The place was nasty, the waitress only interested in getting us to leave, and the chef ok. Most Japanese places will add a tip automatically if you have a party of a certain size, this place adds a 17% gratuity for parties of 1 or more.

Our food...oh my goodness...fresh! The vegetables completely caught me off guard-and I'm not a huge vegetable person. My almighty John was side-swipped by the 🍜...the broth filed him up and he thoroughly enjoyed it. It smelled heavenly. The plum wine? Your girl had to have two glasses of it, lol! The service, the atmosphere, the food...I honestly have not...
