Profile
This is the most tasteful of the big new Japanese dining palaces that began their assault on the city a couple of years ago. The ceiling looks like the hull of an upturned samurai ship, and the bar is as long as a city block. You'd expect chef Tadashi Ono's cooking to be elaborate and showy, but in fact it's solid, sensible, and faithfully Japanese.
Recommended DishesSirloin steak, $28

Food was amazing (I recommend spicy tuna rolls, tuna tartare, and the scallops), also decoration and ambiance are pretty cool. Very Japanese experience. Enjoy the sake list!

The cost pp listed above for dinner at Matsuri for Valentines Day dinner is listed incorrectly - the correct cost is $150 for 2x for a 7-course tasting menu which includes a Valentine Specialty Cocktail! Awesome menu/price! In addition, the prix fixe is optional- they also offer their regular a la carte menu!
