I went there last night with a couple of friends and everything was fine until I had the takowasabi. It tasted like pure alcohol with a hint of wasabi. I let the waitress know and she said she would take it back and she later came back to say that she would take the takowasabi off the bill but that "that's how it's supposed to taste like so maybe you just don't like the taste". If that's how the speak to customers that they didn't even cook FYI, it comes prepackaged, then I don't want to go back to that place. In the end the takowasabi was never taken off the bill and if takowasabi is supposed to taste like rubbing alcohol instead of wasabi then I guess 1. every restaurant out there is making it wrong and 2. The name takowasabi is pretty inaccurate.
Anyway, you can try this restaurant but remember that if the food is not up to par don't you dare speak a word of it to them!

And don't forget the cocktails! Our work team had an absolutely a world-class experience with Albert, our mixologist.

Or server was excellent. We ordered two appetizers and ramens. The age dashi tofu was a little expensive for 9.00 with only two pieces of tofu but the taste was excellent. The Ramen was excellent as usual. Price for the sashimi and sushi is expensive even though I have come here before and ordered a lot of their sashimi and sushi menu for my husband's birthday. Overall we enjoyed our dinner, service was amazing, the atmosphere is great, but pricing for sushi and sashimi is more expensive.
