They were super attentive, and asked if the modifications for different orders were the same. And when they made a small mistake, they quickly noticed without me even pointing it out, and resolved it. I was very impressed. Skewers are tasty. Note for self: between the beef and the lamb skewers, we actually preferred the beef. Maybe because it's a bit more fatty. Garlic sauce on the eggplant and vermicelli scallop is slightly spicy, but not too bad, probably from the garlic kick. Would come back again! Also it's super kid friendly surprisingly. Lots of high chairs and lots of kids eating there.

First time trying this place for my sister's birthday. I made reservations for a party of 6 about…read moretwo weeks in advance, and I'm glad I did because when we arrived around 7 PM, the restaurant was packed and busy. Just a heads up, they only accept phone reservations for groups of 6 or more. If you have fewer than 6 people, it's walk-in only. Ordering is done through a QR code where you can add items to your cart. I actually liked that multiple people in the party can scan the QR code and add items themselves instead of having one designated person order everything or having separate carts that no one else can see. The only downside is that it can be easy to accidentally over-order if someone adds something you were already planning to get, so I recommend reviewing your cart carefully before submitting. Since this is a skewer restaurant, you probably won't get super full from just ordering skewers, so I recommend getting some main dishes as well if you want to feel satisfied without spending too much on just meat. Service was pretty quick and the skewers came out in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, they were sold out of a few items we wanted to try, which was a little disappointing, but maybe that's a sign I'll have to come back again. Everything we did try was delicious. The skewers were well-seasoned, and they also have extra seasoning available at the table. They allowed us to bring a birthday cake, stored it in their freezer for us, and provided plastic forks and paper plates, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would consider coming back when I'm in the mood for skewers. I don't think it's somewhere I'd crave all the time, but I have no major complaints. Parking can be a little difficult, but luckily we were able to find public parking at the garage on Flores Street.

The lumpia, fried tofu, Filipino ceviche with grilled pork belly, grilled squid, bangus sisig, sinigang soup, garlic rice, and dessert were all just delicious. They even customized a Calamansi lemon drop for me and how refreshing! Overall: 5/5 Absolutely amazing and worth the trip here. Can't wait to come back and try everything else on their menu!

We were seated as soon as we got into the restaurant which was nice because I was worried that we would have to make reservations. I was so overwhelmed with the menu but the server recommended the momos as an appetizer. We ordered lamb momos and wow, they were delicious! I'm picky with my lamb but this was hitting the spot and I would definitely go back for it! They're big in size and come with 6 pieces. We ordered the tandoori chicken and vindaloo chicken. Both were delicious. We devoured our plates and also had garlic naan. I truly enjoyed this location and would come back plentiful! If the empty plate doesn't say anything then idk what does..

I think it's more of a 3.5 overall score. There's so much…read morepotential but it lacks precision, execution and attention to detail. The ambiance is a bit similar to a fast casual restaurant than that of a high end course meal and the service aligns with that. Bathrooms are in a bit of a sorry state and chairs are peeling at the edges. Service is a bit clumsy and rushed. No one asks for any food restrictions before the meal and it isn't asked when reservations are being made, so you'll have to actively speak up if you need this addressed. Dishes are only fully explained at the bar, if you sit at the standard tables you'll get a very basic dish explanation. The food is mostly Chinese Japanese fusion and some dishes knock it out of the park, like the chawanmushi which is fused with flavors of Chinese egg drop soup. Some really drop the ball, like the scallion noodles which were soggy and overly greasy, the oil was not properly infused with the green onion and so you just got mushy soggy plain oil flavored noodles. The course lacked consistency. Some dishes were incredible, some average, and some downright bad. There's a lack of consistency in the prep also, there were crab shells in the orange crab dish, there was a bad bitter uni in one of the chawanmushi, etc. I think the ambiance, service, and course doesn't add up to the $150 price tag. There's definitely potential but the lack of effort does affect the overall experience.

Besides the fried rice, the tuna and salmon sashimi are large, fresh, and high quality. Many times when I eat sashimi that is not very clean, it upsets my stomach and makes me want to use the restroom. However, the food here is both clean and fresh, and I had absolutely no discomfort after the meal. I also ordered chawanmushi and stir fried udon, both of which were very well executed. I would give full marks to this restaurant for both its sashimi dishes and main courses. The service is good, the environment is clean, and the dishes are priced normally, perhaps slightly on the higher side, but the value for money is reasonable. The only downside is that parking around this area is quite difficult. Overall, however, I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys omakase and appreciates high quality Japanese cuisine. 酥脆的魚皮加上鰻魚的香味，交織成一盤非常好吃的炒飯。我沒有想到在這麼偏離美食街中心的位置還有這一家好吃的日本料理。除了炒飯之外，鮪魚和鮭魚生魚片大片又新鮮，很多時候我吃不乾淨的生魚片料理會想上廁所，這家的食物又乾淨又新鮮，我在餐後完全沒有不良的反應。我也點了蒸蛋和炒烏龍麵，也是表現的非常不錯，我對這家餐廳的生魚片料理和主食給予滿分評價，良好的服務，乾淨的環境，正常且略為高價的料理，但是性價比合理。美中不足的地方是這附近停車非常困難，不過總體來說，推薦給喜歡吃Omakase的各位老饕。

We thought it was... odd. Taste is certainly subjective but I would not order this again Top Secret was another highly rated dish and tasted flat Amongst the 10 piece omakase set I'd say 5 were tasty. The rest were ok, and almost all of them required dipping in soy sauce (good omakase generally does not) Mochigo Ebi tasty very heavy and greasy The service felt surprisingly "fast casual" as well. Our dishes came out quickly and the server kept asking us to move stuff around to make space. Don't expect a slower dining experience. All in all, ok spot to try out once to see if it's your cup of tea.

When we walked in the restaurant was practically empty and about 4 workers were standing around waiting behind the counter. We built our own poke bowls and there were many toppings to choose from, most of them free. The regular bowl lets you select 4 types of protein which is generous, but the server uses a scale to measure the weight. Regular poke bowl: The quality of the fish was decent, but lacked flavor, even with the sauces. This is partially my fault, but the amount of toppings on the bowl takes away from the overall taste of the poke bowl. Would prefer a more authentic Hawaiian style poke bowl over this.

Disclaimer: this review is for the food only because it was take out…read more The fish was of decent quality but I would definitely say on the smaller side in terms of portion. If you're someone that likes to taste more of the natural flavors of each ingredient, then perhaps this is for you. I believe most if not all the sides were pickled but they tasted only very lightly pickled. The truffle mayo was delicious but only covered so much of the bowl so overall it tasted more like a salad with minimal dressing where the ingredients weren't quite uniting.
