    We came in for the Dine Out Boston, but on comparing their restaurant week menu on Sunday ($46 for a limited amount of premium meat) to the regular premium menu ($54 for unlimited of plenty of choices), we decided to just go with the normal premium each. Good food if you're coming in with an appetite to feast while also being quick and savvy with cooking the meats. It would be great if they also gave us a separate tongs for picking up the cooked foods, to reduce contamination.

    Went with a party of four. This was our first omakase dinner so none of us knew what to expect. The staff was friendly and courteous as were the chefs. The food blew us away, everything was amazing and very high quality.

    Overall, everything was excellent! The ribs were tender, but also crispy on the outside with great flavor. Scallion pancakes were thin enough, but not over fried with a tasty dipping sauce. Teriyaki chicken skewers, garlic edamame, and crab Rangoon were all delicious! I would say all of the appetizers are worth getting and sharing because we didn’t have one bad bite. Would definitely come back again with friends
