Shoutout to the amazing server who helped us out! My friends were visiting from Japan, and we stopped by right as they were closing because we were hoping to get one of the FIFA Five Borough World Cups cups. Even though they were closing, they still let us come in and grab them. It was such a kind gesture and really made my friends' trip a little more special. We'll definitely be back soon when they're open. Thanks again!
This is our family’s go to spot, we love the vibe, everyone who works there is awesome. I’ve had nearly everything on the menu and nothing disappoints. There is almost a limitless menu, whatever you’re feeling, you can get it, but the most important is the atmosphere. You can sit for hours and just enjoy the ambiance. We LOVE hi life.
Definitely wasn’t expecting to see soy sauce on the table from the bar’s street appearance - the sushi wasn’t bad, but it felt a bit overpriced for the quality and the amount ($33pp after tip for 1.5 rolls and a glass of wine each). It is a lively place though and nice outdoor seating.
