"Everything was phenomenal from the moment you enter the door to receiving the check. The chef at the counter making the tempura truly showcases the workmanship behind the art of tempura at this fine establishment. The wait service was very professional and they take great care to ensure your dining experience is memorable and cared for. This is not one to pass up on, and should be on everyone’s list to try, once."

"Wonderful experience for your special occasion! Awesome Japanese OMOTENASHI spirit, amazing artistic detailed each dishes, and great atmosphere. The chef did care about your personal dietary needs and even your eating paces. It’s totally worth it."

"What a wonderful dinner! We were a party of 5 and were seating in our own little room. It was cozy and nice. The food we delicious and we were all stuffed by the time we finished. I mean stuffed. They had a great sake collection and we tried the recommended one. It was dry, smooth and went perfectly with all the tempura. We also added the lobster. It was just all so good."

"This restaurant deserves a rating of it’s own for service! The staff is attentive to every tiny detail of the dining experience. The food is obviously incredible and includes a variety of carefully picked ingredients cooked as tempura. They have a few dishes surrounding the tempura such as sashimi. The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, and intimate. Highly recommend!"

"be warned: come with a very empty stomach. it was about 18 courses total and towards the end we were struggling. but all the food was amazing start to finish. the tempura is light and not oily at all. they give you instructions for each piece for pairings such as salt or tempura sauce. the appetizers were also incredible. i could eat a whole bowl of the chawanmushi. it had the perfect melt in your mouth texture. perhaps if they had only given one piece instead of two for most courses then it would’ve been more manageable."
