Purchased a pickup meal at 1:00 pm. Parking was very crowded because they now have valet in half the lot -- not great. Great pick up for garlic noodles and shrimp and caesar salad. Would have liked to know what the vegetable dish was -- not a fan of the carrots. Would be nice to know what the veggies are. Also asked the person at the desk if they still had the scewers and he said "yes" but they are not on the menu. Like the chicken scewers and have ordered them to go but not on the menu now.

This place is absolutely amazing. Not cheap but worth every penny. I tried the lamb chops. They were delicious!!! My guest was a vegetarian and was very pleased with their food choices.
Service was phenomenal.

Oops!…We Tried It Again.
What happened to this once great restaurant?
After being disappointed the last several times we were here, my Wife and I decided to take a break for a while. We decided to give it one last try.
It’s hard to believe the food is even worst than before.
If you plan on ordering the WAGYU DRUNKEN NOODLES, be prepared to be disappointed. If you’re wondering where the Wagyu Beef is, it’s the ground up looking substance mixed in with the rest of the dish. They call it “diced Wagyu” , but if it were diced , the Wagyu would remain in cubes or chunks of meat, allowing you to experience its superior quality. How they serve it is more like mush.
We also ordered the GRILLED OCTOPUS AND PAPAYA SALAD. The Octopus should have come out grilled and nicely charred, however what we were served was not and was soggy from being unfrozen with a light coat of uncooked batter.
My wife also ordered the HEAVENLY PEAR MARTINI. We used to really enjoy this drink. Unfortunately, they eliminated all of the good ingredients needed to make this the way they used to. Now it just tastes like a bitter, tart lemon drop. Good by pear.
We do not recognize this restaurant anymore and we won’t be coming back again any time soon.

This is a great Asian fusion at the restaurant it has something for everyone. We came here with a party of four on a Sunday night, easily got a table not a problem. I'm guessing this place gets pretty packed on the weekend though. For appetizers we had Tombo Tuna Tacos and Shrimp & Lobster Dumplings. Both were very delicious and presentation was. Our entrees were Crispy Orange Peel Chicken, Misoyaki Butterfish, Grilled Prawn Garlic Noodles, Kung Pao Eggplant. And by far the eggplant was the winner for us all. Interestingly, they don't give you chopsticks, which is kind of strange since it is a a Asian fusion restaurant, but apparently nobody cares. 😆 I would come back here but only for a special occasion.
