“Worth the 15 minute drive. The lunch bento was a good size and everything tasted really good. The spicy tuna sushi didn't even need any soy sauce, it just melted in your mouth. The taro boba was good as well.

The fried ice cream was bigger than I thought it would be but there is a cake around it that is really soft. That paired with the crunchy outside is really good.“
