            Amazing cocktails, amazing food. What a great dinner! We got the Khao Soi with lamb and Blue crab fried rice- both were sooooo good! Delicious prawn cakes for an appetizer, but bummed they were sold out of the one we wanted (duck rolls). We got dessert to go but had a bite of each. The young coconut cake was excellent, but the strawberry cake was just okay. Not much strawberry flavor, extremely light, and almost tastes sugarless. A jam/preserve/curd layer would make it better, or a more flavorful frosting, or a strawberry sauce on the side. So glad we went there for Valentines Day- we’ll definitely be back!

            The food was fresh and excellent. Very gourmet fusion of flavors. We were squeezed in on a table at first and they were very accommodating and gracious about moving us to a better, roomier table. Service by Tong was great. We will come again.

            Food tasted great, service was very slow. We didn’t get our drinks we ordered for almost 40 minutes. Our food came out 90 minutes after we ordered. One of our appetizers never arrived, even after we asked about it.

            The food was as good as usual--flavorful and generously proportioned. It came out of the kitchen quickly and hot. The server was very friendly and attentive which was nice.

            New Year’s Eve experience. Very slow in getting meal out but food was good. Very noisy! Overpriced. Relatively small serving for the price. Charged $2.50 for ice in the cocktail drink?! Parking an issue! Restaurant was cold. Needed to wear a coat or sweater. Recommend making reservation. Appreciate the unique menu. Makes up for some of the downgrade. Good for a special occasion.
