In Short
Warm wood tones and the aromas of ginger and curry greet patrons at the door. A small waiting area is rarely enough space for the line of young locals who often spill onto the sidewalk. The menu easily surfs through several Asian cuisines. Start with delicately flavored Vietnamese spring rolls served with rich, nutty mustard sauce, or crisp, golden Japanese gyoza. Wide, chewy hot pepper noodles is a hearty entree with a nippy after-bite.
