Thoughts: I LOVE this place and yes I am biased because my friend works there! loL...On an unbiased note, the food is fresh, friendly service (all the servers treat everyone like their homies), and definitely a food environment! The wait may be long, but it's worth it! ^_~

Fresh veggies w/ tofu and udon

Salmon (I recommend it w/ teriyaki sauce)!

You can't go wrong with Beef! :)

Soup that came with our Felix Combination (see below)
