I brought my fiance to Hokusai the night I proposed to her. For all of you who have planned proposals, you can relate to the commotion and anxiety. We were set to see a concert following dinner, so time was of the essence. I spoke with Jeff Nitta, Director of Operations, and Tiger Nakawake, General Manager/Partner, to help arrange this very special dininer. They were both enthusiastic and willing to accomdate my guests and I.
My girlfriend (now fiance!!!) was truly impressed by their service. They even made a "special dish" for us incorporating one of her favorite sea foods, scallops. The entire meal was delicious and the ambiance was unrivaled to any fine dining experience we've ever had. The green tea tiramisu struck a chord with everyone at the table, for its taste was unique and exquisite. Every part of that dinner was exactly how I envisioned it. Tiger and his staff had my guests with smiles the entire time. The dessert platter was truly a work of art and my compliments to its creator. I will definitely be recommending your restaurant to my friends, and bringing my family to experience Hokusai's "wonders."
There is so much more that I could say, but they would not do the experience justice. I am, again, forever thankful for everyone and their part in this. I extend my gratitude towards the kitchen, for they worked extremely hard to get all our orders out in a timely manner. As I watched Tiger from our table orchestrate them with every order that came in, I observed a disciplined fluidity that I've come to admire from my Japanese heritage.
The entire restaurant exceeded my expectations and left all of us in a trance of exotic flavors. They will definitely be seeing us in the future.
Pros: Ambiance, Customer Service, Timely Seating, Great Food, Reasonable Prices...Basically Everything!!!
Cons: None that I experienced while dining there
