    I brought company here before we watched Wicked at ASU Gammage. I looked the menu up before we arrived and knew there were a couple things I wanted to try. When we arrived we noticed there were also some specials "themed" after the musical and got excited. I had the Thai peanut noodle salad and added steak. Very much enjoyed it, but a little warning if you don't like spicy don't get this. My daughter had the miso salmon, also atop a noodle salad. She was able to eat the salmon and said it was very good, but the noodles were too spicy for her. My friend had the sweet fuji apple salad with chicken and did say it was very good (she finished the entire plate so I don't think she was lying). I also added the crispy brussels and they were very good. I would have liked to try the steak special, but I could not stomach getting a $60 steak dinner I knew I could not finish or take home since we had the show to attend after. Also, would have liked to try the buttercake for dessert....
