Overall, I liked it and appreciated the café's ambiance. The salmon and avocado were flavorful and complemented the sushi rice well. However, I didn’t particularly care for the tomatoes in the dish, as I felt they didn’t add to the overall taste. All in all, it was a decent experience, but not one that stands out. I would rate it 3.5 stars.

Although we were initially hesitant to try it, we're so glad we decided to go in. We ordered a tuna kale noodle bowl and a salmon poke bowl, which are essentially the same dish but with different fish and types of carbs. The poke bowl surpassed many I've had at various sushi restaurants, but the kale noodles were the real standout. They were delightfully springy and paired perfectly with the sesame sauce. We also ordered the miso udon for our child. While I can't compare it to ramen since it's udon, the ramen egg was far better than what I've had at many ramen places.

The poke bowl featuring salmon and kale noodles included a fair amount of vegetables, but it was short on salmon and noodles. The shredded beef in black pepper sauce could also benefit from more greens. I've definitely had more flavorful poke bowls at other places. As for parking, there's limited availability around the condo building, and there is a two-hour time limit.

Incredible! I'm thrilled that we now have a place like this in our neighborhood. read more Incredible! I'm thrilled that we now have a place like this in our neighborhood.

However, I had a disappointing experience last month with the kale noodles; they tasted stale and had an unpleasant smell, causing me to discard them. Because of that experience, I was reluctant to order the kale again, as it left a negative impression on me.
