Although there are a couple things that I might suggest this restaurant prepared differently, I…read morewon't give any less than a 5/5. The excellent service and care that Scout and Pavel presented was far superior to any restaurant or business I've been to in years. I love the style of the restaurant. It's very well kept, very chic yet staying with the Japanese theme, which could very well be considered high-end. Their prices do not reflect what I would expect from a restaurant of this status. I ordered a noodle soup that did not appeal to me at all. I realized that I had made an error. I have Normally ordered sushi and tempura at Japanese restaurants but for dinner this evening, I decided to vary from that and try a noodle soup. It was too strong for me as far as fish flavor and I could not interest my appetite. I didn't ask the waitress to trade it out, but she was kind enough to request that the manager grant a substitution. That was awarded and I ordered Katsu. There are not many restaurants where the employees would even notice a problem or care to reach a solution but I found this such a cherished act and without a doubt deserving of high reward. I would like to suggest that perhaps a ginger sesame dressing could possibly be more tantalizing on the cabbage slaw. The dressing reminded me of a little bit of French and a little bit of plain mayo, The Katsu sauce was just a bit overwhelming with molasses taste. Unless this is how it should be, I think that the sauce that you put on the 'perfectly prepared botan rice' might be better with the Katsu. I believe this sauce was a restaurant made teriyaki and presented well with the rice. Other than that, the presentation as well as the food preparation reaches a 'high 5" without hesitation. I sincerely wish more restaurants, including businesses, had staff this attentive. It's not something that you can hire. It is a virtue of personality and it's rarely seen anymore. lastly, I must mention the edamame's. I have ordered them in every Japanese restaurant I've been to. My sister ordered a side also. They were eight dollars each, but we could've easily split the dish. I have definitely paid as much for very small servings of the edamame. I feel like I had that for dinner and I was really getting full. They gave adequate servings on everything. I don't think anyone would walk away hungry with any fault of the restaurant. Thank you as we really enjoyed our visit and our dinner and I'm sure we'll be back again.

First off, the staff and owners are wonderful people, friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Walking in today, we couldn't believe we hadn't checked this place out before, especially since they've been open for nearly a year. The restaurant looks great: clean, inviting, and with a cozy fireplace that's a perfect touch on a cold Michigan winter afternoon. Having traveled in Asia and Thailand, we were excited the moment we smelled the food, it instantly brought back memories! When our dishes arrived, they looked and smelled amazing. Everything was clearly fresh and tasted phenomenal, transporting us right back to our travels in Thailand. On top of the superb, flavorful dishes, the team is impressively conscious and knowledgeable about allergies, especially gluten-free options. As someone managing Colitis and Celiac, their real understanding means I can enjoy a great meal without the worry of getting sick. Thank you for bringing this delicious experience to TC! We'll absolutely be back soon.
