TBD

Not all Wagyu is created equal- theirs is superior in texture and softness. Good selection of sake. We will be back!

Fantastic experience at TBD! The food is both innovative and classic at the same time. Great vibes, attentive service and amazing, delicious food. I wish we had a larger group so we could have tried everything on the menu.

TBD is great. Nathan and Anthika were great at service and very courteous. They also had great suggestions on the pacing and what you order and we had a wonderful celebration. The tuna Wellington is really special and do not miss it - very hard to get the medium rare center perfect with the crispy crumbling dough. Fun vibes and music too.

While a lot of people are posting creative signature dishes, I want to take the time to emphasize on fresh sashimi and the service they provided. We love every dishes and enjoy the interaction with our server. They also have sake expert to recommend what’s best for us. We will definitely return!

I went there last night, and the food was incredible 💕

Everything we ate here was amazing. Every dish stood out, but my favorites were the hot karage (the crust was so good and the yuzu sauce that accompanied it really changed the flavor profile) and tuna Wellington. Service was great, everyone was friendly. Will definitely come back.

The space is cozy with a Japandi aesthetic. While the staff were attentive, the experience felt a bit underwhelming compared to the current hype. They only explained some of the dishes to us, and the table service could have been more proactive with clearing crumbs. The best dish out of everything we had was the Karaage, the yuzu hot sauce was the highlight of the meal. However, the rest of the menu didn't quite hit the mark. The Kakuni Mochi was quite heavy (ordering one per person was a mistake), and the Okonomiyaki had a cakey texture. Other items like the offal set, chicken oyster, and chazuke were fine, but not particularly notable. While the Tsukune was presented nicely, the wafer didn’t seem to add much to the flavor profile. We’re glad we tried it, but at this price point, we’ve had more memorable meals elsewhere.

The predicament of one Mr. Bateman was that he was disaffected from life. He only knew how to judge the value of something by decorated words in marketing brochures. A business card was remarkable for being "bone" colored with lettering in a typeface called "Silian Rail". The modern urban food scene seems to suffer from the same malady. Should we judge the quality of the food from its presentation, exotic at times, like the chicken feet still attached to Hot Karaage that "completely blew away" another reviewer. Or should it be judged by its affect on ones taste bud, in which case it was a mere average. A bit too crisp on the outside (which I won't complain about), and chewy and uncooked on the inside (which I will). And then there is the case of Kawa Set, crisp chicken skin trio-where I felt sudden energy drop in my body as I chewed through Ikrua and had to spit out the second bite for making it worse. The only saving grace was the tuna sashimi, which I am not even sure if they got me what I had ordered. Unremarkable.

Really underwhelming. We got some sashimi, karaage, vegetable and assorted chicken yakitori, the tuna wellington, chicken hotpot, and hojicha tiramisu - so a pretty broad selection of their offerings. The sashimi was extremely fresh and delicious. Everything else was off. The presentation of the karaage as a whole chicken thigh with the chicken foot attached was very cool, but it was drenched in a thick sweet chili oil sauce that made it needlessly heavy and seemed more like it belonged at Wing Stop. All the grilled items tasted like butane. The three assorted chicken dishes were unseasoned and bland. The tuna wellington dish was extremely rich but the flavors didn't go together at all. The chicken hotpot was pleasant and welcome after how heavy everything else was, but it was simple fare and uninteresting. Atmosphere-wise, it was stuffy and hot inside the restaurant. We were seated at a table in the back right in front of the only restroom, so we were joined throughout the night by various other guests anxiously awaiting the bathroom to become available. The bill was $320 for two people for dinner, and that was with only one glass of sake. There are no options on the menu if you don't drink alcohol - sparkling water or still water only, which seemed particularly unusual to me. There are so many places in the city you can get a better meal with a better vibe for $300+. Three stars is generous honestly but I understand this is a new venture and they are likely still working everything out.

Incredible food, the hot karaage was the best fried chicken I’ve ever had and completely blew me away, it’s a must order. The Tuna Wellington was amazing and perfectly cooked as well. Had a great time dining here and the owner and servers were all extremely nice and friendly. The white yuzu beer I ordered went well with the food too. Definitely will come again next time I’m in town.

We came here for dinner after hearing that they were doing something new at the original Akikos location. Food was delicious, taste was amazing but the texture of the food was also spot on in every course. Sharing is definitely the way to go on most of the items. For the quality, I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was. I would love to go back again to order some items we couldn’t fit in this time. Wagyu beef is often not a winner for me but something about the salt and accompaniments they used made it stand out as exceptional. It’s a small place, so I recommend a reservation.
