Went on a Dine Out Vancouver experience, multi course dinner for $67 Canadian. So many things to nosh on, but because they were tiny bites, it always leaves you craving for more. I suppose that's the idea, as you can always come back and order the full course. The sake sampler featured some wonderful, fragrant sakes, but the servings were teeny tiny and not worth the $26 charge for the pairings. Better to get full glasses and/or bottles. Service was very nice, but the dishes...

Second visit since the new chef entered the arena. Quite pleasant although it seems that they are still in taking-off phase. We will be back after the Holydays to see the progress! Service was kind and efficient, the venue is cosy and quiet.

This place is really good. I eat Japanese food 2-3x a week and I’ve been to Japan 15 times. This place offers a range of food - from economical to higher end stuff. Best to go with people who know Japanese food well, but the service is so good that if you’re unfamiliar they’re more than happy to help you. I loved this place! Highly recommend!
