Went for Valentine's Day and it was painless unlike all the other "hip" restaurants which were crowded, overbooked, long waits, and bad service. Our waitress was extremely friendly and tended to us every so often to make sure drinks were filled and that we were enjoying ourselves. It was quite romantic as the restaurant was dim but the tables were a little too close. We could practically join the conversation on the table next to us without having to talk too loud. But it was fine because the food made up for everything.
We ordered about 5 different items on the menu from different sections and they all came out better than we expected. My GF was not accustomed to eating anything raw so we ordered mostly cooked dishes. Their snow crab spring roll appetizer was beyond good. It was fried on the outside and was filled with crab meat and some asparagus with avocado sauce. I ordered some tuna and salmon sashimi which tasted like it came right out of the sea. One of the freshest seafood anyone can find. We also ordered their cooked scallop which was also very fresh. It came with about 6-7 pieces and was grilled lightly. It came with mushrooms, spinach, and small pieces of papaya that gave it a hint of sweetness. It was very soft and had a cream like sauce that complimented it very well. We ordered some shrimp tempura roll and a roll called KJ-Rock which was packed with lobster tail with a sesame sauce on top. The lobster I thought was a little over cooked and was a little dry so it was not as flavorful but was delicious none the less. They really do not cheap out on the seafood as every dish we had with seafood was packed and plentiful. My GF and I was very full after finishing all of the dishes. The price for all that ($100) was very reasonable and is well worth it. I will definitely be going back soon to try their other dishes.
Pros: Fresh seafood, flavorful dishes, a little twist to traditional Japanese food.
Cons: Tables are a little too close.
