    We went at 4 PM, but stayed at the restaurant for over 2 hours due to the slow service. The food was too salty. We had to replace the 1st dish with another. All other dishes, we needed to take home to lower the salt level. The waiter was quite nice. However when we received 1 dish that was too salty, we asked for a bowl of rice to mellow down the taste. It took way too long for the rice to come. We were not pleased at all with our experience and have no intention to return.

    The service was great and we really liked the ambience. Food was good for some and less than what we would expect for some…

    The food for the price was disappointing, it would help if they had better descriptions of the food so you aren’t shocked at what comes out. The portions are small for the price, and overall each item was very bland as far as spice, specifically the noodles and wagyu fried rice

    Overall it was a good experience. The food was delightful and the service was spectacular. The drinks were subpar compared to restaurants in a similar price range but that was the only area I believe could use improvement.

    It was a great experience with delicious food and specials to choose from. Things that could make it a better is to find a better option rather than keeping the doors open when the hot stone is being in use. It made it terribly cold and uncomfortable
