   Best new date spot for great food and vibes! First, shoutout to all the staff that made our anniversary dinner here special. Elliot, Tiffany thank you! Tiffany was our server and we basically picked all her recs off the menu and she did not miss. Everything was so delicious. Really great takes on Asian dishes.Some of our favs from the night: Evening Glory cocktail, wasabi prawns, Duck Salad, Sea Bass. The aesthetics of the interior are modern and clean. Very chic. But of course the best part was the staff and their service. We can’t wait to come back again! Thanks!

   We were thrilled to learn more about the restaurant. The food was amazing, and the service was impeccable. I have already told three people about the restaurant.

   We really enjoyed our meal. We did family style and ordered a few small dishes and they were all very good.

   This was one of the best meals I have had in a while. We went for my son's 21st birthday and all the staff was wonderful about it. Our server and the service we received were fantastic. While we enjoyed everything we ordered, these were the highlights: the crispy duck salad; both Xiao long bao (crab and truffle); crispy tiger prawns; tofu skin rolls. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back!

   Delicious food, selected with the help of our gracious server Hailey. The variety of the menu is noteworthy. The staff were professional and friendly. Floor manager Elliott was very welcoming and made us feel special. Enjoyed meeting the chef who couldn’t have been nicer. Unexpectedly beautiful surroundings, nicely done. All in all, a memorable experience and we look forward to returning!

   We visited this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. But this establishment doesn't acknowledge celebrations, so was a disappointment. The ambiance of the dining room is very nice and we enjoyed the decor. Unfortunately, our server was subpar. She was not friendly nor attentive and was standoffish. This pretty much ruined our experience at the restaurant especially since we spent a good amount of money here. Her personality was very dry. Never smiled. The food was good and would return for that. We had a good variety, and everything was tasty: Crispy Duck Salad (more duck than greens), Crab Xiao Long Bao, Beijing Dumplings, Crispy Tiger Prawns (wasn't crispy. more like steamed consistency), Roasted Duck Noodles, Oven Baked Chilean Seabass, and Stir Fried Wagyu Beef Cube.

   The owner was on site and very helpful and receptive. We have been to the restaurant numerous times and will certainly return many more times.
