I went with a small group for dinner and restaurant was easy to find but parking was a little tricky. There are some street parking in front of restaurant but most in parking garages. The first and second levels parking are not connected. The restaurant is on a strip with other businesses such as District Taco, Kiin Imm Thai, Rice Culture. There's a menu stand in front of restaurant, 2 kiosk menu on right side and a very large overhead menu. There are some interior decors all around and interior seatings too. All staff are friendly and patient. The cashier Peter was great who was knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered 6 items: 1) Pork belly bao bun 2) Pork katsu and curry 3) Handroll sampler A 4) Kimchi ramen 5) Kimchi and spam onirigi 6) Beef onirigi. The bao buns had five protein and one vegetarian to choose from but you don't have the option to mix match as I was told. Once you placed your order, it will be hand deliver to your table. So I ordered the pork bao buns. They were delicious and the buns were airy and fresh. The katsu and curry has two protein selections (pork and chicken) which we order one of each. When it arrive to the table, the presentation of the plate was pretty. The curry itself was very flavorful, smooth and aromatic. The pork katsu remain its crispiness and had the right amount of sauce that was drizzle on top, served with rice, garnished with an orchid. The kimchi ramen was topped with pork belly, crispy tofu strips, onions, egg, green onions. Everything incorporated well except the broth which was a little salty. We were excited for the onirigi with ten protein selections but unfortunately it fell flat for us. The rice was perfect, it was fluffy and tasty but the filling wasn't much in it. The portion of the rice 90% and 10% was the selected protein. I also ordered the handroll sampler which I asked what was difference between A and B. Let me tell you, this item is a must get! The sampler comes with 3 perfectly portioned crispy eel, truffle salmon and spicy toro with truffle. The difference with B is the fresh crab meat instead of toro. Those were the best three, one biter I ever tasted! With each in its own category, they all had unique flavors that will make your palate jumping for joy. I will definitely get that sampler again as I am still salvaging from it .. lol. We will definitely make a return visit to try more dishes.
