Wow! I can see why this place gets such good reviews--I couldn't say a bad thing about it.
We stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday, they had plenty of tables available and we got seated right away. They have a few lunch specials, the one I did was $13 for miso soup, red curry (chicken, tofu or veggies--I chose chicken), and added on crab rangoons for $5 to share. We also got the flaming tuna crispy rice as an app. I could live off of both of these. Absolutely delectable. The Rangoons are smaller in structure than how most are, but the shape of them allows more crab and cream cheese inside which we both appreciated, instead of having bites of just wonton, how many Rangoons are. These are the way to go. The tuna crispy rice was also fabulous. They don't even taste like tuna at all. It was creamy on top, but crispy on the lower half, and the combination of the curry Mayo, sweet soy glaze, and spicy Mayo added some spice but not overwhelmingly so.
Their miso soup had an abundance of scallions, tofu, and seaweed, more than I've ever seen in miso before. It was good flavor, could have been a little hotter though.
The curry was fantastic. You could taste the coconut in it, the rice was cooked to perfection, good amount of veggies and chicken included, and portion size--too big for me!! Maybe it was all the apps we had, but I could only have around 4 bites of it, although I wanted it all. I took the rest to-go and will have a nice meal tomorrow!
My date got the chashu pork and the hot on the state roll. He was very happy with both of them, although preferred my curry. He said the best thing about the pork was the sauce, and the sushi roll consisted of fresh ingredients but would choose something more unique next time. Definitely will be coming back!
