Wonderful find in the theater District area. The food is absolutely delicious and prepared with care. Service was attentive. Tables and benches are not super comfortable and the atmosphere is quite loud so it's often difficult to hear. For a quick bite before the theater I would highly recommend!

Great Japanese restaurant. Everything we had tasted great. There is also a bonus in very good cocktail menu which I would not consider as automatic in such a restaurant.

We enjoyed the 15-course omicase. We were concerned because we had only about 90 minutes to dine before a show, but our server and the rest of the wonderful staff made it possible for us to finish the meal in a leisurely manner. We would definitely go there again.
