What you should know
- Outdoor seating is available; market smells and sounds from neighboring tables may be part of the dining environment.
- The delivery sushi is substantial, but salmon fried rice has at times varied in wok aroma, moisture, and seasoning.
- The pumpkin cheese chakin is very large, filled with crab stick, mashed potato, and cheese; it is relatively starch-heavy and suited to sharing.
