"Good food....just thought the chicken karaage was under cooked, however, our waitress and manager had advised us that that's how they prepare it, and asked us if we wanted it cooked longer....we said it was okay. Our waitress was very nice."

"They have iPads to keep the kiddies entertained. Awesome!!! It's free to use--all they need is your credit card to hold while you use the iPad. It helped keep my 2 year-old entertained long enough for us to enjoy dessert. Yay! And our server, Carolyn, was great!"

"Japanese food with a twist. Some dishes were amazing. Others, OK. Tempura was done very well, crispy, light, and not oily. It's always fun to try a new dish at this place. The service was welcoming and personable. Their signature dessert honey toast is simple yet delectable, always hits the spot. :)"

"Our server Bobbi was great. She was very attentiveattentive & made some good food suggestions for our children. Sushi chef allowed me to reserve his last Awabe while I was waiting to be seated. Everyone there down to the managers were very pleasant. They even offered iPads for the children. However, we brought our own."

"We had the best server, JT and he was wonderful! The food was delicious as well, I loved the ume salad and the mochi cheese gratin. My children ate up the Honey Toast. My hubby ate the pork with french fries and he states that the fries are similar to Baci burger in las vegas and that's a compliment. Downside is that the udon broth does not have enough flavor."
