    Sushi-San is such a fun spot with great energy. It’s lively but never too much, & the staff is always super friendly & on it. The broccolini is a must—so flavorful & perfectly charred. The skirt steak is tender & packed with flavor, & the lettuce wraps are fresh & light. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. Solid food, great vibes, & always a good time.

    Khmai was a wonderful experience! The service and food were both excellent. My husband and I are newbies to Cambodian food, so we had lots of questions about the menu. Our waiter, Dakota, was happy to answer all of them and give recommendations based on our preferences. The staff is well-prepared to help customers, which made the experience even better. All the food was delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try something from the ever-changing menu.
