Tasty food from different tropic themed places such as Hawaii, Japan, Philippines. It was packed when we went there, and I think they were understaffed, but it took a while for us to get service (but our server was very kind and friendly and helpful)....Read More

Great food…but expect a different twist on things. Not your normal flavors but in a good way! Flavors like wasabi in potato salad just sound like crazy mixes but definitely tasted amazing. Strong drinks too! Will definitely go back to keep exploring the menu.

Service was friendly but a bit uneven, but the food and drinks were great. They make their own syrups, use quality ingredients, and clearly care about doing it right. Make sure you check out their speakeasy, X.
