Not only was the food great, but the staff are super friendly and attentive. there was this one busser in particular i think his name as alex and he was a real charmer. All my gay friends were practically in love with him.

From the crispy rice to the panna cotta, this was the most amazing meal I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you, Chef Sam, for curating such an incredible selection of Japanese fish. A huge thank you as well to the staff for the outstanding service, and to the bar for the delicious cocktail. I absolutely loved everything. I can’t wait to come back
