    We have been here several times before and have never been disappointed. We cannot resist the fried tofu. We also love the shrimp tempura but we skipped it this time as we wanted to also get a “large plate” entree. My wife enjoyed her teriyaki salmon. My tuna was great. We shared the salad and the pretzel dessert. I am disappointed that the miso Halibut is no longer on the menu…. We will be back though! Thank you Alec - our server.

    Festive New Year's Eve crowd with special very tasty menu. Energetic and loud individuals at adjoining tables made this less enjoyable for me but my wife didn't seem to mind. The food was tender, tasty, and gourmet. Excellent.
