    Had the brisket sandwich - it is a delicious mess! Highly recommended. Excellent, attentive service. Modest beer on tap offering, but at least a couple of each type. Location has ample parking despite having many shops and a grocery nearby. Plan on going there again.

    The service was amazing as someone always came to check on us. The sushi was incredible and pork bao bun was amazing! We went during happy hour and had the house sake, which was very smooth. They brought out desert for our anniversary and surprised us. We are definitely going back. Everything was beautiful ❤️
