I live in Columbus and haven't had the options like CO has. We shared a green papaya salad, and it was delicious! I would eat an entire bowl by myself. Don't forget to tear up the basil - it completes the flavor! We got the Lotus, Lemon, Firecracker, Sesame and Pork Belly sushi rolls. That is the order I would rank the rolls in flavor. It is a shame if anyone uses shoyu (sou sauce) or even wasabi when eating these rolls. The lotus has a rice paper wrap (for those who don't like seaweed) and an aioli on top that was so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon was honestly a very close second - maybe even a tie for first. I don't normally like salmon but it was so fresh and the lemon slice was refreshing and clean!

The vibe here is very chic and sophisticated. It is located in a very well known and popular…read moreshopping center, nestled next to some trendy and bougie stores. My son and I were greeted by our server soon upon arriving to our table. We came to dinner around 8pm on a Monday night, so the dining room wasn't very busy. Our server was polite and took our order at our pace with no issues. We like to stagger our orders when we go out to eat. That way, we're enjoying every plate we share that comes out without a rush. We ordered the Salmon Carpaccio to start, but then their Yellowtail Jalapeño came out to our table instead. It was disappointing to see, but then our server came out shortly and apologized. She also made sure to make our appetizer "on the house" for our troubles. This is a gesture I appreciate coming from one service industry gal to another; very professional and hard to find these days. Once the Salmon Carpaccio came out, we were very pleased with it and loved the notes of lemon zest and oil on the salmon sashimi. Next, we were eager to try something new so we asked about the "pressed sushi," on the menu and went with the salmon avocado sushi stack. To be honest, it was okay. It was literally salmon, rice and avocado pressed together and cut into little rectangular pieces. I'll give it to our server though because did tell us that's exactly what it was. Then we ordered the pan fried gyoza dumplings and the Cambodian Roll. The dumplings were disappointing. The flavor was just okay and it felt overpriced. I just know I could get those same dumplings elsewhere for cheaper, or that I would have better luck buying frozen gyoza dumplings and making them myself at home. However, the Cambodian roll was absolutely delicious! Bravo to whoever invented it! All of those flavors, textures and temperatures came together beautifully. It was unique and very satisfying. Lastly, we finished with an ube cheesecake for dessert and it was a perfectly balanced ending to our meal.

We were here for lunch today with another two couples. 11:30 on a Saturday. Immediately seated in…read morea corner booth and the waitress was quick to take our drink orders and entrees. We ordered won tons and sweet and sour soup, General Tso's chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Broccoli and Chicken, Another Chicken dish, Thom Yum soup and a seaweed salad. Our friend didn't like the taste of her Bourbon chicken (and at first thought they served her the wrong dish). The friend with the soup and won-tons liked it a lot. The General Tso's chicken was also said to be good, as was the Broccoli Chicken. My Thom Yum soup didn't fare that well. I thought it tasted like it had too much lime in it. I usually have had Thom Yum with a shrimp or two, but this was with chicken. It had a little bit of a bite but was not near as good as I've had in other restaurants. I wasn't a fan of the seaweed salad. I had three friends order that here the last time I was in and they all raved about it. I'd never tried it, so it was a first for me. I guess I'm just not into it. Overall, everyone had varied ratings of the place so I'll give it a 3.0 for the group. Amongst us I think the ratings went from 1.5 to 4. Another issue is that two of us got our main meals at one time. Then another two after a few minutes, but the last two got served probably 7-8 minutes after the table was initially served.

A lot of the guys were surprised that this was a full blown restaurant. For some reason they had the impression it was more of a take-out, quick serve place. They were impressed with the look and ambience. The waitress was quick to take our drink orders and came back shortly to take our lunch orders. Great pricing...most of the lunch specials are $8.95. We ordered quite a variety off the menu. A couple of the spicy Tangerine chicken with rice or fried rice, General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Broccoll, Spicy Thai Chicken wings and an order of "sea weed" (which was great according to the one that ordered it, Udon Noodles, Miso Soup, Egg rolls and spring rolls. Everyone thought the food was great. There was a lot of food and i thought I could've shared the tangerine chicken and rice. I had the fried rice and it was good. I had a couple of comments saying that they would've like a little more heat on the entree. I noticed that they don't have the little red "hot pepper" icon by any of their meals. Another Tangerine Chicken guy said he would've liked more heat, as did the spicy Chicken Wing guy! I tried a cup of miso soup, as I usually do when I go to Japanese/Asian restaurants and found it not as good as others I've had. Not sure what it was, but it seemed to be more of a cream color than what I normally get. That was my only complaint. Overall rating for the group was a 4.4. I heard many of them say the would be back.

I also placed an order of the salt and pepper mushrooms, garlic and cheese naan and off course some mango lassi. Everything was delicious and friendly quick service. My only complaint was as we wer finishing our meal I really started smelling cigarettes coming through the vent which thankfully we were finishing up but the smell was not pleasant at all. My 6 year old devoured the food as well. We'll for sure be back.

When we asked for extra ginger and sauce, he also seemed somewhat unwilling, which made the experience less comfortable.

The zucchini and onions in the dish were also great. She said the next time she ordered she'd ask for extra veggies, as they were so good. I felt the same way. The steak was also very tender and great tasting. She generally doesn't order steak at Chinese restaurants...sticks to shrimp or chicken, but she tasted the steak in my dish and said she'd order the shrimp and steak next time. Nice atmosphere.
