    Food was excellent but pricy. Service was slow and food came out piecemeal. I assume whatever was ready came out first. Ordered sushi and fried rice and wanted the rice with the sushi but it came out dead last as we were already full.

    We loved the food and the service. Both were excellent. This place brings out food when it’s ready and that’s a good thing. But, we had an issue with one of our dishes not arriving with the meal. Fried rice. We weren’t feeling eating a bowl of fried rice by itself at the end of the meal. Our excellent server apologized and cancelled it but it was a tad disappointing. Also, the noise level was waaaaay too loud. We don’t mind an active lively place but we sat next to each other and could not hear each other talking without raising our voices. They need to improve the acoustics.
