    Todo perfecto como siempre. Únicamente la música estaba un poco más fuerte de lo normal y no se puede platicar a gusto. A final de cuentas es un restaurante, no un antro.

    Una experiencia muy agradable, el omakase estuvo muy rico y la atención muy atenta, precios moderados. Fuimos a festejar el cumpleaños de mi esposo y la pasamos muy bien. Fue un poco difícil encontrar el lugar 😅
