Makes sense, the guide inspectors can’t review the restaurant if they can’t get reservations.
I tried to get a reservation there in 2017, 3 months out but still failed. Basically if you want to eat there, book a Ritz Carlton presidential suite 90 days in advance and have the hotel concierge make the reservation and you’ll have a chance.
Or you can go to any other similarly reviewed sushi shop and have equally as delicious sushi.
Awww. I love that movie!
Interesting, i suppose they don’t need the stars anymore (stars is a validated publicity) so they may manage better their agenda.
Wow the restaurant only seats 10 people at a time, maybe they need to move a bigger location.

What kind of selfish asshole would no-show at a restaurant that only seats 10 people.
