I'm not a sushi fan, but I love their gyoza (Japanese fried dumplings), which I usually order with the house salad. Everything is fresh and well prepared. Outdoor seating available. It will be a shame if this place closes when the Regal is torn down in January. I will miss it.

Great service, very kind. Good food. My friend spilled her food and the nice worker gave her 3 wipes, they worked wonders on her light wash jeans. Theory: tips get you bigger free water cups. I enjoyed my experience, the server reminds me of a friend from Guatemala.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! I went in here after a long day of walking around and beaching. Me and my friend were both kind of tired and wanted a snack. We both really like edamame, so we got excited when we saw this place. We walked in and got 1 edamame. Simple, right? The cashier asked is it for here or to go we said HERE well than a few minutes later we get our edamame but it’s in a to go container.. which whatever but, than my friend asks for water cups she gets me a water and she goes to get herself one and the soda machine has the weird thing where the water is connected to the lemonade she accidentally gets a splash of lemonade like it was genuinely barley any maybe a 3rd of it at most and keep in mind it’s connected… she genuinely didint actually even intend for that but she starts to walk over to the table and I’m about to get up to ask for a little bowl so I can dip the edamame in soy sauce because for some reason, we got it and a to go, even though we asked for it for here….. but anyways well, my friend was arriving to the table and the cashier basically storms over and grabs the cup away from my friend and dumps it out and says something along the lines of “no you can’t have that” or something stupid like that she literally dumped it out and then hand her back the cup and said only water it was generally just so uncomfortable. I’m also in the restaurant industry, and I get that it can be annoying if people ask for a water cup and get soda, but it was genuinely just a splash of lemonade, and it wasn’t actually even on purpose. It wasn’t like she got some Coke or anything else, and even then, I’ve never seen it. Be a big deal. So I’m really upset We even tipped to begin with because it’s one of those annoying systems where you have to tip right away, and I’ll put a photo, but this is with our meal, ended up having to look like..!
