Reviews
As I got closer I noticed plenty of free shared parking was available, and I easily found a spot just a short walk from the restaurant. As I approached, I noticed outdoor seating and decided to wait near the entrance for my friend to arrive. The steady stream of customers suggested it was a popular place for takeout as well. When my friend showed up, we had a quick chat about whether to dine inside or out. I was leaning toward sitting outside (of course), and thankfully, he agreed. Although the day was a little gloomy and some sunshine would’ve been nice, we opted for the patio. The indoor dining area looked a little dark anyway. We were seated promptly and handed menus. Our server, Lukas, came by shortly after to take our drink order—we kept it simple with a couple of waters—and then started checking the extensive menu. What makes this place stand out is its variety: Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes all in one spot. On this visit, we were definitely focused on the Thai options. While they offered a few lunch specials, I was a little disappointed that the Massaman curry wasn’t included. I went with the Panang curry with chicken instead, while my friend chose the chicken Pad Thai. My friend asked if some added spice could be added to his order and he advised he would mention it to the kitchen. The food arrived pretty quickly (under 15 minutes) —which gave us a chance to catch up while we waited. The lunch special also came with a choice of soup or salad; we both chose the ginger salad, which arrived with a spring roll on the side. Lukas, our server, was clearly busy but remained friendly and helpful throughout. My friend’s meal didn’t turn out particularly spicy, but he still really enjoyed it. I was happy with my Panang curry too—great flavor and a generous portion for a lunch special. I’ve driven past this place many times, but this was my first visit. Now that I’ve tried it, I’ll definitely be back—especially since it’s located in one of my favorite areas of town.
From the start, our server seemed flustered and stressed, mentioning he was the only person working the floor. While I understand being short-staffed can be difficult, the restaurant was not busy at all only a few occupied tables. Despite that, every time we tried to add to our order, he walked away quickly, rolled his eyes, and responded in a way that made us feel like we were a burden rather than welcomed customers.
When the owner brought out my food, it was not what I had ordered. Instead of simply exchanging it, he insisted on explaining the difference between nigiri and sashimi sushi, even after I politely repeated that I understood but wanted the item I originally requested. His tone and expression made me feel dismissed, as though my request was unreasonable.
Overall, the atmosphere from both the server and the owner left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We even considered leaving mid-meal. For a bill of $83, the service and attitude we received were disappointing, and unfortunately, it’s not a place we’ll be returning to.
I thought my sushi was very solid. The fish tasted fresh and were cut nicely.
Overall I think this is a great restaurant for casual sushi. It was not outstanding but very solid and affordable. I would come back and try their other items. There also is plenty of parking
