This foos has a very good but kinda cheap (From my kids )

TWO THINGS: Don't ever come and tell someone how much to tip you when there's no mandatory tip, but only suggestions like every other bill in this country. Especially when services are mediocre at best. Secondly, don't ever add suggested tips on the total bill. It is always before taxes. This is the FIRST ever restaurant I've been to in my life that comes back and asks for more tip, and the first one I've noticed that add their suggested tip box on the total after tax. Life is hard as it is already, don't scam people. I was certainly surprised to say the least by that. Who on earth does that? WOW.

Cool space, nice menu. The portions in the pictures on the menu are shown somewhat larger than the portions that come out from the kitchen. Otherwise, flavors were generally nice, service was friendly, and the ambiance was nice. As a side note, the menu is unfortunately not vegan friendly, so avoid bringing vegan friends here.

ordered good amount of food, one specific item we ordered was salmon clay rice pot with salmon roe. While ordering the waiter informed us that the dish was meant for four people so we adjusted what we ordered expecting the dish to be a lot. When the dish came out, the waiter brought out an big clay pot, mixed around the rice, and gave us two small rice bowls worth. Not sure if there was supposed to be more to the dish, but it was definitely not meant for four people, barely one, but was charged the full price of the dish. So either, the waiter didn't know what he was talking about or they just didn't give us all the food.

They forced me to tip $10 and tax was $6. Stupid.

Parking: There is a nearby parking lot for $3/hour (maximum of 3 hours). There is street/metered parking (difficult to find). We discovered this place after deciding not to wait on the waitlist for Szechuan Mountain House. Service: Service was good. We were greeted and seated immediately. Atmosphere: I really liked the decor/ambiance. Really clean/modern look. Food: The portion sizes were rather small and on the more expensive end. We ordered various dishes and the presentation of the food was great. Abalone - This was good. Had a citrus taste to it. The price of this was discounted when we went (not sure if this will remain at a discounted price for future visits) Dragon Maki - Tasted good but nothing above and beyond. Comparable to any other sushi restaurant. Agedashi Tofu - This was good. Again, nothing above and beyond. Can get this anywhere and will be comparable. Takoyaki - Underwhelming. The bottom of the ball appeared to be flat. Tori Karaage - Underwhelming. Can get fried chicken anywhere. Lava Stone A5 Wagyu - The meat was tender but was tasteless. Portion size was really small and definitely not worth the $36. Better off getting 2-3 more rolls instead of this. Oyako Don - Underwhelming. Nothing stood out and you wont be missing out if you go anywhere else that offers this. Seafood Yaki Udon - This was good. The sauce was good. It wasnt too oily. Definitely above average for udon. Ice Cream - Complementary at the end. This was also good. Only had the options of matcha or vanilla. Verdict: I would recommend coming here to try it out however this is definitely not the spot to go to if you are looking for dinner/something to fill you up. Place is more like a spot for lunch.

Great Japanese restaurant. One of the best in the city.
