Their spot prawn toast is a seasonal special and it features chopped spot prawn tartar layered over toasted white bread with a bisque crafted from roasted spot prawn shells. It is absolutely divine and a must order.

Everything here is made with so much love and intention and you can really taste the difference. This little gem in Lower Lonsdale is a great little spot for brunch every single day!

Whether you’re at their Brentwood location, Richmond, Park Royal, Robson or even Toronto you can always expect a spectacular visit with delicious fresh hand rolls made to order. Crispy seaweed, warm rice and delicious fillings. My definition of girl dinner.
