“From food to service this place knocked it out of the park! Coming from NYC and been to Japan twice I think this is one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve ever had.
Seasoning for each dish was just right. The chef kindly gave me three pieces of dried stingray fin to try. Don’t be fooled by the name. I was surprised by how well seasoned and cooked it was. Moist yet crispy and sweet. It was so good that I ordered a whole plate.
Service wise, I dined solo at the counter. Chef and waiting staff were all super attentive but also gave me space to enjoy the food. During our conversation, I casually mentioned how good the mangos in Hawai’i were. The waitress kindly asked the pastry chef to add a few pieces of mango to my dessert. It was such a pleasant surprise!
Last but not least, they allow half sizes to some of the dishes. It was a huge positive cause it allowed me to try more dishes!“

“This place was fantastic. Such a great variety of food and beverages on offer. It is on the 3rd floor of the building. You get to the restaurant by going up to the top of the stairs on the side of the building. I cannot recommend the yuzu chicken enough. It is super moist with crispy skin. And the yuzu sauce is super flavourful without being too tangy. I chose to just have it with a side of regular white rice. It was so Ono!! We cannot wait to go again to try other menu offerings.“

Street parking or park in the lot across from the restaurant in spots #15 to #28 and when you sit down, they have a QR code for you to scan to pay for parking.“
