is splendid. My husband enjoyed his chicken katsu very much. The lobster tempura roll as are the lobster wantons is extraordinary. I would definitely recommend Luna Asian Bistro.
