Lunch dishes are in the $9 to $16 range. At dinner, main courses are $14 to $25. Omakase, or chef’s choice dinners, are $100, $150, $200 and $300.
Overall, the bistro’s cuisine takes in fare such as coconut seafood chowder, satays, chicken lettuce wraps, calamari “steak,” tuna poke, Kobe meatballs, king crab pizza, steamed sea bass, General Tso’s chicken, orange beef, pad thai, Kumamoto oysters tataki, seafood-stuffed avocado, and traditional sushi and sashimi.
