I didn’t end up coming here for brunch but I heard that’s the best. Came for a birthday dinner and had very creative dishes. The atmosphere is very simple, calming, and nice!

I took my wife on a date night yesterday. We like fine food and have had some amazing experiences around the world .several Michelin restaurants. First of all our waiter Julio took us on a journey through his description of the food and Sake . Julio paired every meal like painter does color . His direction was outstanding and the food followed with such complexity and fun . We will be back again and again and again . Ask for Julio he paints before the pigments hits the canvas .

I’m literally unsure of how they survive. The space is beautiful and enormous, but the service was mediocre and the food even worse. Went for a friend’s birthday and split the bill; wish I hadn’t. The fried chicken was all batter with subpar pieces of chicken for $17, the rest of the food was so forgettable that I’ve forgotten what we ordered and the glasses of wine are overpriced even by NYC standards. Please don’t waste your time with this place.

THE B E S T pancakes I have ever had in my life. You should go just for the pancakes WOW! The food and ambiance is good, the host staff a little rude but over all 9/10 brunch spot.

Wow, what a night, with flavors that can barely be described. They are so perfectly crafted. The almond miso soup packs so much flavor. The skewers are delicate. But the star of the show is the mazemen. I'm not sure I've ever had a dish like this and not sure I'll have one again. Definitely add the egg to give this dish and edge you will tell everyone about. The staff also deserves a shout out as everyone is so pleasant, knowledgeable and they make it seem like they've all been working together forever.

Had heard such great things but was so disappointed by dinner here.The service was wonderful, sake sommelier super knowledgeable and decor very cool, but the food was just not good.The chicken meatball skewer was dense and bland with no cartilage in the mix. The fried chicken came limp and damp, smothered in sauces that made it lose any crunch. And their “tonkatsu” was a pork schnitzel (no panko breadcrumbs…) that was still rare in spots.Go to try sake by glass at the bar but skip the food.

Overall disappointed. Atmosphere and service was good but the food was fair at the best. We were so hungry but left half of the food. I would say the food was poor for this

The food was incredible, the pancake should definitely be shared. I struggle to finish one alone. The environment is really nice and the staff is incredible. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience.

Very cool vibe and great Japanese food. did not have a bad bite, but would skip the sashimi and focus on the skewers and
202311It's a cute Japanese restaurant with a good business, but I also think it's a little overrated. The egg sandwich is quite expensive and on the empty side. The braised pork bowl is super Taiwanese and homemade. I don't know why we had the soufflé that day. I wanted to forget it. It turned out that the more we ate, the more sour it became, which caused a reaction to the waiter. But we were almost done with it, so we decided to forget it and wouldn’t order it again in the future!But the environment is really cute. You can still come and have dinner and chat. Just don’t expect too much from the food.

The brunch my friends and I just had exceeded expectations. Every item we ordered was made with care and detail, with fresh and interesting ingredients. The soufflé pancake is an absolute must — if you go and don’t order it, you’re missing out. The texture! The butter! Wow. We also loved the Brussel sprouts, the smashed cucumbers and their salads. The Douglas Fir-Bank and the N/A red bell pepper drink were stand outs. The atmosphere and interior design (organic modern feel) and even the walkway into the dining room - perfection. No notes!

Came here a while back for brunch and it was amazing! My friend knew someone working there so we got some free food on the house. My favorites were the souffle pancake and, surprisingly enough, the curry potato salad. The drinks were delicious, and the service was great. I found it cute that they had soy sauce in little dropper bottles too.

We dropped in at a bar seat for a snack. Really lively atmosphere and good range of prices depending on what your stomach and budget are feeling!
