We’ve got a big menu change in the works. You tried our Mango Sticky Rice last week this week we are trying out our Korean Honey Mustard made with Karashi Hot Mustard, Honey, and a bit of sesame oil. This is not your average honey mustard sauce 😓New flavors, new appetizers, and bowls to rock in this fall season coming soon!
