    Asian fusion offers original flavor and taste of the classic favorites. Try the Teriyaki Tilapia Japanese Bento Box Lunch with broccoli, carrots, snap pea pods, served with Jasmine steamed rice.

    This restaurant is delicious! You gotta try their signature maki: porcupine & sex on the moon! If you like red wine, order their half bottle of cabernet sauvignon for only $8!

    The sushi is the best I've had in the city. Try the Spicy Blue Crab, Spider, Sweet Potato Tempura, Summer Passion, or Volcano maki. They also have the BEST crab rangoon in the city.
