As a vegetarian, I can't speak to the Japanese offerings, but the Thai menu features all the classics. Tofu is used as a substitute in most dishes, and be careful when asking for spicy— they tend to go overboard on the heat. If you do decide to order spicy, take it easy. The Green Curry is definitely the highlight of the menu.

The food was outstanding! There are some truly unique maki rolls on the menu, and the Pad Thai was impressive as well. I'll definitely be returning! read more The food was outstanding!

I've also had their Sushi, which is delicious, though it can be a bit expensive if you opt for the special platters. Everything I've tried has been good. The service is average, but I have no complaints overall.

The food was decent, though nothing really stood out. I found their lunch prices a bit on the high side for what you receive. read more The food was decent, though nothing really stood out. I found their lunch prices a bit on the high side for what you receive.

If you're in the mood for a bit more light, the window seating offers a nice view of people passing by, but keep in mind that it's a very relaxed atmosphere, so patience is key. I highly recommend trying the Mexican sushi—it's packed with fantastic flavors, and pairing it with plum wine was just perfect! I visited on a date, and the seating arrangement was ideal for that, but there's also a section at the front suitable for family or friend gatherings. The customer service was excellent—friendly and straightforward. Definitely worth a visit!
