Brianna was an absolute joy - she was fun, friendly, and entertaining and made everyone feel welcome and we all had such a great time ! Her karaoke was great as she engaged with the customers and the music was a mix of old hip hop and new pop. Something for everyone - we will definitely be back!

I booked a reservation a week prior, also was confirmed twice (the day before and day of) but showed up for my reservation and was turned away because of a comedy show they did not notify me of. The management clearly needs help.

Made a reservation, only to arrive and be told that a private "Paint and Sip" event was occupying the entire back dining area. We were told we could sit at the bar (after people at the event gave us some very weird looks and an employee told us she wasn't even sure if we were allowed to be in there). It felt pretty uncomfortable, like we were intruding and somehow were expected to know this was happening prior to our arrival. When a private event is going on, you shouldn't allow customers to place online reservations that you can't fulfill. It's really that simple. That said, the decor and ambiance were adorable, so I'll try to return another day. Hopefully another private event doesn't keep me out again.

We absolutely loved the experience!! The food was excellent and the service was spot on! This visit was for a birthday celebration and the Mochi Donut "cake" was the best!! The best mochi donut I've ever had. Literally! We will definitely go back to try some other offerings; especially the different types of alcohol bubble teas! :)

Fun addition to the upper West side. Check out the hidden speakeasy in the back behind the pink telephone booth. Great drinks, delicious, food and karaoke! A perfect place for a small party and don’t forget to have a mochi doughnut! They rock.
