Description

The kitchen prepares orders quickly, offering a menu that stretches to bento boxes and hibachi dishes. While some plates like the miso sea bass and king lobster roll draw mixed reactions, specific standouts include the diamond sushi tray, tuna tartar, and fresh sea urchin. The comfortable, relaxed room suits a slow-paced dinner, with the menu also offering lighter options like a grilled shrimp and mango salad.
