Came here tonight to celebrate my daughter's 15th birthday. We came in at 5:30 on a Saturday and were seated within a few... minutes with a party of 9. Our server was Daquan (spelling is probably wrong) and he did such an amazing job taking care of us.They kept our cake in the cooler for us and he brought it out at the end of our meal, helped put all the candles in and broughtit to our table. He even went as far as to cut and serve the cake for us. We always enjoy the food and service here, buttonight, D went above and beyond for us to make it a special birthday dinner for my girl. Thank you D for taking such good careof us! Read more

I will start with our server was great and very helpful with my food allergies and dietary restrictions. No lofty assumptions... that my milk allergy was an intolerance. I really appreciate that. With that said, be VERY cautious if you have milkallergy. The coconut lemongrass Moonstone Sake is amazing! Their sushi is always good and I appreciate that there are at leasta few vegan rolls available and vegetable hibachi (not sure if they use butter/margarine for hibachi here, I didn?t want to riskit). Just beware that the tempura veggie rolls ARE NOT vegan. Their tempura batter contains milk. You can get those rollswithout tempura though. I had to wait a really long time for my food because they used tempura on the first order and it had tobe redone. I was so hungry I forgot to take photos before I ate. It would be AMAZING if they made a vegan specialityroll. However that?s where the vegan-friendliness ends because all their tofu dishes use a breading that contains milk andsupposedly they can?t fry the tofu without it or it would fall apart. Seriously?! They need to order firmer tofu then becauseit?s completely possible to fry tofu without breading if it?s firm enough. All vegans know anything above medium firm can befried on its own. Way to ruin Asian cuisine for us traveling vegans/non-dairy people. This applies to ALL breading apparentlyso beware if you?re a meat eater with any milk issues. Also TEMPURA ISN?T SUPPOSED TO HAVE MILK IN IT! ??????????? Read more

Tried this restaurant because my favorite Japanese place was closed. I must say i was highly impressed. The food was delicious!... Only thing that i didn't care for was the soup that comes with the entree the taste was good however it was cold, and the steakcomes as a full steak so i had to chop it up myself. But the food was amazing. And i ordered sushi. It was so crunchy and good.I really enjoyed the chicken which was dark meat. I will definitely go back again. Read more

My Bride and I just had a great sushi lunch. We split everything and I?m so full. Lite supper tonight. Everything was... surprisingly good and we really enjoyed our eel and California rolls along with tempura veggies. Wednesday is a good day forlunch as they have a lot of small rolls priced reasonably. Read more

This is my and my husband's go to place for date night! They have a great selection of cocktails, appetizers and sushi! We get... the potstickers and starburst martinis every time. They don't open until 4:30 on the weekends and tend to fill up quickly, Isuggest making a reservation if you don't want to wait for about 45 minutes or more! They are a very popular place, and for goodreason! Read more
