"When I thought the world of dessert ice couldn't get any better, in comes Soricha! The drinks were solid and the bing soo was the best I've ever had. Not to mention, the shop is super cute. I got the mugwort matcha latte 50% sweet and it was perfectly lovely! Tbh, I'm not sure what mugwort is, but I think it made the drink taste more earthy? Sweetness level was on point and the presentation with the separated layers was a simple, but great touch. They have a number of bing soo flavors, but I was super happy to see they had hojicha!! If you're unfamiliar, it's a roasted tea that has depth and is kind of nutty. It was this ginormous bowl with loads of toppings that provided the contrast in texture. The various nuts and cereal stayed crunchy the entire time and I was pleasantly surprised to find a layer on the bottom as well! There's a little mound on the top, and that's bc there's a scoop of vanilla ice cream in there. It was a fun surprise, but tbh overkill imo There's also a schmeer of of a thick brown sugar molasses on the bottom. I got less sweet 70%, but next time I'd do less sweet 50%. By far the fanciest bing soo I've ever had with an equally large pricetag lol And as a side note, if you want fruity bing soo, this isn't the place for you. The only negative is this location is in the back of a random shopping plaza. Despite that, all tables were filled during my Saturday afternoon visit on a scorching summer day. Looking forward to returning"

"I stopped by tonight as a first visit!Not expecting much but it surpassed my expectations by a lot!The restaurant itself is very classy and upscale.The interior has great interest as you peruse around the restaurant.The bathrooms are interesting and prestine as well.It has a nice bar plus a great setting area.I imagine it gets packed on the weekends.Consider reservations during peak times.The entire menu looks amazing.I stuck to the sushi side tonight and I was very impressed.I look forward to trying the entire menu.Service was good, not great but the food came fast after ordering and was well presented.I feel confident that this establishment is well ran and can make most people with great taste happy.If you like quality and are willing to splurge it is worth the visit!The Sake options are 2nd to no place I have ever found!I am excited to go back to explore the entire selection of food and drinks offered here!Enjoy your visit!Tell them Steve highly recommended them!"

"Have eaten here several times. Was surprised that with a reservation we were still sitting at a booth looking into the kitchen. We could have asked to be moved, but we didn't want to. The waiter was very enthusiastic, but failed to fill glasses of water without being asked. My husband's lasagna was a huge brick in the middle of an unadorned plate. A little salad or something green and crispy would have been nice. Not an à la carte fan, especially when it comes to the price of the main course alone. The room was very dark and a bit noisy. I would ask not to sit in this area another time."

"I had been turned off by a few people because I LOVE prime rib. I had just heard great things about the restaurant. Unfortunately the whole experience was disappointing for us. We had reserved at the open table and requested a stand. When we got there, the hostess didn't confirm our reservation when we told her we booked them online and still got us to a table. She was our waitress and was pretty good. The drinks were well made but small for the price. We ordered the prime rib. I got the girls cut and my husband got the kings cut which is about a $ 20 difference in price. When they came out, they were exactly the smaller portion I ordered in length and thickness. We ordered medium rarity (which it came off like), but it had no flavor and was extremely tough. If there's one thing I love almost as much as prime rib, it's ranch dressing. It was chunky and tasted terrible. (and no, it wasn't blue cheese) To get our USD 100 bill at the end of our meal, we were both utterly disappointed with the entire meal. The quality did not reflect the cost."
