Fantastic date night dinner at Pabu. The food was exquisite. Excellent selection of sushi options including some of my favorites like kanpachi and tai that are not always easy to find. Everything was super fresh! The tuna carpaccio and grilled chicken thighs were phenomenal! Cocktails were creative and paired really well with the delicate flavors in the meal. Our server was really friendly with many great recommendations. It was a lively vibe but good energy. Highly recommend!

One of the most amazing meals I’ve had in a while. And our chef was amazing - she explained each course and the cooking process. I loved every minute of it.

We had an amazing experience at Sushi Sato. Every dish was excellent. The eggplant and crab salad were standouts for us. Every piece of fish was so fresh and tasty. Service was impeccable and staff was so friendly. We can’t wait to come back.

We booked Dragon Horse’s private room for a company dinner with 18 people, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. Booking the large private room was very easy—the private event coordinator was responsive and great to communicate with. We ordered a lot of sushi rolls and nigiri, and everything was high quality and noticeably fresh. The veggie tempura and chicken karaage were also perfectly crispy, and you could tell the oil was fresh. The private room also includes free karaoke, which was such a fun bonus. My coworkers and I had a great time singing a few songs together after dinner. Dragon Horse is an excellent choice for larger groups. We will definitely be back!
