Like others say, the service is a bit slow, but very friendly. The quality of the food is very fresh and simply divine!
As a starter, we ordered a Sampler Jewel Box which is up to the chef on what he puts in. Our box consist of a sweet and tangy hamachi fillet, deep fried potato croquette, fried chicken, tomato salad, tofu, and some other things long forgotten. I did not find one thing that I didn't like and it is perfectly portioned for two people.
Our second appetizer is the fatty tuna and avocado. This dish is simply divine and the toro is so soft and decadent with a hint of sweetness. If you can imagine full fat cream sitting on the top of a milk bottle, that's how creamy it is. This appetizer is must try.
Our third appetizer is the stone grilled beef tongue and kobe beef. The kobe beef has the perfect proportion of silky fat and juicy beef. Any fresher beef than this and you'll have a dancing cow in your mouth. I've had beef of all kinds and the meat here is fresh as can be. The tongue is sliced almost paper thin and tasted like lean beef slices without the chewiness. The boyfriend and I took turns cooking our raw meat on the sizzling rock and had so much fun watching the meat curl around the stone. When the stone gets cold, we simply asked them to bring out another hot one.
Lastly, we ordered the uni don to split between two people. Although we've only ordered appetizers up to this point, we're already getting full. The uni don is beautifully presented and tastes as good as it looks. The rice bowl is a perfect harmony of umami and delicate fattiness, the uni is slightly bitter, slightly sweet, and slightly salty. Perfection.
In the end, we were both stuffed to the brim, but just had to get dessert to end our perfect meal. We ordered the matcha creme brulee with a scoop of green tea ice cream. Perhaps the other dishes were so delicate that our palates had not yet adjust to the shockingly sweet dessert, but it was average in our opinion and certainly cannot compare to anything else we've tried.
At the end, the total cost less than $120 for two people. They gave us frozen grapes as dessert and we left the restaurant floating on seafood clouds. Ahh....
