    Had the opportunity to take my daughter, her husband and their French foreign exchange student to dinner with my wife and I. All three are vegetarian while my wife and I are not. Everyone was able to find exceptional dishes that exceeded their expectations. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix and its proximity to Sky Harbor makes for a great place to take folks from out of town when arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. Never disappoints

    The place was very loud for a sit-down restaurant, but Angela, our server, was excellent. The taco appetizer, salmon, and jambalaya were delicious, but the french dip sandwich was bland. Overall, I would recommend dining hear.

    The service was amazing as someone always came to check on us. The sushi was incredible and pork bao bun was amazing! We went during happy hour and had the house sake, which was very smooth. They brought out desert for our anniversary and surprised us. We are definitely going back. Everything was beautiful ❤️
