​

We appreciate your understanding and support.
Party size
We welcome parties of up to 4 guests.
Why we limit to 4 guests per party
To ensure a serene environment where each guest feels personally engaged and part of the experience at our 8-seat Japanese Chef's Table, we limit reservations to a maximum of 4 guests. Larger groups often increase conversation levels and volume, which can affect the experience for others.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We look forward to crafting an unforgettable evening for you.
Dietary Preferences & Allergies
With only Chef Yama and Angela behind every plate, and a carefully crafted, complex menu, we are extremely limited in accommodating dietary modifications.
Kindly inform us of any allergies at the time of booking. Simple adjustments (eg, mild shellfish or nut intolerance) may be possible if noted well in advance. However, we are unable to accommodate complex dietary requirements.
Please note: we cannot offer fully vegetarian or vegan menus, as seafood is integral to our cuisine.
Thank you for your understanding.
