Luis, our server and rest of the staff were awesome for our family New Year’s day lunch outing. The food is asian fusion so it wasn’t the best sushi or curry we’ve ever had but was still above average. However, the hummus and shrimp bao buns were a big hit with the family. The ambience outdoor is quite scenic with all the yachts on the river. This would be a fantastic value if the normal fixed price lunch menu was available.

Extraordinary things happen when actions and values align. This small, vibrant space served up subtle, sophisticated, mysteriously aromatic food, simply presented but described in detail by every person who came to our table. Crazy good food, pricey but reflective of its value-driven founders.

I absolutely love PaperFish! I’ve gone for a little over 3 years and the food has only gotten better. The salmon crispy rice is my favorite, always go for 4 pieces. We got the Salmon furai roll and Ebi Katsu roll, everything was really fresh and tasty. No dessert because honestly nothing caught our eye but all in all, 20/10 experience.
