Description

The kitchen prioritizes clean, simple preparations to highlight individual ingredients. The menu goes beyond basic rolls with ginger beef, mango maki, and five-spice chicken, plus desserts like ube cheesecake. Diner experiences with the sushi can vary: some praise the spicy tuna rolls, while others find the sushi occasionally dry or missing a punch of flavor. The dumplings are widely favored for their textures and taste. A bottle of Japanese sake can round out the meal, which draws a mix of vegan and non-vegan crowds.
