    I left feeling really confused about this place because it didn’t seem to know what it wanted to be. The restaurant has three completely different rooms—one with live jazz, another with random décor—and the whole vibe felt mismatched. The menu was just as all over the place: one side was sushi rolls, the other side Thai and Chinese dishes. We ordered the chicken satay with Thai flavors and a couple of rolls. The food was solidly mediocre, nothing memorable, and the rolls were on the pricier side. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but I honestly don’t understand the hype—maybe people come for the sushi boat? I’m not sure. I don’t think I’d go back.
