Description

The kitchen’s strength lies in its structured sets. The sandoitchi sets arrive with crunchy nori fries or salad, framing sandos filled with juicy chicken, tofu katsu, or oolong katsu. For a more elaborate meal, the Cambodian teishoku sets surround your choice of protein with chilled watercress, ochoko egg, pickled beets, nori rice, and a smoky shoyu tare soup. Vegetarian options are well represented, from a tofu katsu curry to a rich vegetarian ramen. Diners in the front can sip ginger-forward cocktails from the back bar or order refreshing, house-made white peach sodas.
