Solid unagi set. Can get extra or less rice if needed. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the bone when we had dinner.

We had the set dinner which included 6 courses, the service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves eel.

One of the best unagi I tasted in long time.
I recommend take the dinner course.

Friendly service and not so pricy.

Definitely coming back soon
