    The food is great, the dining experience is good. I don't know the point of a reservation if you still have to wait 45 min once you check in for your reservation. Isn't the point to show up to be seated within 10-15 min max.

    This used to be my favorite place, but sadly it has really gone downhill. Even if you make a reservation six days in advance, you still waiting 45 minutes after your scheduled time. They need to find a better way to accommodate people who are making their appointment so far advance. our server had a very hard time speaking English and kept bringing us the wrong drink. Food is always good, but definitely will go to tempenyaki instead.

    The chef totally ignored my party. We had to ask for our rice. Then we were not served the vegetables when everyone else got there’s. My bill was wrong. That was corrected by our server though very quickly. It was so disappointing. We had been looking so forward to going. I realize our family was not as larger as the other but it was as we were invisible.

    There were too many bdays happening last night, mine included. We heard happy birthday being sung about every 5-10 minutes through out the restaurant. Just at our table there was another party celebrating their birthday. Our Chef zero focused on them and we felt as if we were wall flowers to their party. Ignored and uncomfortable. The food was so so. The low quality soup and salad could have been done with out and the rest of the food felt like we were on a basic bland diet rubbed in butter.

    Our chef was new and lacked the skills and speed that our previous chefs have had over the years. We watched the table next to ours be entertained by their chef’s showmanship, and receive their food well before we did, despite having been seated 1/2 hour after we were.
