Margarita’s was a pleasant surprise. Had not been there in years. Beautifully remodeled bar and dining area. Bright, modern and decorated with unique Mexican style art. I’m from Texas, so I eat a lot of Mexican food. Chips, salsa and guacamole are all freshly made. The tomatillo sauce is really good and has a nice smoky finish. I had the Carne Asada and it was very nice. Flavorful and served with flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. Beans and rice were just so-so. Patron margaritas are cold and tart. Overall, nice experience.

I have gone there a number of times. Phillipe, the man in-charge, always makes us laugh. Pity he does not work on Sundays when I go most. Food is really good. Wine selection decent but could do with more beers. Love the 'old-school' ambience.

My friend and I had an enjoyable birthday meal in Kairyu Yoppi. We chose the Kairyu Omakase Set. We were seated on the second floor which is more quiet and intimate setting. There was a lot of food which rendered both of us very full, and I liked the balance between nigiri sushi and the cooked meals which allowed us to enjoy a hearty meal that was carefully prepared. First time for me to see the chef using hot charcoal heat to coax the tuna cheeks to grill in its own fats, which was very tasty without the burnt taste when usually the chef may use the fire torch. The team thoughtfully added a mini cheese cake in addition to the usual desserts with happy birthday sign and candle which was very appreciated.
