I'd gone there wanting to try the mango strawberry shaved ice but decided to try the pineapple coconut. I selected to eat in decompress the day. The wait was minimal. My shaved ice arrived and reminded me of shaved ice I've had in Hawaii. It was light, flavorful, and DELISH. Just what I needed to end a hectic day. I'll be back to try other flavors as well as one of the many beverages.

It is much finer and airy than what our shaved ice machine at home can do. All the flavors we got were amazing. We also got the dulce de leche, strawberry shortcake, cloud candy.

There isn't much parking on the lot but that's why the side streets exist. I opted for a large. Combo of black cherry, wild cherry, and sour cherry. I felt there wasn't enough contrast between sour and wild cherry. Next time I'll go medium and get black cherry, lemonade or limeade, and sour cherry. The only thing I'd change: The styrofoam. It's 2019. Even if you have to raise prices by a quarter or fifty cents a size. Even if it doesn't insulate as well. No styrofoam. Just consider it. Thanks!

We enjoyed the pork steamed buns immensely, especially with the wide array of sauces and seasonings...I thought the spicy pepper water (apologies for not recalling its proper title, but you'll know what I mean when you see it) was the best pairing for the fluffy, doughy goodness in those buns. I am a musubi connoisseur--these might have been my all time favorites; I got mine with egg and gochujang. Do that. Thank me later. My lady had the salmon poke...we've struggled to find good poke in the Midwest, but Buzz came through in spades! My loco moco was near perfect...I felt the gravy needed a teensy bit more salt, but that was easily adjusted. All in all, catch a sunny day on the super inviting back patio and you will not regret it. Next time we're in STL, we will definitely be back!

BUT entering, there was like, no aloha spirit, the vibes were so off, the music selected wasn't even, at least modern Island reggae, and the lights were really dim. That is outside of the HUGE wait times of DoorDash orders coming through and stalling the people waiting in line to order. The staff were working HARD to get through the line, but they were just overworked. We got an order of garlic shrimp that came with rice, mac salad, and a pineapple slice for some reason. We also ordered the Poke Bomb Flight which is fried tofu skins filled with rice and topped with poke. The Poke Bomb Flight, or inari, was pretty good! I liked the flavor of the poke and it was a great one bite situation. The garlic shrimp however was small - like not even plate lunch servings. It was 5 pieces of shrimp, two small scoops of rice, and mayo heavy mac salad. They must be doing something right though with all those DoorDash orders, but we won't be coming back to try more.

After contacting them, they apologized profusely, explaining the situation and took complete responsibility for the mix-up, no excuse making. I hadn't paid yet and it was such a small order, I figured if I ended up not getting it, "Oh well." They didn't feel the same way. They worked around their already booked day to get me my order and I felt like I was being treated the same as if I had spent hundreds of dollars, making my order a priority. Upon arrival, they waived the delivery fee for my trouble. Yes, there was a mistake, but they knew how to make up for it. The ices were delicious, smooth and creamy with lots of flavor. Will definitely use again.

This is the BEST restaurant that I've been to in STL so far!!…read more First, the service was absolutely wonderful. Our server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to our table. The food was purely amazing: - The Sake Sashimi was absolute chef's kiss (rate: 10/10). The fresh sashimi in the ginger mint sauce left us speechless, the salsa gave a fresh and fruity burst of flavor, and even the fried chips on top had a ton of flavor! - The Isaan Hamachi (rate: 9.5/10) was also a must! I first tried the candied garlic on top, and it was truly sweet with only a hint of garlic. The yellowtail was also super fresh, and the coconut sauce brought out even more flavor from the yellowtail (and masked any fishy taste)! - The Massachusetts Scallops (rate: 9.5/10) was one of the best scallops I've ever had. Topped with crab and combined with the pea puree, everything complemented each other so well. There were only two scallops, but they were large and super filling. - The Shrimp Toasts had layers and layers of flavor (rate: 9/10)! The shrimp was inside of the toast, creating a super umami flavor, and then the light and fruity topping and sauce, along with the thin slice of cucumber, truly made this a party in my mouth. - The Chili Garlic Noodles were super nutty and so good (rate: 8/10)! The noodles were slightly spicier than expected, but the spice was a quick burst of flavor, so the spice didn't overpower the dish at all. The noodles were mixed with vegetables and topped with a crunch - definitely make sure to mix before eating to get the different textures and flavors in each bite! We also got cocktails (Pretty in Pink & Sands in the Sun), and both were really yummy. Last, we got a dessert - homemade ice cream by the Sous Chef that day: soy ice cream with red bean! Flavors were all subtle but together they created such a unique and beautiful end to the meal. Came here for my birthday, and I will certainly be returning!

We sat down and used the QR code on the table bc that was suggested. It wasn't packed so we didn't have trouble finding a place to sit. Seemed pretty chill. Few waiters and waitresses walking around. We were given waters and told if we needed help to let them know. From the menu, I believe we had limited options due to some things being sold out. So we went with the brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. The sides were Mac n cheese, black beans, and potato salad. The sandwiches were good. The meat was tender for both. The pulled pork came with slaw however the sauce made it a good choice. The sides were decent. Mac n cheese was good with a lil spice, the potato salad and black beans were ok (beans had a sweet taste i wasn't expecting and the potato salad wasn't flavorful enough for my taste). I would like to try the ribs next time, and if anything, I would go there just for sandwiches.

I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and the Mac n cheese for an up charge. I was able to nibble off my husband's order of baked black beans. The beef brisket was okay. I liked the 'salsa-que' and the flavor. It needed to be chopped more. The potato salad was a bit bland. Large red potatoes, cooked through, but not blended well to complement each other. The Mac n cheese was decent. I did enjoy the baked black beans. Was quite unique. I would like to return and try an order of the ribs one day. They looked pretty good. The menu itself had several options that did sound tasty. Check it out for yourself!
