Through our menu, consisting of approachable dishes like ramen and chicken katsu and a diverse sushi selection with fish from around the world, our guests are encouraged to embrace the customary Asian approach of shared dishes. Also, our elegant yet approachable cocktail program combines the flavors of Southeastern Asian cuisine, with a touch of tiki. These cocktails are "Must Tries"!!

    My grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. I tried their cosmo and was satisfied. Not the best, but still yummy. I was a little surprised at the limited punch bowl selection but really enjoyed the Main Squeeze. However, the ice to drink ratio was a little off. There was a lot of ice, which made pouring the punch into the cup very messy. I loved the vibes at this place. Very lively and a lot of activities to keep you entertained. Be prepared to drop some coin, though.

    This was not a good night for Cru. They were short on wait staff and struggling to keep up. Even so, we enjoyed our visit and our meal. We always do. Food never disappoints and a beautiful location in the heart of the Domain. What saved the experience for us was our server, JADE. She was wonderful and doing her best in a stressful situation. If it had not been for her cheerfulness, kindness and service we probably would have left early without being served. Thank you JADE for saving our evening.
