Food is good and comes out pretty quickly. We had a reservation but they were still waiting for tables to get up and there is really no space for waiting. We got sat about 10 minutes past our reservation at the bar. They did give us mochi on the house which was nice. Overall it was pleasant and I would come back!

They didn't have a baby changer, I wanted to order a quesadilla on the place next door and they had police of not outside food (my baby es 1 year, she cannot eat raw fish), I asked them if they could cook a fish for my baby, and they said no, they could just seal the fish???, the waiters were not nice. Food wasn't special at all.
