   Excellent service. Outstanding food. Music was not to our liking and was a bit too loud. Cold draft coming from the doors as our table was right in front. But, overall AMAZING!

   Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review, Stephanie! While we know the loud vibey tunes aren't everyone's jam, we are super glad to know you found the food and service to be so fantastic. Apologies on the draft as well, I know that can certainly detract from the overall experience. Anyway, thanks again for visiting us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

   Sashimi and sparkles was extremely disappointing. It took an hour before it was served and the quality and presentation was underwhelming.

   Hey Tim - I am so sorry you found the specialty sashimi to be disappointing and sorrier yet to learn that there were delays in receiving your food. I can imagine the frustration you must be feeling after your visit, and I'd love an opportunity to make it up to you! If you're keen to give us another chance, I will personally book your next visit to ensure you receive the experience you deserve. Please feel welcome to reach out to me directly. At Your Service, Lauren Bachar General Manager

   I ordered the lobster fried rice, and when it was served there was not one piece of lobster to be found. I sent it back and they prepared me another lobster fried rice. The second attempt had lobster but while I was eating I found a red rubber band in my food. I sent the second lobster fried rice back and spoke to the manager. The manager was so embarrassed he decided to take care of the bill. He then sent us home with a new lobster fried rice. When we got home and opened the takeaway lobster fried rice , it of course had no lobster on it. We were celebrating our anniversary and this restaurant tried to make it right but fell short again. We were really excited to try this place but i do not know what is going on in the kitchen. Disaster after disaster occurred and we went home hungry. I never experienced this in my life. The manager ( I think his name was Will) tried to recover what was left of our anniversary dinner but the kitchen fell short again.

   Hi Neshamy, As I have mentioned in our separate email communication, we are terribly sorry to learn about the culinary comedy of errors you suffered the other night at our restaurant. And we are more than prepared to make it right by you! I am thrilled to know that you're willing to give us another chance. We will iron out those details via email and I will look forward to your next visit so that we can truly knock it out of the park for you. At Your Service, Lauren Bachar General Manager

   Food was very good, wait staff was wonderful. Kitchen was a little slow. Great place to have dinner and then go for drinks elsewhere in south end.

   Food and drinks were delicious. We tried the Lychee Martini, the Mandalorian and the Shogun. For our chief specialties we had the Sourhend shrimp. They were absolutely delicious. We had a few Nigiri options and sushi sushi rolls as well as the Lobster fried rice. Overall, I would definitely return here and recommend friends. The service was excellent and the food tasty!
