    So many good options. Do get a miso soup. A must have is a dragon kona roll, or volcano if you're a hot adventurer.

    The California roll was good, a few other sushi plates were good. Wasn’t happy with the Tuna

    Tricked into paying full price for a happy hour entree to-go. They didn't mention it when I ordered or on the website, only when the food was ready. What a SHADY thing to do. I used to love this place

    BBQ Chicken Flatbread was delicious. Substantial enough for two and $6.95 special in the bar/lounge.

    The sushi isn't that great. It's rolled loosely & falls apart easily. Stick with a regular dish. On the other hand, their miso soup is fantastic!

    The angry edamame is definitely "angry" (spicy) but very tasty if you can handle the burn.

    Is it just me or is the service incredibly slow? Time until waitress came to get order alone was 30 minutes...avoid happy hour times.

    The waitress told me to get the macadamia nut chicken. She could not be more correct. I knew it would be good as soon as they brought it to the table. It tasted as good as it smelled.
