“I absolutely love this place, their crepes are incredible. I’ve had the matcha chocolate truffle and the lychee rose and both were excellent. The crepe itself is so crisp and the fillings are always balanced and not too sweet. My only feedback is I wish they had knives and plates to put the crepe on; I was sharing two with a friend and it was impossible to cut them with plastic forks and try to share. Besides that it’s so delicious and I can’t wait to try more of them!“

“We had a lovely dining experience at this restaurant. We had traveled to Washington DC from Toronto, and after a long day of walking and sight seeing, we were looking forward to some nice food. The Tonkotsu ramen was absolutely yummy, as was the California roll sushi. My husband ordered the tofu teriyaki rice and loved it. The staff was super friendly too.“

“We came to this restaurant to celebrate our daughter's birthday, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. Our server, Vi, was very rude for no reason. From the start, her attitude made us feel unwelcome. Once we finished eating, she made no effort at all to clear the plates from the table so we could enjoy dessert. We were sitting there surrounded by dirty dishes, and she walked by multiple times without acknowledging us or attempting to clean the table. It felt careless and disrespectful. What makes this even more frustrating is that this is not our first time here our previous visit was so much better, which is why we decided to come back for a special occasion. Sadly, the service this time was nowhere near the standard we expected. It really seems like when there's a table of five or more people, and the server knows a tip is guaranteed, they don't even try. This was just plain rude and very disappointing, especially on a day meant to celebrate. I hope management takes this seriously, because the food is good, but service like this makes people think twice about returning.“

“The Chicken Goyza and Tokyo Fries were great appetizers to share. The beef on the Tokyo fries was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I had the Thai Chili Margarita. It was so good I had another. A well crafted drink. My partner had the shichimi old fashion. It was very. We had the grilled duck tamen and the grilled shrimp and kimchi ramen. The shrimp and duck were perfectly cooked and both had a lovely broth with the ramen. Everything was delicious 😋“
