We had a dinner reservation as a family of 3 for the Teppanyaki and had the special menu for 2 people and two Maki sets of 8. That was a lot of food for 3 people. We upgraded the 8 oz. Canadian AAA striploin in the menu and had 4 oz. Canadian AAA striploin and 4 oz. Japanese 5A Wagyu as per the recommendation of our server and that was the best decision. The Japanese 5A Wagyu and the lobster were my absolute favourites though all the food and the soup were amazing. Our server was extremely helpful with good knowledge of the menu and made sure everything went smoothly for us. The ambiance was nice. The only not so positive feedback would be that we felt a bit rushed by our chef as he cooked a bit too fast. As we were eating salmon, the next meat and the next meat came one after another before we had a chance to finish the first item. And we had to rush to eat while everything was still hot. Otherwise, the chef’s cooking was amazing too. Overall, it was a great experience for all of us and we really enjoyed it.

Fabulous experience. Came here for a friends birthday. Hailey looked after us. So attentive and kind. The sushi was so fresh and delicious,, and maki creative . They brought us complimentary Edamame and miso soup which were such a nice touch, along with matcha cheesecake with a candle. Couldn’t recommend it more! Can’t wait to come back!!

Had a wonderful omakase experience! Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The fish was incredibly fresh, and each piece had its own unique flavour and texture. The chef was knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish and share interesting details about the ingredients. I especially appreciated the personal interaction with the chef and the waiters It made the experience feel intimate, authentic, and special rather than just another dinner. Excellent food, great service, and a memorable experience from beginning to end. Definitely worth visiting, and I would happily come back again!
