The chef’s creativity shines through, everything was so good. I’d consider this place a true fusion restaurant. You can call to make a reservation, there’s an outdoor patio with ample heat lamps. It’s better to come here when you’re not in a rush, the service is a bit slower, though attentive, so I’d allow 1.5-2 hrs for dinner. The clams in sake were cooked perfectly, the sake ‘broth’ was really good, lots of green onion. The mochi and spicy cod roe naan was amazing, I loved it. I had the crab butter pasta, which was excellent. My daughter had the ramen carbonara and this dish was so good, so creative, and well done, with prosciutto and a soft boiled egg. Husband had the creamy chicken ramen which was good, an interesting flavor similar to a creamy cioppino. the desserts were also great, esp the Catarana, which was described as a frozen creme brûlée, and I loved it. We also had the homemade rum raisin ice cream and the hoji cha ice cream. The hoji tea flavor was really good. I think the rum raisin one had too many raisins, but still good. We drove 40 minutes to check this place out and we can’t wait to come back.

We visited Friday evening with my friend. Food, drink are good however we are very disappointed with one of the hall staff lady. She kept telling us going away even though there are many open tables. The worst was that our bill was about $58 and gave her $80 with expecting getting change. However she took all the money by herself and never came back. We claimed it and she look reluctantly gave us back the change. Atmosphere was very good so very disappointed with the lady

We recently visited Beaux. Our first acquaintance with this restaurant was almost 25 years ago. I am not sure if there had been any changes in its management, but food felt consistent and familiar from a long while back.I enjoyed my visit here, even during Covid in a tent, sitting in a parking lot. Thank you!

This bistro represents Tokyo in so many ways. If you have a minute Japan this is a portal and insight into the food culture, quality and creativity! In my opinion there whiskey selection of fun Japanese molds and second to none.

Service was very slow since the moment we walked in. From getting someone’s attention to be seated, to putting in our orders and the speed of food served.I got a glass of Toki whiskey on the rocks. Not only it already tasted washed out when it got to the table but also appeared to be a quite small pour ~ I’m not convinced there’s even a shot in it.We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees. The appetizer came out 1 by 1 with about 10 minutes space in between. The entrees took another 20 minutes to come after we finished the last appetizer. Food was okay. Severs are nice but I think they are understaffed and they are spread really thin.

Best place for Japanese whiskey and sautéed uni with mushrooms! The owner is wonderful and welcoming and the vibe is unique. Love the food, atmosphere, and most definitely the yamazaki whiskey sampler! Its a must try!

Came here for my dads birthday. Id describe it as a Japanese Italian fusion. Inside was a little dark and rustic. Service was quick. Our waitress was very informative in helping us order. Heres my breakdown of the food:Squid ink spaghetti: good flavor, a little salty. Makes your mouth black.Crab butter spaghetti: tastes like what its called. Very good.Clam spaghetti: good, but tastes better with the crab butter sauce.Beef filet mignon with garlic soy sauce: delicious! Meat was cooked perfectly. Easy to bite. The sauce was a great compliment.Seafood risotto: good to share as an appetizer.

Great Japanese bistro. Nice whisky selection, a nice variety of smaller plates, including uni scrambled eggs. Its clean, modern, and even though its Japanese western style instead of the more Japanese traditional izakaya style, its a wonderful alternative to the rushed and gimmicky and really hit or miss quality of some of the other Japanese izakaya style restaurants in that same mall.Limited seating, and it fills up quickly.

Ordered vongole and peperoncino pasta. Both are cooked very well. Pasta is dente and the sauces are very flavorful. This is not the creamy pasta served at American restaurants. It’s Japanese, or very close to the the pastas I ate in Italy.
