Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Food is very yummy. The food seems more consistent and good every time since the change in ownership last year. Loved our server Maria… she’s really attentive and sweet. Update 7/19/25 Usually the food has been wonderful and consistent. But tonight the spicy tuna was straight siracha with the tuna instead of spicy mayo. It made it difficult to eat and we left food uneaten as we didn’t feel well & our mouths were burning. Makes me concerned about returning. Hopefully there can be better experiences in the future.

My boyfriend and I came to this restaurant tonight to have a date for his remission birthday, The service was HORRIBLE! I am not the type to leave reviews online but I am genuinely offended with the way that we were treated tonight. We got sat down pretty quickly, however the whole entire 30 minutes we got to dine, we felt like we were being completely rushed. We ordered some shrimp dumplings to start off, and sushi rolls for our meal. As soon as our appetizer came out, he brought out our sushi, which is not a problem at all. However, the other lady brought our check to the table as soon as the food hit the table, which again is not usually an issue, but she seemed very unhappy we were still in there. It made the environment feel completely rushed and uncomfortable, no smiles on faces, no kind greetings. their attitudes were definitely showing that they did NOT want us in there. As well as right as we were finishing up our food, the lady came and took our plates, and told us to pay at the front RIGHT as we took our last bites, no silverware was set down yet. We arrived at the restaurant an hour and 20 minutes before their posted close time and left around 40 minutes before posted time. I personally felt like it was very uncomfortable, but I did still leave a tip. All I wanted to do was have a nice date with my boyfriend as a gift to him for his remission birthday. I am very disappointed.

Traveling for work and stumbled across this hidden gem. Clean and quite about an hour before closing. Food was made fresh and the taste/flavors were incredible. Staff were friendly and polite. Will definitely come back. 😋
