Creative menu, food was very tasty. Drink menu was interesting, tried a few different cocktails with a unique twist. Eclectic music choices, not overly loud - could still converse. A little pricey, but for a special occasion was worth the money.

Great spot for a date night. They take excellent care with execution - flavours, presentation and overall preparation is spot on. We enjoyed the service and food. Arrived in time for happy hour (half price wine, beer and sake) was the cherry on top!

I had their chicken paitan ramen bowl and the fresh egg noodles were amazing! But the egg was a bit too salty compared to most ramen places in Calgary.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but had to in this case because the service we got last night was truly amazing. We had a large group and never once did I run out of water, beer, or food. I didn’t understand the menu so our server ordered something for me and explained what it was. Our food came out all at the same time for our group of 9. Being a busy mom, I’m always running around looking after my family so I was looking forward to a nice meal with adults and this restaurant exceeded expectations. Our group was very happy with the food quality and taste; the drinks menu was varied enough that everyone got something they could enjoy. Thanks again for making our night out a blast!
