Anish B. • February 26, 2023Don't skip out on the chai

Jenn P. • April 2, 2018Ask for the float! This is a matcha latte with soft serve on top.

Connie C. • August 14, 2018Delicious omkase with a flair! Really unique combinations and flavor accents, like gold flakes, herbs, foie gras, etc on traditional sushi. Small station but great chefs. Def do the 12 piece.

Megan Allison • February 1, 2022Modest and unfancy-looking compared with premium ice creams in the area, but it's winning the game with the next-level creamiest gelato. Fig ricotta will change you. 🍨🏆

Kelly . • October 1, 2012Japanese crepe has green tea ice cream, red beans, and macha sauce. Delicious! Make sure you add ice cream to any crepe you get. You need to balance out the dry crispy crepe with something creamy
