   I found the food to be good but mediocre .. I heard great reviews from my friend and wanted to try.. service was great but the food did not impress at all.

   While the food looks fine and the aesthetic of the restaurant is nice, it was sub par at best. The staff was not prepared to serve us even though we came later in the evening. The utensils, down to the carafe was filthy. The food was ehhh, looked plain, and felt like it was missing something at every food we had. The staff never came back to check on us after they dropped off the food, only to drop off the check. Lots of room for improvement.

   Refills not offered for our drinks. Door was left open to the patio so our seating area was freezing. Ticket times were long even for the appetizers. Rice was over cooked. Steak was under seasoned. I don’t normally leave reviews but coming from two people who have worked in the service industry for several years, something wasn’t right.

   Rough night. Reservations were running 30 minutes behind schedule. Servers were spread too thin. Food was pretty good but the overall experience suffered. I’m in no hurry to return.

   This was our third time eating here and unfortunately the food quality and service have continued to decline. It was mediocre at best to start with and we thought we would give them another try but we will not be returning again.

   We randomly chose OBON on opentable maps and it did not disappoint! The sushi and crispy rice trios were great.
