First time dining here, my daughter chose for her 13th birthday. All the staff we encountered were very polite and they even brought my daughter a cupcake for her birthday

Lovely evening at rooftop with friends. We shared 6 apps and some wine and cocktails. Food was fresh and tasty - service was quick and attentive. Dumplings were standout - not so much the truffle fries (no truffle taste) and the pork belly was a little underwhelming. But we enjoyed our time.

Chicken Karaage was dry, was expecting higher quality dish. Also, they use thigh/dark meat so quality was not the best. Salmon and short ribs tasted like airline food, premade and not a lot of flavor. The only thing we enjoyed was the drinks. Was expecting better quality food. Service was just okay. Could have checked in on us more often. Appetizer order didn’t start until way after, so we were just sitting there wondering where our waiter went.

I was told this place was great so I made reservations for me and my friend visiting from Arizona. This place did not disappoint! The seating hostesses was friendly upon arrival. Service was great throughout the dining experience. Love the vibe! Everything on the menu looked yummy 😋. I had the salmon and my friend had pasta with shrimp. Both were delicious. Drinks were delicious had the huckleberry sunset. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

We had a party of 11 and we arrived early and were seated quickly. The staff was very attentive and accommodating when we added two more seats to our reservation. The food was delicious we started with calamari it was breaded but bread fell off. The calamari was cooked perfectly. We ordered dumplings and pork belly and I could eat that all day! We ordered ribeye steak and pulled pork over mashed potatoes and veggies and a side of Brussel sprouts. All of our food was perfect. Some people ordered cocktails and they all were tasty! Overall food was terrific. We sat inside so no view. I would love to go back so we can check out the view. Unfortunately we were unable to explore as there was a private party. It’s pricey but great spot for a date night or celebration
