HIDDEN GEM! I stumbled across ads and recommendations while searching for a new local sushi place to try. Very reasonable price point and EXCEPTIONAL quality. After the first course, we started planning a repeat visit for an upcoming Omakase (chef’s choice) dinner, which they offer ~ monthly. The owner Jesse even stopped by to chat when she learned it was our 1st visit. Bonus: Basic hot sake is very affordable too!

This was great Indian quisine! Could use some decorations and table adjustments to make it feel more private and upscale. But the food is already upscale with a nice option to dial in your preferred level of spice. A 3 for me was nice and solidly spicy. Great sides too. Naan and mint were both great. And let my dining companion opt for no heat. Definitely recommend.
