I'm sad this place is getting such bad reviews, because I LOVED my experience here.
The restaurant is very modern with a super high ceiling so it feels very open. I loved the feel but my mom preferred a more intimate setting such as the vibe at Sage.
I took my mom here and we ordered: toro tartare, chicken karaage, sweet shrimp and uni roll, and a wagyu garlic fried rice. (my mom and I can put it away!but then again the portions here are not big at all)
everything wass really awesome and fresh! There wasn't any sauces that covered up any of the ingredients so you can really taste each thing and you know that there is quality in their stuff.
The tartare was pricey($68) but the amount of caviar we got on it made it more than worth it.
The chicken was super juicy, and the crispy skin was as good as pork rinds. Add a spritz of lemon and I was good to go. No mayo needed!
The sweet shrimp and uni roll was something I've never seen before but I love both ingredients, and this roll did not disappoint, because their uni was that perfect balance of briney and sweet.
Lastly the fried rice was muy bueno. The rice was fluffy and loose and most importantly not greasy! & The beef? Super tender! My mom wanted less green onions in it but I didn't mind one bit. IMO garlic/onion makes everything awesome!
So far so good! Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu with a emptier belly!
(Yes this place is $$$$$$ but I would SO spend my hard earned money here)
