Trendy Table Hotspots
Girls Night Out Approved
Birthday & Celebration Central
A big, lively Asian-fusion dining room where sushi rolls play best as part of a shared spread. The smartest order is one signature roll plus one clean classic roll, then pivot to one hot entrée—too many rolls gets heavy fast in this format.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dragon roll, Spicy tuna roll, Kani salad

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive on 70th Road, especially after 6pm. Allow extra time or plan to walk a few blocks.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy-casual. Jeans are fine, but the room skews polished—groups tend to dress up a bit.
Noise level: Loud and energetic—conversation is possible, but expect to speak up during peak hours.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or short wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several vegetable rolls, tofu-based dishes, and meat-free appetizers
Vegan options: Limited – a few vegetable rolls and sides; confirm sauces when ordering
Gluten-free options: Limited – some sashimi and rice-based dishes work, but cross-contact is possible
Best For
Better for: Large groups, celebrations, and shared sushi-plus-entree ordering with cocktails in a high-energy setting
Skip if: You want a quiet sushi-focused meal or plan to order multiple rolls per person—simpler sushi counters handle that better
