For a $1,000 dinner set, we expected a memorable culinary experience, but most of the dishes were overly salted, with an overwhelming fishy taste in many of them. The beef was prepared without any particularly special technique, and even the broth suffered from excessive saltiness. The interior was surprisingly plain, lacking the warmth or elegance you’d hope for in a fine dining setting. It felt almost too minimalist, missing that special touch that makes a meal feel like an experience rather than just dinner. The only truly exceptional aspects were the service and the waitstaff, who were attentive and professional throughout the evening. We also enjoyed the tea selection it was unique and thoughtfully curated, with some incredible flavors that stood out far more than the actual dishes. Overall, while the service was top tier, the food and ambiance did not justify the price. We expected much more from a restaurant of this reputation.

The service was excellent, with very attentive staff and did a good job explaining all the dishes. The atmosphere/ambiance is very minimalist, but it did not detract from the overall experience, as there were many small touches from the silverware to the small garden outside that made up for it.
