What
a
fabulous
experience!
My
husband
took
me
to
Nisei
for
a
big
birthday
(ending
in
a
"0")
and
we
were
delighted
by
the
whole
evening.
The
staff--all
of
them--make
a
special
effort
to
make
you
feel
welcome
and
like
an
honored
guest.
The
food
is
exquisite.
Chef
David
and
his
team
create
unique
dishes
that
are
beautiful
to
behold
and
so
tasty.
You
want
to
take
your
time
and
savor
every
bit.
I
was
especially
impressed
by
a
cold
noodle
dish
they
made
with
a
cucumber
dashi.
Who
does
that!?
It
was
AMAZING!!
And
the
salmon--crispy
skin
and
yet
the
fish
was
so
moist
and
delicious,
presented
with
a
tempura
"branch"
of
burdock
and
"cherry
blossoms"
carved
from
umeboshi.
I
was
also
extremely
impressed
by
how
the
whole
team
works
together
seamlessly--no
matter
what
the
task--to
make
sure
the
patrons
have
a
first-rate
experience.
There
was
a
larger
party
across
the
room
from
us.
When
it
came
time
to
serve
a
course,
chefs
from
the
kitchen
joined
the
wait
staff
to
present
the
dishes
so
that
everyone
had
their
plate
laid
down
at
the
same
time.
If
you
had
a
question,
anyone,
including
the
general
manager
(and
sommelier)
gladly
would
step
in
to
answer
it.
There
was
such
a
joy
in
everyone's
professionalism
and
teamwork.
It
made
me
very
happy
to
be
there
to
witness
and
be
a
part
of
it
all.
It
was
such
a
joyful,
wonderful
experience
that
we
came
back
this
month
for
Nisei's
one-year
anniversary
(and
nominally
my
husband's
birthday,
which
did
not
end
in
a
"0"),
which
was
no
small
thing
for
us.
We
had
only
ever
spent
this
much
money
at
a
restaurant
once
before
and
here
we
eagerly
made
a
second
reservation
within
a
month's
time
just
because
we
loved
the
food,
the
people,
and
the
experience
so
much.
