    We dined at the bar on 6/24/26 and our bartenders took excellent care of us! The food was amazing too (Brussels sprouts, rainbow roll, GOAT roll and some incredible chocolate pudding dessert)! Thank you!

    Food was great for the area. Fresh ingredients, well prepared, not over sauced, etc. We had mushroom pizza, ginger salad, and a sushi roll. All were very good. Service was fine enough. Very attentive, but as with most places these days, it’s the details that get missed (open the beer before bringing it to the table, etc.). However, our waitress was very helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging…loved her! Highly recommend this place.

    We had a combination of appetizers, sushi, pancit, and beef teriyaki. The lumpia, gyoza, seaweed salad, and shu mai were some of the best I have ever eaten. My pancit was perfection - both in flavor and texture. The teriyaki beef was so tender and flavorful and the Brussels sprouts were unique and mouthwatering. Everyone loved the sushi they ordered. Our server, Justine, was amazing and really made our celebratory lunch even better than we expected.
