Ordered carry out and everything I got was delicious!…read more Ordered the crab rangoons - these are some of the best wontons I've had, they are BIG and had so much filling in them, 10/10 good! Spicy Tuna Roll - this was a good roll and pretty mild on the spice. Not a huge fan of the crunch inside, it kind of dried out the roll a little for me, but it was still good! Crazy Boy Roll - this was a really good fried roll, lots of flavor and would order it again! Overall great experience. I came in between the lunch and dinner rush so it was pretty empty and the food came out quickly. The server was friendly and helpful.

Table for two... out for a quiet lunch today. Nice ambiance. Like the art work. And having saki and…read morebeer available is always good. On to the food and drink. We started off with a mango lemonade and blackberry lemonade. Big glasses. Nice colors. Not sure where the lemon or fruit was in the drink. Out came the gyoza and fried calamari rings and the Salmon Lover Roll. The gyoza was the best part of the lunch. The calamari was chewy. I expected savory sauce for dipping but they went with sweet. That's ok. The salmon roll was "ok". But not on the list to reorder if or when we return. I read another review that suggested folks stick to the ramen side of the menu... unfortunately I read that review after we had eaten. Maybe next time...

We ordered our cosmos (and one NA) and ordered our flights. Everything came together in small glasses (like a flight duh!) I had the #3. The guac bites and strawberry salad were phenomenal.

We definitely plan to return now that we understand the plan.

We went on a weekday during happy hour and there was lots of seating and ample free parking…read more Their happy hour deals were nice, they had a wine deal where you get a double pour, so you pay for one glass but they give you a glass with double the wine content. It was a lot of wine but a good deal! The only thing that was difficult is their printed wine menu is different from what they had available. The waitress was nice so she got some recommendations from the bartender and we were able to choose wine that way. The pizza was great, some of the best we have had in Coralville. Their pasta tasted fresh and homemade, I am not sure if it is but that was the vibe we got. The broccolini was hot!! Not in a straight out of the oven way, but in an it carries some heat way. We thought maybe there was chili oil on it? But even though we weren't expecting the heat, they were super good. The only downside to the meal was the crème brûlée, it bothers me when the top isn't crispy. Normally, you use the spoon to kind of break the sugar glass on top (i think it's sugar?) and I was sad when the sugar on top was missing from half of it. I think to make it you use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top (?) idk how it works, but whatever that step is I think it was missed. Other than that great food and drinks!
