We started with the duck nachos, which were crispy, savory, & layered with flavor. It's a fun twist on traditional nachos and perfect for sharing! For our entrées we both ordered the ribeye, and it was excellent!! Cooked perfectly (medium for me), tender, and full of flavor without needing much extra. You can tell they put care into the quality of the steak. The ambiance really ties the whole experience together. The space has a warm, stylish feel with lighting that creates a cozy but elevated vibe. It felt like the perfect place for a date night or a relaxed but nice dinner out. Overall, great food and a great atmosphere. Pro tip: Don't skip the duck nachos--they're a must-order to start your meal!!

Also, plan ahead for parking, it's street parking, and it may take some time to find a spot. It took me a while to find one within walking distance. We ordered the pan-seared salmon, which was incredibly juicy and flavorful, you could really taste the seasoning. We also had the Mongolian ribeye, and it was just as amazing. I've included pictures for reference. We did switch up the sides with the Mongolian ribeye. I'll definitely be back!

She's an amazing bartender--super friendly, helpful with recommendations and kept the space spotless. She turned a 4-star meal into a 5-star experience. * Fish Quality: The sushi and fish quality were impressively fresh. * The Rolls & Ramen: Both rolls recommended by the Bianca were well above average and the ramen exceeded my expectations. * The Rice (Shari): A bit of a letdown. The rice was too mushy/wet and the portion of rice per piece was way too large. * Pork Bao: Not worth the mention (or a photo). Skip this one. Verdict: 5/5 stars. Mostly thanks to Bianca's top-tier hospitality. Solid Japanese spot in the heart of Downtown.

It was pretty pack but was able to grab a couple of seats at the bar and was immediately attended to. I really loved the atmosphere of this place as it's in an old building and i always love the exposed brick in these restaurants. We ordered a couple of sushi rolls with me ordering the cyclone and my wife ordering a salmon roll and they were very delicious. I love to explore new restaurants and this was definitely a winner

My drink order was taken (water) and my server, who answered all of my questions, was very patient and pleasant. For my appetizer, I ordered the spring rolls. They were freshly made and came out hot and crispy. I enjoyed them and would order them again. Now the main course. I opted for the spicy Himalayan chicken, medium heat. I love spicy food, and I thought I was doing the right thing by ordering the medium level. However, it was very spicy! I did notice however, that the longer it sat, the level evened out some. Still, on my next visit, I will try the mild level to compare. The dish was delicious and very flavorful. The white rice added just the right amount of coolness to the chicken and veggies. Upon leaving, I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken in mild. I'm not sure if it's because it's a totally different flavor profile, but the mild has very little spicy. I just can't believe it's that much difference between the mild and medium levels. The drunken noodles were just okay, in my opinion. There was not a lot of juice, spice not flavor in this dish. On my next visit, I will stick with the Himalayan chicken and order it in mild just to test out my theory. The workers were very friendly and came by to check on me and made small talk with all of their customers, including me. I enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning again

I got ti try a bit of everything on their combo plate, which had chicken wings, fried rice, and more! Everything was very well seasoned, hot, and tasty.

This truck is another great addition to the Bham food scene. Catch them when you can!
