Noise level: Moderate during peak hours—conversation-friendly on the patio, livelier inside.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, especially for patio tables.
Weekday lunch: Usually minimal wait before 12:15pm.

Vegetarian options: Yes—several poke bowls and appetizers can be made vegetarian on request.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 plant-based bowls and sides available; staff can guide substitutions.
Gluten-free options: Yes—many seafood dishes and bowls are gluten-free with tamari substitutions and separate prep care.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual lunch or low-key evening date than a romantic dinner—bright setting and steady flow of families.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are fine for lunch or early dinner; later peak hours benefit from reserving via OpenTable.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—high chairs, a kids’ menu, and wide patio paths make it ideal for families with toddlers to tweens.
