The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to use a cabbage salad instead of lettuce, but I admit that’s just a personal preference. The owner shared that he had worked in Japan and was truly passionate about the cuisine. I will definitely be returning! Edit: I went back again, and the salad was a mix of cabbage and lettuce. So delicious!
