    Food and service are fantastic ! We had octopus, lobster bisque, sushi, asparagus and Hida steak. All the food are delicious but my favourite are the sushi, they are so delicious, and the hida steak, it melts in your mouth. We got yummie cheesecake for dessert for free for my birthday. The Mr Teramoto, the manager, is so nice and friendly, too, great service. We really enjoyed our lunch, thank you so much !!
