Signature Dishes
Sakura Shrimp Braised Pork Rice
The braising sauce is not sweet, with a gelatinous texture that can leave your lips sticky.
Tsukudani Caramel Daikon
The caramel is sweet, but the daikon may be salty when eaten on its own.
Crab Cakes
Two small cakes contain crab leg meat and are pan-fried crisp with a savory-salty flavor; a squeeze of lemon makes them more sweet-and-sour and appetizing.
Clear-Braised Lion's Head Meatball
The broth is clean, sweet, and smooth, and the vegetables are sweet; the meatball is on the soft side and has a high proportion of fatty meat.
Shrimp-Oil Stir-Fried Pea Shoots
The pea shoots are tender, the shrimp springy and sweet, and the scallops tender without a fishy smell; shrimp oil seasons the dish, with nuts adding texture.

What you should know
- One-person operation; there have been instances of waiting 5–10 minutes for a seat and 10–15 minutes to place an order after arrival.
- An open kitchen with a U-shaped counter; suitable for solo dining and better suited to 2–3 people.
- You may leave with a noticeable smell of cooking smoke; the indoor air is somewhat poorly ventilated.
