The experience is upscale casual rather than formal. It suits diners looking for Japanese food without losing the Goa setting. Order around the strengths: nigiri sushi for the sushi side, yakitori for grilled depth, ramen for a fuller bowl, and signature dishes such as Hamachi truffle ponzu or seared scallops.
