I had such a great experience here! The Mango Tango Roll was easily the highlight of my meal—spicy crab and avocado topped with mango, salmon, tobiko, and a little extra jalapeño made it the best roll I’ve had to date. It was so fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.I also tried the chicken, shrimp, and broccoli in brown sauce, which was very tasty and satisfying. The pork stir-fried rice, on the other hand, wasn’t really for me. While it had good ingredients like onions, carrots, peas, egg, and basil, the basil flavor was too strong and overpowered the other ingredients.I also ordered a drink (I can’t remember the name) that was really good and paired nicely with everything.On top of the food, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, I’d definitely come back, especially for that Mango Tango Roll! - Melissa Ann
