Love the assortment of breakfast items here. My fam and I got in with ANA. It's our first time here but it def beats the other lounges in this terminal.

Pretty mediocre lounge, but one of the only options in Terminal 7. I got access here because I was flying first class on ANA. I got here in the morning...

Good bubbly, friendly staff, and mostly quiet.
So yeah, the bubbly isn't as awesome as it used to be, but it is still very very good (Jeeper rose!)

Overall ratings
Very small, dated and uncomfortable seats, miniscule snack/food menu. Hotter than hell (temperature wise) and employees feel neither compelled to do anything about it nor do they seem to care, because out where they sit, it’s not as hot. This is early December with moderately warm temperatures outside. The only reason this is not a one star but two star review is because there is an acceptable wine selection and proper champagne (Laurent Perrier). Bathrooms are clean, but no showers available, and a single stall only for men’s (three stalls in womens). But a Costco load of feminine products provided, just in case. This is not first class by any stretch of the imagination.
