This unobtrusive, tiny restaurant in North Beach offers a respite from the area’s domineering Italian spots with its Asian-American fusion fare. Interior touches are simple but attractive, with lime-and-grey colored walls dotted with black-and-white framed photos. The menu emphasizes fish dishes like deep fried salmon rolls with hot mustard and sea bass garlic noodles, and blackened mahi mahi with couscous. An extensive array of Chinese teas are also offered.
