    Very sad that this restaurant is closing. It offers some of the best sushi and Asian food in the city.

    Food was fine - not as great as I remembered. Service was pretty terrible for an expensive restaurant. Service was slow, they brought me the wrong order, and we sat waiting for our check to be picked up for about 15 minutes - and it was not busy.

    Food was good ; more of a tapas style but we all ordered about 8 options altogether. Ambiance was nice , drinks were okay, all in all I would come back and try the rooftop if weather permits.

    Had a fantastic time with my large party! We did the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The chef even accommodated to bring out more vegetarian options for the one vegetarian. Great Food! Friendly staff!

    The kuidaore experience is awesome. Unlimited good food and chef is very flexible. We loved the sushi and they kept bringing us different varieties of sushi. Definitely need to speak up or else they will bring the dessert course and try to shove you out. Don’t blame them as it doesn’t make sense to keep bringing food if people are full. If you aren’t full, then feel free to keep requesting what you like. It’s part of the experience !
