The good: excellent, attentive service— our tea cups were never empty. The private room felt special, and the art was quirky and added to the unique atmosphere. Portion sizes were generous: We didn’t finish several of the later courses and still left feeling full. Finally, the first couple of dishes were lovely: cold abalone salad, sashimi, and a mixed set with some vegetables, a bite of taro, a square of pistachio cream, and some octopus

However, we didn’t enjoy the next few dishes: shark fin soup, sea cucumber, and some others. Some were a bit too salty, and generally the portion sizes were too big. Finally, the dessert was a hunk of melon with persimmon sauce. The meal lost the refinery of the first few courses.

Went there during a workday lunch, was late but the staff was very polite. We were seated in a private room, and the food tasted actually better than the pictures I've seen elsewhere.

It was such a lovely and cozy place to have lunch.
