Tea

We went to MoCA for a dinner date, and could not have been more pleased. We srrived a bit early but were seated right away. The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the edamame dumplings, which were wonderful, but appeared to have meat in them, which we did not expect. We assumed edamame dumplings would be vegetarian. But we liked them very much! One of us ordered the sashimi combo and one of us ordered the sushi and sashimi combo. The presentation was some of the most beautifully-arranged food we've ever eaten. The fish was fresh and beautiful and delicious. We didn't order dessert, however, because the dessert options sounded a bit ordinary. I'm sure they're delicious, they just didn't pique our curiosity. The prices were a tad higher than we typically pay for sushi, but I'd absolutely return there for another special occasion.

The valentine's day afternoon tea is absolutely cute by theme and it honestly filled me up when I had it. Everything was cutely decorated and the taste of the sweets and savory bites were balanced.

The food and flavorings were very good. Service was great and mixed drinks were spicy and fun. We went there for brunch and the menu was very reasonable. We had the Dan Dan noodles and Brussels sprouts. Amazing combination!

All of the appetizers were great -- gyoza, crispy rice ahi! The duck ramen, just so so. Bland broth, fatty meat and hard to eat when it's in the ramen bowl but still on the bone. It's pretty there and the service is great, so I'll go back but just order a bunch of apps!
