High quality, delicious food! The black pepper wagyu beef and orange chicken were tender and flavorful. Service was great even though they seemed short staffed. Randy, our server, was attentive and deserves a raise!! He was host, server, and bartender but kept a friendly, calm demeanor. Prices were high for the quantity, but it was so good we will definetely be back!

It’s a fun spot with tasty food at a moderately premium price. There is better Chinese food to be had in San Francisco, but the vibe here makes it worth the occasional trip. We had the chrysanthemum salad, which was very tasty and fresh though I didn’t much care for the dressing. It seemed a little bland to me. We had the xiao long bao, which I usually love. These were very tasty, but nothing special. The fat noodles were great. The sauce was a little sweet to my taste. The winner for me was the tofu clay pot with minced pork. Wonderfully spicy and full of interesting flavors, offset by the creamy creamy tofu. Really beautifully prepared.

A very chic spot. On the eighth floor, seemingly “above it all.” A worthy successor to the now closed Hakkasan.
