We came straight home and started developing recipes.” Bowls offered include ahi tuna with sesame oil, avocado, and nori; citrus ponzu salmon with yuzu, chili orange, and fried garlic; and Sriracha shrimp with creamy lava sauce, avocado, and radicchio. The dish is available Monday through Friday during lunch hours.
