    There's a bar downstairs but it's a great stop for a delicious lunch. The pad thai and fried rice are very well done. I also enjoy the ginger fried chicken, extremely moist. Good Japanese rice too!

    Try the ginger fried chicken with the crazy sumptuous soy sauce mayo. Pair it with brown rice and the market green salad so you don't feel too guilty.

    Seaweed salad is delicious, as is the spicy Hobo Noodles with shrimp. The service, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired.

    This place has good food, but the hostesses are morons. They do a comically bad job at managing guests. Be prepared to wait a long time for a table as a result of their incompetence.

    Seems like restaurant suffers from identity crisis. Food left my stomach hurting immediately and inside has poor ventilation/ air circulation. Very unsatisfied. Thanks Eric for bringing me here...

    Contrary to popular belief, and one or two personal experiences of poor dining out here, I've learned to sit at the bar for more reliable service.

    They only accept American Express. So have cash or friends that will spot you.
