he deserved. We'll definitely be going back there. Prices are in the
moderate range, $12-19 for entrees, $3.50-10 for appetizers, and $3-4
for soup and salad. While we like it's closeness, it surprizes me
being in an area of strip malls and residential. It belongs in trendy

here, it's one chain after another. We've got most of them. People
gripe about nothing but chains but don't support the high quality
independent places frequently enough to keep them going.

see, we've got plenty of independent places that serve Asian
food.....but they all serve the same thing! We keep trying out the new
places, and you'll find: shumai, edamame, gyoza, miso soup for
appetizers. lots of sushi, both traditional and fusion rolls. tempura,
teriyaki, katsu, maybe an udon bowl or two. the same at every place.
i'm quite happy to eat sushi, but i'd love to find a place with an
interesting, unusual menu that made it stand out from the rest. mostly
the difference here is service.
