Tidbit of the Week: 

Let me introduce you to my decade (yes!! 10 whole years!!) long restaurant crush in Wilmington

Owners Susan (Thai) and Jason (Taiwanese) have blended their family recipes to create an INSANELY good menu with authentic recipes. You can’t go wrong with any of their sushi rolls, and the Panang Curry & General Tso’s are AMAZING.

Push them to the top of your date night list, you won’t be disappointed!
