Had dinner here yesterday and honestly had such a great experience. The food was delicious and definitely worth it, especially the Yugen Special Fried Rice — easily one of the highlights of the night. The service was amazing as well. I had a waiter named Jeffrey (hopefully I got the spelling right haha) who was incredibly friendly and fun to talk to. I trusted him to pick my drinks for the night, and he brought me something absolutely phenomenal. Overall, it was a great place with amazing food, great service, and such a good atmosphere. I had a wonderful birthday night and would definitely come back again.

Also the best Gluten Free pasta and Italian I've had in a while. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a special meal. The perfect Mother's Day
