"Staff and team were super friendly. We started out sitting outdoors for the sunset, they have AC outdoors so it’s nice and cool. We continued to eat the Teppanyaki Set, the chef was entertaining and very skill-full. The food was good but not great, especially at that price point. Overall still a delightful experience food presentation on point!"

"I don’t write reviews but some parts of my experience at this restaurant absolutely sucked! My family reserved a table 2 weeks prior to celebrate my parents’ anniversary, and the table we were supposed to sit at was given away to some girls, although we had booked earlier, they gave the table away because the girls allegedly paid more. Why am i getting disappointed over a table you ask? Because the table we had booked was a special table, where we got to watch the chefs cook. The staff were super welcoming and polite, but whoever managed the seating, consider yourself as an enemy of mine. I enjoyed the food. Hats off to the chef we had today, he was engaging and fun. I would’ve given 5 stars if it weren’t for what happened at the start. *special mentions - Jesi, Koman and everyone else on the team Thank you for serving us! :) - Zara"

"Fantastic and delicious cuisine, expert teppanyaki cook. The sashimi choice of tuna, salmon and skipjack is very fresh. A5 Wagyu cooked to medium rare perfection by teppanyaki chef. The lobster was fresh and had buttery taste. Very friendly and very helpful wait staff. Will definitely come again."

"Great Japanese dining, very good food and very nice ambience. Its Japanese style kitchen and bar area are great. The design and the setting of the restaurant are the same as what we can see mostly in Japan. The food is truly a fine dining quality. It has a lot of alcohol selections, from beer, spirits, wine, and sake. Anyways, this hotel has a lot to offer and to explore."

"This restaurant probably the only decent Japanese restaurant here. We enjoyed our “tempura donburi” or fried shrimp on a bowl of rice, and “tonkatsu donburi” or fried battered pork on a bowl of rice. Quite good and delicious. The fried chicken “karaage” and “sushi” also not bad."
