    The atmosphere is stylish and hip, and the intriguing menu options were what drew us to this place. It's definitely worth trying, though I wouldn't say the prices are quite worth it. The music was a bit loud and did not make for easy conversation with tablemates.

    Service, FOOD, cocktails, & sake were outstanding! Our server offered some bomb recommendations, and the fried dough for dessert blew my mind. Very fun vibe.

    We started with cocktails which tasted delicious and some interesting flavours. We started with some sushi which I think is some of the best I have had, up there with Nobu. Waiting staff were really friendly and was a great evening.

    The food was good but definitely overpriced. The environment was very cool and I really liked the design of the place. The food came out very slow and the table that came after us actually got the food we both ordered first, which was confusing. But the main reason this place got a 2 star overall was that the hostess stopped us while we were leaving asking for more tip. This took us by surprise as she was very passive aggressive about it. Basically guilting is to change the tip amount, she also said the average percentage of what customers usually tip so she didn’t understand why we didn’t also tip that amount. I understand that serving is a tough job but stoping the customer and asking for more money is just rude. We ended up tipping more but we definitely will not be going back.

    Our waiter Mike was so awesome making the experience that much better! The food was so flavorful! You can definitely taste the cultural fusion. Drinks were great and the chicken fried rice, Omg! If you’re a foodie you must visit for sure.

    We sat at the bar, ordered cocktails and appetizers. The bar staff was very thorough in explaining the menu and what I could order that was gluten free. Everything was beautifully plated and delicious. We ordered the Phoenix Sunrise, blackened octopus and lomi lomi. Would definitely return and recommend.

    Very interesting and tasty menu. Our waiter, Dan, was extremely helpful in suggesting choices. Only complaint: “music” way too loud. Will certainly return.
