Is this place overpriced? Absolutely
Are there pretentious attendees? Absolutely
Do you need a reservation? Absolutely
Will you see a sugar daddy and his sugar baby on a "date"? Absolutely
But... Are the fried chicken ($29), spicy tuna on crispy rice ($35) and ginger bread pudding ($?) must-haves? Absolutely
The quality of food is on point, good (not great) service and a good selection if different New Japanese foods.
