Experience
2nd Language

Southeast Asian culinary traditions come to life at the hands of our local creators at this downtown Evansville location. Every dish is crafted with the finest house-made ingredients, inviting you to savor a delicious collision of cultures—from authentic ramen and savory rice bowls to Japanese-inspired steamed buns and signature house-made desserts. Our open concept space allows guest to settle into the sight and aroma of our kitchen, while our cocktail bar offers an elevated atmosphere for the evenings.
