Smaller portions of flavorful food served family style. Order a few plates (or a lot) and share with your friends. My favorites are the hamachi with herbs, bok choy and sweet potatoes. For a more mature palate, so be mindful if you’re taking children, you may want to order sauces or extra seasonings on the side.
