    It’s our favorite place to eat with our teenage boys. Food is consistently perfect! Never disappoints. The cucumber appetizer is unbelievable. I love the crunchy spicy tuna appetizer as well. And the cream cheese corn is delicious.

    We were there at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon and almost the only ones in the restaurant as a consequence there was no noise level. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. We had no real expectations for the menu so were pleasantly surprised. The spring rolls were very good but the best plate was the calamari by far. Two of us at pad Thai and it was excellent. Two had the shrimp vegetables. One commented that it was way too salty for her taste. The portions were very generous, enough left for following day lunches. We will return soon with visions of the best calamari we have had in a very long time.
