A fine dining experience with amazing food and service, without the fine dining pressure. Akira in particular is extremely friendly and helped make my first experience with Kobe beef a wonderful one. Akira was helpful in picking a sake to accompany my meal. The entire process of eating here was a wonderful one as a person that only speaks English. I was able to view the menu and make a reservation on their website with excellent translation services, and then once I arrived the menu had English and the staff gave a thorough explanation of it. We ordered a sampling including a steak - the flank steak stole the show for me while the Kobe Beef steak sushi was my dining partner’s favorite and both were among the best I’ve had. The dining experience was relaxed and felt no rush whatsoever. It made for a great way to focus on the taste of the beef. I really appreciate that we were presented with the certification for the Kobe beef, it made for a great touch. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone looking to try Kobe beef for the first time. Akira and the rest of the staff will guide you well.
