We ate here for Friday lunch and selected the premium option.
The nigiri was really good, decent amount of fish and less rice than sushi. We mostly order nigiri. We got some side dishes but nothing stood out. Since we paid the dinner price, we were able to order items that were only available at dinner. I think it's worth it if you can eat a lot.
Service was good as well.

We came for lunch on a Monday without reservation. The first thing the server asked us was if we had a reservation and if we wanted a duck. I say we were pretty lucky to be able to try the Peking duck without a reservation.

We ordered:
- Diced top sirloin with black pepper sauce: our favorite. The meat was so tender, well marinated. The black pepper sauce was delicious, flavorful. It's not greasy. Definitely recommend this dish.
- Peking duck: didn't like it much. I might not be qualified to judge this dish since the first time I had it was over 10 years ago. Not what I imagined. It felt a bit greasy. The duck skin wasn't scripy crunchy. It had a bit of a crunch and melt right away so I couldn't feel it much. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be? Idk.
- Mapo tofu: very greasy and I didn't particularly like the flavor and thought it wasn't really flavorful.
- Rice (2 portions): rice isn't included in any dishes so you need to order extra

No outdoor seating, pretty nice indoor seating. Spacious. Clean.

Service was okay. Not amazing but not bad.

Kelley park is an okay park. Not amazing but not bad. It's very close toy house so having a place to walk to is great. There are some parts of the park that look not well maintained and dog poop on the walk way (people, pick up after your dogs please!). Other parts are good, decent shade.

It's close to the Zoo, Japanese Friendship Garden and History Park.

Has a bathroom for men and women. Pretty clean for a park.

Park rangers that passed by seem to be very friendly.
