The food wasn't too bad, but the cocktails were over the top sweet and not great. Would recommend their sushi options!

I hear you should wait a while after a restaurant opens to try it. And honestly, the 2nd time was better, not that the first time was horrible or anything. There are some odd, yet tasty and fun, options. My advice is don't be afraid to try something different. And Definitely try their non-sushi sushi if raw fish isn't your thing. My only real critique is that the steak appetizer didn't have as much steak as I was hoping, though it was tasted great.

Ambiance : We walked in on Saturday, December 30th and it was super quiet. I'm thinking it was because of the holiday weekend but it felt very cozy in there. I immediately loved the decor and the seats. There were only two other people in the entire restaurant while we were there. Service: The young lady greeted us and was very friendly. She told us we could choose a seat of our liking and handed us paper menus. She gave us enough space to think about our order and brought back our drinks quickly. Food: The menu is not that extensive which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I think I'd like more options on the sushi and entree side and would love to see dessert. We ordered a total of four items: Appetizer: Mofongitos de yuca 10/10!!!! OMG this right here, I love yuca and thought I'd be great, but this was so good. The mofongito is filled with their delicious guacamole and we chose the chicharrón option ; that along with the crunch of the beautifully fried yuca boat, chef kiss. For entree we had the following rolls: The Karol G , the crunchie, the Ninja, and the No bulto. Our top two were the Ninja and the Karol G! The ninja had the tempura chicken and some yummy sauce and the Karol G had ropa vieja on top. We give the restaurant a 4 out of 5 it was delicious. I did feel that for the amount of people at the restaurant the food could have come out a bit faster but over it was great and we will be back.

By my 2nd visit they had worked out the kinks and I'm happy I gave them another chance. Definitely some funky selections, but worth the risk. Had a hard time narrowing down appetizer choices that haven't tried an actual entree yet. But Definitely enjoyed apps and drinks both times. Wished there was a bit more steak on the steak appetizer, but it tasted great.

Too many issues. no managers responding to privately sent correspondence. Poor service and poor management.

Food was cold the items that were supposed to be hot were cold. The service wasn't good didn't really listened to my requests and was on his own world. I don't think I'll be visiting this location again.
