Their international menu which specializes in Pan - Asian cuisine ( their spring rolls and sushi combos are excellent ) , as well as French / Italian offerings ensures culinary satisfaction for all diners . The salads and pizzas are fresh and innovative , while the entrees such as the Mabu Grilled Chicken with potato puree and a deliciously rich mushroom sauce and the Salmon Teriyaki served with saut ed spinach and mushrooms both demonstrate the chef ’ s expert touch .
