First one in and I walked from the hotel Lela only 1/2 mile away. At the recommendation of my super sweet server I tried the fire cracker shrimp which was a regular specialty on he table placard. I also noticed the cod miso which intrigued me so I order it. What brought in though was the Hamichi Kama which I ordered also. On top of this they brought out a black seaweed/gyoza sample. The. On top of that since it is my birthday week they brought me the green tea mocha. Wow to say I am stuff was an understatement. So since this was a progressive ordering situation which I created the food came out sort of mish mash. I started with black seaweed / gyoza sampler. It was awesome. I would have ordered more had I not already ordered . Then I moved on to the bang bang shrimp. 8 breaded shrimp with their version of bang bang sauce. Plump shrimp with a chili sauce. Not bad. The sauce was just a chili style sauce and so left some to be desired. Then the cod miso came out. Wow. Super hot and had actual chunks of cod and veggies in it. Very good. Then the Hamichi Kama which came out. Amazing. I had this before in Japan and in West Virginia. Amazing. Definitely a recommend. Then they brought out the green tea mochi with green tea ice cream. It was the best I have ever had. Amazing meal definitely needed the walk back to try and walk some of it off. The restaurant is small and reservations are highly recommended. Definitely worth the trouble and I plan to return in the future to try some other items.

The miso was out immediately while they made the poke bowl. The soup was tasty with quite a bit of seaweed. The poke bowl was a nice size and was as tasty as it was pretty.

Decor is typical Asian with screens a usual art and decor. The staff were very friendly and seated me immediately. My guess would be that this is a local family run restaurant. Menu is a mix of Asian cuisine. I opted for a couple of rolls and a side salad with the traditional ginger dressing. Let's start with the salad. This thing was huge, fresh and delicious. The dressing was also not the typical ginger dressing as this has ginger pieces in it. Delicious. The rolls I opted for the red and the orange so one tuna and one salmon roll. They were both large and delicious and very nicely plated. Fast friendly and delicious makes a great combo.

The freshness of the food is evident in the taste. The food is also plentiful and shareable. We started with Blue Crab Ragoons which were freshly made. We then shared the seasonal Fire & Ash roll. When it came out I was skeptical of the "orange colored mush" on top but that is exactly what made the roll. The mush was tuna that was slightly smoked. All of the ingredients within the roll were very fresh and the roll was huge. The Angry Tiger was wrapped in white seaweed and included both spicy tuna, salmon, and shrimp tempura. Excellent. The General Tso Chicken had the right level of spice. The ending was the best. Tempura Fried Ice Cream which is a seasonal specialty. Vanilla ice cream covered in a dome of pound cake and fried topped with a drizzle of strawberry and chocolate. Service was terrific. My drink was continually refilled and the server was super nice. The entire staff was always looking out for everyone even if it wasn't their table. It was a lovely day so we ate outside. Pretty good seating outside. Inside has a cool vibe...coastal blues meet Asian design. Everyone leaves with boxes because you get the portions you pay for.
