The sauce is so nutty and tasty and goes perfectly with the tuna and mixed greens.\n\nRock Crab Croquettes - it's their version of crab cakes but they deep fry the croquettes (4) and they arrive at your table piping hot. They're delicious! - reminds me of my beloved dungeness crabs back home. \n\nShrimp and Spicy Coconut Sauce with crushed peanuts - this is pretty good. It's very similar to Thai food.\n\nHangar Steak with bean salad in bleu cheese & miso dressing - both times I've had it it's been a little tough and very chewy. The bean salad (scattered around the steak on a long rectangular plate) drenched in the dressing is quite good.\n\nDESSERTS\nWe ordered the Sample Platter. I'm glad we did because we were able to try some really interesting desserts. This Platter is perfect for two people.\n\nYuzu (Japanese Citrus Fruit) Panna Cotta - a little more firm than normal panna cotta. Didn't really taste the citrusy fruit. But it was very good. It kind of reminded me of a smoother version of cheesecake without the graham cracker crust. It also had a drizzle of some berry compote.\n\nStrawberry Spring Roll w/Honey ginger ice cream - I really liked the spring roll. It was nice and hot and I think there was some sweetened sticky rice in it as well. I'm a big fan of ginger but for some reason I didn't like the ice cream.\n\nHoney Black Sesame Creme Brulee - this was not my favorite but it was interesting. The creme wasn't super creamy but had a little texture to it. The color of the creme was a dark charcoal grey and tasted like smokey sesame. It's a clever idea but not something I would try again.\n\nKabocha (Japanese pumpkin/squash) Cheesecake - pumpkiny cheesecake with cinnamon or nutmeg with maple syrup lining the plate was my favorite."^^ . . .
