    Excellent date night. Food was tasty and inventive. The dumpling wrappers and the Malaysian noodles were a bit too thick and chewy for my taste but the flavors were amazing and really well blended. Excellent service. The best I’ve had in a really long time. Dishes were timed perfectly and they even gave us a complimentary anniversary dessert, which was our favorite dish of the night! Highly recommend.

    Always pleased and impressed with the food and service. I’m familiar with the menu and love the wonderful standbys! HHey how about some specials once in awhile that gives the opportunity to try some new dishes too!ave the pork belly buns….omg wonderful! The acorn squash tempura was fantastic! Korean galbi good but I would prefer the galbi veggies on the side…cooled the meat down too fast but still so delicious!

    We had a great dinner last night. The Chinese Negroni and Citrus Blossom were delicious. Soup dumplings as appetizers and Kimchi rice with pork belly were very tasty.
