The scallop burger consists of two perfectly pan-fried sashimi-grade scallops, piquant pico de gallo and Japanese mizuna (mustard greens). The scallops were fresh and sweet, cooked perfectly with the seared flavour really coming through. 

For the soft-shelled crab option, an entire crab is deep-fried and sits atop a bed of red cabbage slaw. The shell was light and crispy, revealing a soft and fleshy interior.

Both orders of fries were delicious. Although unsightly, we preferred the sweet potato fries to the regular fries.

Verdict: great little burger place with a storefront that's perfect for makeshift photoshoots. Love the retro American diner vibe of this place.
