Review
While we’d love to try it all, we’re only here for the Sushi Tree Roll and Mochi Donut Wrap. (A snack and treat–the best combination!)
Sushi Tree Roll and Mochi Donut Wrap
We started with the Sushi Tree Roll which was $7.50. It’s a Christmas tree-shaped sushi roll with krab meat and cream cheese topped with ikura salmon roe and spicy mayo. (How festive is this snack?!)
The sushi was super fresh, soft, and perfectly cooked–everything you’d hope for! It tasted like a California Roll–just with crab meat and cream cheese. The spicy mayo was a great topping and wasn’t overpoweringly spicy. We’d definitely get this one again!

Mochi Donut Wrap
The rice sheet was slightly sweet and very chewy–almost gummy. The strawberry sauce and red beans balanced out the sweet dough nicely.
