What to Order
Sable Nigiri
This unique nigiri features sablefish, a less common but highly prized fish, known for its buttery umami flavor.
"I especially enjoyed the shrimp mayo, sable fish and engawa nigiri. They had a buttery umami flavour profile that was very enjoyable."
Mochi Neko
Aburi Salmon
Lightly seared salmon nigiri, offering a delicate smoky flavor that complements the fresh fish.
"Must have anytime we are there: Sable nigiri and aburi salmon. Scallop sashimi."
Gia-Linh Chau
Duck Udon
A comforting and flavorful noodle soup featuring tender duck, especially popular during colder months.
"Loved the duck udon and they have high quality sashimi (like chuutoro, king salmon etc) that rotates on availability."

Zangi Bento
A bento box featuring perfectly cooked Zangi chicken, known for its crispy exterior and juicy interior.

Inside Scoop
- Reservations are essential due to the very small, intimate dining space (around 10-16 seats).
- Check their Instagram or in-store for weekly specials, as the online menu isn't always complete.
- The chefs are right in the room with you, offering a very authentic Japanese sushi joint experience.
- Be prepared for sushi traditionally made with wasabi inside, which might be a surprise if you're not used to it.
- While takeout is an option, the restaurant is not ideally set up for it, and dine-in is highly recommended for the full experience.
