Mind blowingly good dining experience! Josh was the best server we have ever had at any restaurant - he took the time to help us with the menu and explain the history and cultural significance of the items we chose. Food was INCREDIBLE, unlike anything we have ever had!

Carino was fantastic! Their Valentine’s Day special was so outstanding and we were able to get lucky with a secluded table for the evening. The service was outstanding and everyone that came to our table was so lovely.

Service was amazing. The food was really delicious and the ambiance was very nice. The food was definitely a little pricer for the portion size but that doesn't detract from how good it was. We got the momos, gnocchi and the tonkatsu curry. Everything was great. Would go again.

Went there for my wife's birthday. The staff were knowledgeable and gave us a very informative lesson on Sake and Tea. We shared the momos, then had the Gyozagna and the Tonkatsu Carbonara Curry as our mains. We had the cheesecake and the parfait for dessert paired with a wonderful tea. I can't emphasize enough just how good the food was. We will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.
