A unique dish that is popular and that you might not find anywhere else is the BBQ squid.

It’s really popular as a dish and so many customers tell us that they never tried BBQ squid at other buffets or restaurants.

In order to get fresh ingredients for some of their specialty items like sushi, they have a truck that comes from New York twice a week to deliver what they need.

Future plans for the restaurant plan include getting their bar up and running sometime soon.
