Gift Tips
- Order the uni with quail egg if available — it’s a memorable two-piece item that many diners single out as special.
- Try the Magic Mushroom roll or other vegetarian options; the kitchen has several well-executed meat-free dishes including a popular tofu steak.
- Consider sharing a few sashimi selections to sample the fish variety — items like salmon and fluke are noted for their clean flavors.
- Ask about outdoor seating when booking; the restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor areas, and the front patio stays comfortable on cool nights.
- Mention Daryl at the host stand when you arrive — the front-of-house team is attentive and can help the evening flow smoothly.
- Make a reservation when possible, especially for busy evenings, since the dining room and patio areas can fill up quickly.
