Ahi tuna and spicy tuna Tostadas are WOWWWWWW AMAZING!!! one of my favorite spots for quick bite after work! It’s bar seating only which is usually full and the only downside but Totally worth the wait! Highly recommend! Edamame is ok

Unfortunately couldn’t try their tacos, as at 11:20 AM they said that they will open at around 12 PM.Disappointed that they do not update the opening time on Google.

Don't get the bowls. I've been wanting to come for awhile because I love fusion restaurants. I was highly disappointed unfortunately. I got a burrito bowl with double meat but they drowned it in sauce. Not only was my bowl soup-like, the sauce was so salty. The curry beef was very tasty despite this but the bowl itself was very unsatisfying. My partner got one too and his bowl was the same. When we told them, they gave us a huge plate of extra rice but unfortunately it didn't really help. I hear the tacos are better so if you come, avoid the bowls and try the tacos for me because I can't return. Service was really good though. 2 stars given solely for the food.

DO NOT get the spicy tuna taco. I got food poisoning and it pretty much ruined my last night in the city. Plenty of other good options to check out in the area that won’t have you stuck on the toilet.

Excellent fusion style tacos. We tried four different varieties with the bento box option. Huge portions and good value. Tacos were very tasty and service was incredibly fast. Very busy place at lunchtime so may be hard to find a table. Try it out!

The letter “V” on their menu can mean both vegetarian and vegan. I didn’t realize until I received my plate of food and noticed the cotija crumbles on my lentil taco. The male waiter got upset because I requested food without cheese because I am a vegan. He said, you should’ve told me and got upset and said, well now I have to throw the food away and shook his head. Not a way to treat a paying customer, who’s supporting your business. As a recommendation, the restaurant needs to add another acronym to items that are vegan. Perhaps add “V” for vegan and “Veg” for vegetarian. It’s misleading when “V” is the only vegan/vegetarian acronym on the menu. Also, when a different waiter took my plate away, she immediately placed the square card reader in front of me, so I could pay my bill. I wasn’t even done dining yet nor did I ask for my bill. I totally felt rushed and unaccommodated. On the positive side of things, the guy who delivered my food the second round was nice and accommodating. He seemed like he could’ve been the owner. As far as the food, I ordered the bento box that consisted the cauliflower and lentil taco with the japanese black bean rice. The lentil taco (without the cotija cheese) was the best thing on the plate.Dietary restrictions: There are vegan options, just be sure to read the specifics on the menu, as the letter “V” could mean both vegan and vegetarian.

Bar seating. We were lucky to grab 2 seats as someone else was leaving. They are very good about checking on you and service was very quick.We both ordered bento boxes. 2 tacos and a side for $13.78. Not bad for lunch. That was enough for me. Husband ended up ordering 2 more curry beef tacos.I got the braised short rib taco, shrimp taco and cucumber side. All were very good. They give you some chips too that have seasoning on them. The chips were perfect to pick up anything that fell out of my tacos.Check in on yelp and got 10% off. But don’t do it until you are ready to pay. I checked in when we sat down but the server said we will do it later. When we were ready to pay, it said I couldn’t check in for another 4 hours. Thank goodness they let me use it. I did show it to him when we sat down.

I stopped for a quick bite here. Love they have vegan options, but the tortillas were not that great. It's a fusion taco spot, so def different than your normal tacos. I prob won't go back since they are not on their tortillas game ??‍♀️ the service was okay too. I dined in but my food was served in plastic to go boxes.

Absolutely loved this stand at Chelsea market. You must get the Japanese curry beef taco and the tuna tostadas. They offered a generous pour of rosé, and service was quick and friendly.

A great place where we had lunch. Friendly welcome, I recommend the detour. Atypical cuisine between Japanese and Mexican, quite well done. Really great. Don't be fooled by the quantity in the photos, I had already started ??

Tasty, quick bite & good service. We had some tacos, which were flavourful & a perfect small meal. The shells were soft & the tacos a little messy but soo good!Vegetarian options: I had the grilled Cauliflower taco with pineaple & Tofu taco with peppers. Both were good. There also was one with lentils. Otherwise other dishes could be made vegetarian but not too many options.Wheelchair accessibility: Not advised, very tight.

Curious fusion of Japanese and Mexican cuisine. Everything we had was pretty flavourful. I just couldn't have enough. The personel is very friendly and helpful, they're bilingual. The downside is that there's not enough seating available. Some seat on the stairs.

The waitress was a little rude, but maybe she was just having a bad day. The food was really good though, which is all I really care about at the end of the day. I would eat the curry beef taco every single day if I could.
