Their ‘48-hour pork’ rice bowl and their tuna and salmon bowl are popular favourites among diners. The menu also features some vegetarian options, such as homemade tofu. The wait is more than worth the time. For dessert, they have homemade soft serve ice cream with flavor powders in varieties that include unique options like matcha and ginger—a refreshing break from your usual date night meal.
