Fodor's Review:

The futuristic atmosphere of this restaurant (all-white tables and chairs and partially enclosed booths -- or pods -- whose lighting changes color with the touch of a button) is a fitting setting for food with strong Asian overtones that ultimately defies precise description. The sushi conveyor is an entertaining touch. Dim sum, stir fry, and crab pad thai share the menu with entrées such as crispy scallion chicken, wasabi-crusted filet mignon, and the amusingly named "Lobzilla," a 3-pound lobster served with risotto and soba noodle salad. There's an extensive sake bar -- you can get it warm or cold. Reservations are essential on the weekend. Reservations are recommended.

Great Service

Posted by Debbie from VA on 9/26/06

Went to dinner here and the GM took our order and helped us decide what to order. He took no notes and remembered everything perfectly. We are adventuresome and his recommendations were great. Went back for lunch a few days later. He saw us and came over and asked how we liked our food the first night..again he remembered everything we ordered. We all shared the food and all was great. Service was great. Definitely going back and the general manager here is sharp. He made the dining experience exceptional.
