Candy Luk Assorted Sashimi Platter
The Large Assorted Sashimi Platter was generously sized with a great variety of the freshest sashimi including salmon, tuna, kingfish, scallops & 2 oysters, all exquisitely presented. It is a must order dish in my opinion and very well priced.
Ingrid Norris Karaage Chicken
karaage coating was absolutely perfect and chicken very moist
