I went this past Saturday with a party of 6 who all decided on the $120 omakase. My friend had a cracked glass and notified the waiter who gave us a complimentary bottle of Fiji water; a nice gesture. Every dish was absolutely amazing, but the toro tartare, kobe beef, and lobster epice was beyond amazing. Other reviews say the lobster is overpowered by the spice, but I thought it worked perfectly. I'm not too large a fan of sashimi so the second to last didn't wow me as much as it did the others. We also got the buribop which was on par with everything else. They cook the yellowtail right in front of you. It came out to 150 a person, not including drinks. Only thing that could have made it better was if Morimoto was there himself. It seems he's around before and after prime dining times.

Pros: Food, Service

Cons: , expensive, a bit loud
