Been here for pet event. They allow to let pet inside the restaurants as well. But not sure if it hasn’t had any pet event they will allow pet to go inside the restaurant or not. Food was good. Service was acceptable.

If I end up in a semi-fancy store like this, it's almost always cause I had seen someone enjoying their meal from the windowsill and got attracted to the food from there. This platter was huge and filled with absolutely everything imaginable on it. Pork dumplings, sashimi, a salad, rice, some sushi, you name it, the bento box promised to deliver. The rest of the menu too held delicious Japanese food - mainly sushis. Also got a ice lemonade with the food which was refreshing and sweet. I would definitely come back if I end up in the area. Absolutely loved everything here. Oh and note that this establishment is completely cashless.
