A very pleasant establishment situated on ninth Street within the Italian market. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and presented with menus. Our server was incredibly amiable. However, there was a slight language barrier that hindered communication. Uncertain if the dishes adhered to traditional recipes, I requested certain substitutions which may not have been fully understood. Nonetheless, she was accommodating and went out of her way to inquire about ingredients in sauces and dressings. The menu does offer clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options, although the details of the sauces and dressings in vegan dishes require additional clarification. One of my companions opted for the Takatsu Ramen and found it to be delectable. We also shared an order of pan-fried dumplings that were vegan - satisfactory, but not the best we've had.
Personally, I chose the avocado Machi roll, which was outstanding. Filled with avocados and peanuts, it came with a side of Sriracha that complemented the dish perfectly with its sweet-and-spicy kick. The avocado salad, on the other hand, was mediocre. Slices of fresh avocado were accompanied by black and white sesame seeds over a bed of iceberg lettuce mixed with cucumber and carrot. Unfortunately, a vegan dressing was not offered, prompting me to create my own blend of Sriracha and vinegar.
Feeling a bit rushed despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, we were surprised to receive the check while still dining, with one dish prematurely cleared away. However, overall, it was a positive experience. We anticipate returning in the future to explore other offerings on the menu.
