All amazing! Timing and tempo could have been better. My meal came out around 5-10 minutes after my dates meal. His was cold by the time mine came. We were done with our meals for quite a while before the server checked on us about dessert. We were told we only had 3 minutes to order dessert which was a bit off putting considering we had been ready to order at least 15 minutes prior. We got our dessert shortly before 10, and at 10:02 the house lights came on glaringly bright - aka time to get out. We hadn't even gotten our check yet. Overall the back end of the night felt rushed which put a damper on the experience. I would come back maybe during social hour or earlier in the day.

I specifically requested my most favorite server, Yoshi as our waiter, but sadly they couldn't make that happen because he was working the outside dining area. He still managed to swing by and check on us a few times, and that was enough to make the night better. Yoshi is just THAT guy. He makes dining here ridiculously fun and somehow makes an already great experience even better. The music and drinks were on point. The Puff Puff Pass was the cocktail winner of the night, followed by some really good whiskey. Then came the food, and damn... Kemuri does not mess around. We shared everything and ordered in waves, starting with Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio, Charred Edamame and Taiyaki Cornbread. Next up was the Chili Cheese Takoyaki, Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and Hot Pocketz. Every single thing was delicious, and flavorful. Somehow we still found room for the delicious banana pudding. Great food, great drinks, great friends and Yoshi popping in to keep the party going. Pretty hard to beat a night like that. Kemuri Tatsu Ya continues to be our favorite!

Other than that it's pretty much self service unless you're there for drinks as well. I will say the Asian aspect of the fusion leaves a little to be desired, as in a majority of the dishes just contain some sort of ponzu or yuzu marinade, not that it's a bad thing just wanted more. The miso mustard flavor on the potatoes is a really good combination and was hoping for more flavor fusion in that realm. But as a smokehouse it is a really solid choice. Overall, a really good place to dine!

Service - Great and attentive, even had a lady that worked there - come check on you; that is not your waitress. Food - Great presentations in general, delicious while mindful of the allergies and/or dietary restricted. In addition, creative yet, staying aligned to the Chinese authenticity! Prices - Def not on the faint wallets as you can tell it is tailored more to the visitors/DT crowds. Overall, I would give it a 4 stars - What could tailor it to a 5 start experience is it offered Opera singing that is true/close to what the vibe depicts (A Chinese opera singer). Perhaps play some chinese opera song or even the infamouse Teresa Teng. Also, provide your wonderful tin cup as a souvenir like a desert as a complimentry gift to show the Chinese hospitatlity. A++++

This place has over 500 reviews and sitting at an overall consensus of four stars. Since I knew I…read morewas coming here the day before, I decided to read through many of the reviews and pick out the highlights. One common comment is that the portions are small and the prices you pay are high for what you get. The brisket fried rice and their unusual take on chicken and waffles are quite popular. As for parking, they do have a lot out back that is fairly spacious and a parking garage making it one of the easier places to park at downtown. Once you pull in to the lot, just scan the QR code inside the restaurant for two free hours of parking and you will need your license plate number (you'll get a text when your time is running out). 2/3 of the interior is dedicated towards two and four tops and a long bar that you can also sit at. The other third is for groups of 10-25 which can be reserved in advance. They have a great bar along with four craft beer taps and a good selection of wines. I came here with a group of 10 so we got our food served family style. We started with hot/sour soup, which had lots of fungi, but was salty and the fried cream cheese rangoons tasted like they had been cooked earlier in the day. The bowl of dumplings that followed fared better. General Tso's chicken was good and crunchy and the beef and broccoli was finely cut making it kinda mushy, but decent. The best dish was the grilled shrimp bowl at the end. Some of the dishes came with a side of sauce, but I really could've used some soy sauce and siracha on the table. Plenty of informative photos included.

Service isn't the fastest, but our waitress was pleasant and friendly, and had good suggestions about the menu.

Roti Canai - Star of the evening. Such a hit for my partner and I. The roti was perfectly flaky and the dipping sauce was fabulous. 2.

Unique preparation of steamed hamachi served in banana leaves. An absolute must try for seafood lovers. 4.
