This restaurant is over the top. We sat in front of the kitchen staff and watched the staff who made our food in real time. I got the shrimp truffle rice, AMAZING!! Everything was amazing. If the restaurant could let me sleep there, then wake up and eat again, I would live there. The staff was so professional and friendly, our a server was Rodney and he knows his job. I would defin be coming back, again and again. Very good spot..

Came for a pre dinner drink, stayed for the whole meal because of the vibe and after getting a look at the menu. Stephanie and the whole staff took care of us so well!

Took our son here for his 15th birthday and was incredibly impressed with the service and the food. They went above and beyond to make it a great experience. The entire staff and most notably the general manager were awesome. The bonus was a separate gluten free menu which was amazing for my GF daughter.

This place was so good. The sushi was so good, but the pan seared dumplins... AMAZING! But honestly, our server Robbie honestly mage the experience the best ❤️ He was so kind, attentive and made such good recommendations! I would serve return again especially if I knew Robbie would be my waiter! A little more on the price of your side, but if you have never been, you're missing out.

I’m gonna get to the food I swear, but I gotta shout out to the staff that welcomed us, STEPHANIE!! She made the whole damn experience for us!! Excellent recommendations and maybe the most endearing personality with the perfect amount of attentiveness with the space for privacy. Bravo, Stephanie thank you!
The food was phenomenal, we got the spicy chili dumplings which were bomb, did a ton of Salmon. Nigiri and an assortment of salmon and spicy roll! Definitely 5 stars and I’ll return the next time we’re in the city!!

This restaurant was awesome! The atmosphere alone is what sold me but the food, service, drinks and music were all equally superb!! I had the hibachi chicken, I definitely recommend! And the “summer cranberry high bar” cocktail. I called it a sunberry LOL

This place was amazing. The menu was so stunning cute, food was good, the vibes were vibing, the general manger (can't remember his name i think it started with a *B) and Audrey were amaze balls (they both need raises. Ill be honest I didn't care for the short ribs but everything else was chef's kiss!! And whoever had the aux cable give them a raise too because the music was everything, lol.
One of my new favorite restaurants in town! the sushi was amazing and don't even get me started on the desserts. I even got a cocktail that you can specialize with a picture: I of course chose Dolly Parton!
Ordered the Monster Roll and an assortment of classic rolls to share - was not disappointed! Fresh fish, clean flavors, beautiful presentation. Decor is warm, seating is comfortable and the bar is lively. Great place to take a date or meet up with a small group.

Tried 698 for dinner last night for the first time! Absolutely fantastic experience and food! We were greeted by an awesome host, very energetic and friendly! A rarity these days! He sat us with Audrey, one of the best waitresses we’ve had in a very long time! She clearly loved her job, was passionate about the menu, gave us suggestions and was very personable! Will be asking for her when we come back! Highly recommend this restaurant and requesting Audrey!
