What makes it special: Sushi-plus-Thai flexibility that keeps lunch decisions easy.
Who should go: Coworkers who want mixed cravings.
When to visit: Weekday lunch window for fastest service.
What to order: Komodo maki; Panang curry; crab rangoon starter.
Insider tip: One roll + one Thai main beats ordering multiple rolls.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking on Broadway and nearby side streets; easiest if you arrive a little before the lunch rush. Expect quick turnover at midday, but it can tighten up if you come right at peak lunch.
Dress code: Casual smart—business casual fits, but jeans and a clean hoodie are totally fine for a quick lunch.
Noise level: Moderate—easy to talk across the table, but it gets livelier during the lunch rush.
Weekend wait: 20–40 min at peak times; shorter if you go earlier.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait to 10 min; 10–20 min if you hit the rush window.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable-forward Thai mains plus veggie sushi/roll options make it easy to build a full lunch.
Vegan options: Limited but doable—stick to tofu/vegetable Thai dishes and simple veggie rolls; confirm sauces (fish sauce/oyster sauce) before ordering.
Gluten-free options: Some options available—go with rice-based Thai dishes and sashimi/straightforward sushi; ask for gluten-free soy sauce and double-check curry/sauce ingredients.
Best For
Better for: Fast, flexible business lunches when the table has mixed cravings—one person can go roll-forward while another goes Thai comfort, and the meal still feels coordinated and quick.
Skip if: You want a dedicated omakase-style sushi experience or a formal client-meeting atmosphere—this is best when you want efficient variety, not a long, chef-led dining arc.
