It comes with two dipping sauces, but I think it would benefit from having sauce inside the burrito as well. The ingredients felt a bit dry without it. I also ordered a level 2 spice, which had no heat at all. Next time, I'd probably go with a 3 or 4. As a first-time visitor, I found the menu descriptions pretty lacking, especially when it came to the sauces. The descriptions are literally "signature sauce," "DC inspired," "white sauce," and "Michaels sauce." These descriptions mean nothing. Since you're choosing two, it would be helpful to know the general flavor profiles so you can make an informed decision. Menu and ordering kiosk had no photos of the food. Which seems like a simple improvement considering there are not a lot of food options to include photographs of. My fiancé ordered the chicken and waffles, which he loves, and I thought they were good even though that combination isn't really my thing. The waffle fries were fantastic, although adding them costs a bit much considering they don't come with the meal. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly enough. There was also a frequent alarm going off in the kitchen, which was a little jarring while dining inside. I'd come back and try the sandwich next time. Overall, the food was good, but better menu descriptions and a little more flavor in the burrito would go a long way.

Just one note that I really hope the restaurant sees, because it's been bothering me for a while: the chemical cleaners (maybe Fabuloso?) are on the strong side and linger even in the takeout containers. There's been a lot written about why non-scented disinfectant cleaners are better for restaurant use and I hope they reconsider.

When I arrived to pick up, there was a woman helping hand out orders. I told her my name, she hesitated, looked through order bags on shelf, found a bag and handed it to me. When I got back home and my son opened it up, he discovered it wasn't our order. Even the name on the bag was wrong. The only thing close was the persons name on the order was the same first letter as mine. Ugh, I had already driven an hour to get home and was disappointed in myself for being in a rush since late work day and another hour to get food home, that I didn't at least checking the name on the order - let alone the contents like I normally do. I reluctantly called the store to report I was given the wrong order, afraid it would be difficult to find a way to refund since I wasn't going to drive an hour back to store. As luck would have it, I spoke with Roberto. He was very apologetic and offered to redo my order and I could pick up again in the future. He gave me his number so that I could give him a heads up when it would be convenient to stop by and he would have it ready. Two days later I texted him and he had it ready for my son to pick up when he was in the area again. Was such a relief for it to work out this smoothly to correct a mistake. Although the order pickup was unfortunate - the resolution and accommodation to correct completely minimized the inconvenience. Thank you Roberto! I won't hesitate to order from there again - the food was cooked great!

I received my order promptly and it was accurate, but unfortunately it did not taste good. This was my first time at this location. I am hopeful that this was just a bad batch.

This why I would not recommend it for date night or as a dinner option before going to your next evening event. You won't noticed the smell while you hear, but shortly after you get into your car you'll start to notice. This makes me just want to get home, and immediately put clothes in washer and take a shower. They offer takeout, and that would be a solid option even if you're going to picnic nearby. This is a great locals type of place, and a few blocks away from King St. Dinning time limited to 1 hour, but that's probably enough time and as long as you're eating/ordering they probably don't mind.

We started with the yellowtail jalapeño and the black pepper tuna tataki. The yellowtail was absolutely the standout for me! The buttery texture of the fish and flavors complemented each other so well. The jalapeño with the ponzu just worked, and it all sat on a bed of what I believe was shaved radish that was sauced really nicely. Everything about that dish came together beautifully. The tuna tataki ran a little on the drier side for me... but I'm now remembering it may have came with a sauce that I completely forgot to use, so that one's on me LOL. We ordered a bunch of sushi for the table and got some really great options. The black dragon roll was really good, and the Kisso roll was very good too, though it's a deep fried roll and those just aren't my personal favorite style. My favorite roll of the night by far was the mermaid roll. Absolutely delicious! We also shared a couple of hand rolls. The spicy salmon was unlike anything I've had before: the salmon was finely ground and mixed with crunchies, which made for such a cool texture. Really enjoyed it! Next time I think I'd ask for a side of spicy mayo to dip it in, which I think would take it totally over the top. The Philadelphia hand roll was good as well, and you could tell the fish was super fresh, but the cream cheese ratio was a lot for me and threw off the balance a bit. Personal preference though, because the ingredients themselves were delicious! Overall such a lovely dinner. Fresh fish, great vibes, and a cute neighborhood to stroll around after. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area!

The drinks, in which we usually find refreshing, are super watered down and flavored with artificial syrups, making them undrinkable. We have left tossing multiple items, as they were just inedible.
