   The place is nice and the people that work there are very friendly. However the food takes more time than expected and the food is between average and below average. Nigiris are ok. Pad Thai the worst I have ever eaten.

   The Wagyu beef appetizer was super tough and chewy, which is the exact opposite of what Wagyu beef is supposed to be. The flavor was good, but I wore my jaw out, chewing it. The same was true with the fillet, overcooked and tough. I think whoever the meat supplier is needs to be changed out. Any customer that wants to order a Wagyu appetizer and a fillet for dinner is expecting decent meat. If it’s not good, don’t put it on the menu.  the service also seemed a little unorganized. I realize the restaurant is new and they’re probably working out some kinks, but both of these things need to improve.

   The atmosphere is beautiful. The drinks were pretty. The food was fair. We did family style and tried a few appetizers and a few sushi rolls. The sushi was not very good. Overly saucdd yet bland in flavor and was room temperature - that turned me off. The shrimp pad Thai had a fishy/ frozen shrimp smell and taste - not very fresh. I was in a party of six and we were initially seated at a table for five. We had to squeeze in. The table was crowded. The guy clearing the table spilled soy sauce down the back of my coat and chair - it was a mistake and they tried to clean it nonetheless it was unpleasant. This place is hyped up on social media big time but I suggest eating somewhere else and then going there for a drink or night scene. The price did not match quality of food.

   Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday and we were severely underwhelmed by the food and service. 1. I had to get up and pour our own water because our drinks weren’t coming. 2. Had to wait at least 25 minutes after finishing our first course to get our second. 3. Asked for my steak medium rare, came back medium well. 4. Asked for a dessert that never came. 5. We closed out early because we were in a hurry, our server disappeared and I had to run around the restaurant asking for help hunting down my dessert. It’s a restaurant that turns into a club afterwards but if you’re there for dinner close to the club hours (7-9pm) forget about getting any service.

   Food was served very erratically. Some food was cold. Four guests didn’t like the Dan Dan noodles don’t eat them but was not asked about them when the table was cleared.

    Everything was great. Delicious food and great menu during SDRW. We only wish that servers were giving a little privacy to the guests. They are constantly checking on you , cleaning table etc. it was a bit annoying. Other than that it’s great.
