- Timothy KempfApril 28, 2017The food is good, the drinks are good, but it's way too expensive for a restaurant with the acoustics of a high school cafeteria.
Gordon WrightJune 9, 2015Not overly impressed. There are better Japanese spots on SF that are more authentic and less about attracting tourists.
mediocre sushi, but pretty and DELISH cocktails from Carlo!
