Our first time in.Had the Bao and Veggie Tacos.Both had really great flavors and presentation.Sat at the bar and tried several of the creative cocktails.All were good and very non-traditional.It seems the owner really tries to be creative with just about everything.Sat at the bar as they was the only place left.No hostess.Another patron said we just needed to head upstairs.I’d come back if they added more vegetarian options as it seems they have their flavors down :)
Wow, wow, wow! Amazing sophisticated, creative Japanese fusion.Every small plate blew us away.Karaage and Miso ribs were a religious experience.Steam bun tacos were delicious and fun: fried chicken with hot honey, blackened shrimp, and Cubanos.The crispy duck ham Dan Dan noodles, the seared scallops, and the gumbo-stuffed gyoza 🥟 with cornbread were superb.The hamachi carpaccio was unbelievable.Add in great unique cocktails, desserts, and caring, expert service and well just wow.
Great food! Perfectly cooked steak, rich miso soup, and delightfully fresh and creative sushi bowl.Somehow both laid-back and fancy, ideal atmosphere for a romantic dinner.
