Came here tonight to celebrate my daughter's 15th birthday. We came in at 5:30 on a Saturday and were seated within a few minutes with a party of 9. Our server was Daquan (spelling is probably wrong) and he did such an amazing job taking care of us. They kept our cake in the cooler for us and he brought it out at the end of our meal, helped put all the candles in and brought it to our table. He even went as far as to cut and serve the cake for us. We always enjoy the food and service here, but tonight, D went above and beyond for us to make it a special birthday dinner for my girl. Thank you D for taking such good care of us!

I will start with our server was great and very helpful with my food allergies and dietary restrictions. No lofty assumptions that my milk allergy was an intolerance. I really appreciate that. With that said, be VERY cautious if you have milk allergy. The coconut lemongrass Moonstone Sake is amazing! Their sushi is always good and I appreciate that there are at least a few vegan rolls available and vegetable hibachi (not sure if they use butter/margarine for hibachi here, I didn’t want to risk it). Just beware that the tempura veggie rolls ARE NOT vegan. Their tempura batter contains milk. You can get those rolls without tempura though. I had to wait a really long time for my food because they used tempura on the first order and it had to be redone. I was so hungry I forgot to take photos before I ate. It would be AMAZING if they made a vegan speciality roll. However that’s where the vegan-friendliness ends because all their tofu dishes use a breading that contains milk and supposedly they can’t fry the tofu without it or it would fall apart. Seriously?! They need to order firmer tofu then because it’s completely possible to fry tofu without breading if it’s firm enough. All vegans know anything above medium firm can be fried on its own. Way to ruin Asian cuisine for us traveling vegans/non-dairy people. This applies to ALL breading apparently so beware if you’re a meat eater with any milk issues. Also TEMPURA ISN’T SUPPOSED TO HAVE MILK IN IT! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Had the Mongolian beef and the Wednesday spicy salmon sushi. Very good. It's on my places to come back to.

Thank you for asking us. Our staff wear masks and our tables are far away from each other. We sterilize every table after the guests have finished their meal

Do they have outdoor seating?

Definitely closed to inside seating. There is a table or two outside but I wouldnt call it outdoor seating, it's not serviced. So if you use them you are basically ordering takeout and picnicking.

Are you open today Christmas Day?
