★★★★☆ 4.0 Loi Truong · Feb 2026

The restaurant had a great vibe, with cool decor and 90's R&B/hip hop tunes playing in the background. The service was quick, friendly, and professional—really top-notch. As for the food, it was good, but not quite my style. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted fine, though I found some dishes a bit too heavy on the cheese. If you're a fan of cheese, this place is perfect for you. Overall, it’s one I can now tick off my list.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Florence · Dec 2025

Fun and tasty. This Japanese-Italian fusion spot offers a bunch of sharable small and large plates. I came here with hubs and we ordered way too much, but the standouts were the Sunomono Cucumber Insalata (super tasty) and the Chicken Katsu Bao with teriyaki, pesto, and citrus. The only miss for me was the Calamari Fritti. While the squid was perfectly cooked, it wasn't crispy on the outside and the sauce kind of bullied the calamari. For mains, my Pork Chop Scallopini was massive, crispy, and good with a cheesy tonkatsu-style sauce. Hubs had the Tonkatsu Porchetta Ramen and loved it so much, he completely annihilated the bowl. My portion was so big, I took 2/3 of it home. We were too full for dessert but I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. NOTES/TIPS: **BYOB **Excellent

★★★★★ 5.0 Shakira Davis · Jan 2026

Came here with my husband and son.. Food here is definitely 10000000/10…. Every single thing I got was so flavorful and tasty. Along with the food everyone was very attentive, polite, very professional. Our food came out in a short period of time. Everything was hot and fresh. I would come back and reorder every single thing we got. To make things even better the playlist was 10/10, very good music to set the tone. Thank you to our server Camila, you were awesome. And every other staff member that attended to our table during our stay. We will absolutely be back!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mohammed Alhaj · Nov 2025

My fiancée and I were really looking forward to trying this place, but honestly it was a big letdown. The atmosphere is nice and the service was great, no complaints there. Everyone was friendly and the space itself feels fine. The issue was the food. The calamari was the only thing we genuinely enjoyed. The chicken katsu bao bun was dry and the bun itself wasn’t soft or fluffy the way a bao should be. The shrimp katsu bun was slightly better, but still off. Our main entrée was the real disappointment: a rigatoni dish that came out room temperature, with cheese that wasn’t melted and pasta that wasn’t fully cooked. The shrimp was placed on the side and was average at best. Most of the menu options had either pork or alcohol in them, which left us with very limited choices. For a restaura

★★★★★ 5.0 TBoNe89 · Feb 2026

Funny how hard it is to get a reservation here because although the food was very good and the service was A+, it was not crazy amazing! That being said, food was unique and well prepared. Service was very very good with great recommendations and attentive return table visits. For me it was a tad loud but I get the hip vibe they are going for so it was all good.
