Was Ryan R at Dobutsu a mag?
This place is great! The ambience is amazing and so was the service! I sat at the bar and ordered the Daily Bao, which was a crab rangoon bao and it was such a great combination of flavors. Also ordered the pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings which were great as well and a healthy portion! Got a side of pork belly as well (which isn't on the menu, but was $6 and totally worth it), and it was so tender and flavorful! Or... View all feedback.

I haven't had a dinner like this in a long time. It featured one of the best steaks I've ever had, along with a very juicy lobster tail. The waitstaff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was modern and tasteful. I will definitely return.

My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The dumplings came with an incredible dipping sauce. Our server was excellent as well. The hamachi was delicious, and the savory ramen bowls completed the meal perfectly. Overall, dinner was fantastic!
