Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book a table in advance?

Yes, booking ahead is strongly recommended. The dining room is intimate with only about half a dozen tables, so seating fills up quickly.

How long does dining in usually take?

Expect a relaxed pace. Dishes are prepared to order in a small kitchen, and diners note that serving times can be deliberate, especially when the dining room is full.

What are the portion sizes like?

Portions are modest and styled around delicate, made-to-order courses and bento combinations rather than all-you-can-eat or heavy sizing, so plan your order accordingly if you have a larger appetite.

Can I order meals for takeaway?

Yes, takeout and delivery orders can be placed, making it easy to enjoy bento boxes, curries, and sushi at home.
