Overall the service was superb. The cleanliness however was questionable. We got there exactly at the reservation time and were seated immediately. The table we were bought too was clean except the chairs having food on them. Food was okay. Not many selections. For the price, I just didn't see the value. I understand majority of the folks there, were there for the crab legs. I wished there were more a variety. It's a very limited selection.

The food and service was terrific. A great spin on some asian favorites. Nice variety of cocktails and service was top notch. If you're in the Disneyland area, a really chic restaurant to visit. Highly recommended

I would not recommend this restaurant. We had been wanting to try it after seeing a post on Instagram but we left very underwhelmed. The food was dry and bland with tiny portions and high prices. I did not get my money's worth. I left still hungry. Very disappointing. The decor was nice and service was great but that was the only highlight.

Pretty neat place. I liked the chatter that was going around so I didn't feel awkward eating. The food was good and I selected it based on previous reviews of the place. In my opinion, the OMG Honey Roll was superb and soft and has a good, small kick in addition to the creaminess of the avocado. The Double Hamachi Roll was good but I prefer eating the fried shallots to the side rather than pairing it on top of the roll. I do wish it had more ponzu sauce. The Octopus with Herbs is tangy but good! My boyfriend very much liked it! And the Toro Tartare is very small and the cost is probably significantly increased due to the caviar so, if you never tried caviar, it's a dish to try but not exactly a dish to regularly get. Otherwise, their mochi ice cream was very delicious and the mochi wasn't tough! It was very easy to split in half as well!

Everything was going right when we almost done but our seafood fried rice hasn't arrived yet , so we end up canceling it. Kind of disappointed cause im looking forward to taste that rice cause it was our first time there and i know it would taste great too but will watch a show after , i dont want it to get messed up in our car since it ‘s seafood if i decided to take it to go.

The waitress tried to scam us.
When we received the bill, it showed the exact same order we placed , same order sequence, food, and drinks, but with 4 extra dishes added, totaling $90 more on top of my bill. When I questioned it, the waiter looked startled and quickly snatched the bill away, claiming they had mistakenly given us another table’s check.

But I don’t believe any other table could have ordered in the exact same order and combination of items as we did.

On top of that, the restaurant is not hygienic. I ordered the Matcha Tiramisu for dessert and it was sour and clearly fermented. When I pointed it out, they just gave a half-hearted apology and did nothing to resolve the issue.

This place claims to be fine dining, but the quality is worse than a basic food stall. I will never return and I will be warning all my friends. The food here is poorly preserved and has a high risk of causing food poisoning.

Service is good, the server gave a very generous explanation of the menu items and the ambience is quite nice. The food itself it's alright, with lackluster portions and bold flavors.

Very cute space and well decorated. Food is Asian fusion.  Plates are Sharable and brought out as they are ready. All the food we ordered was amazing. My favorite was the yellow tail jalapeño roll, the wonton and wings. The drinks were aesthetically pleasing and tasted good.  Service was great! I wish they had music to add to the vibe. I definitely recommend this spot.
