The food types that we purchased are familiar however the quality and presentation are far beyond what one would typically be served at an Asian restaurant. Translate this is the best that you ever will have. Their pricing is also comparable. Do not pass this opportunity to dine here as this place is a keeper for a return. Their ambiance is truly beautiful and check out images.

Everything was absolutely delicious and our waiter was helpful and accommodating. If anything the menu is a bit rich overall - would have been nice to see some lighter salads or starters on the menu, or the option for half sized pastas, but otherwise extremely pleased with our first visit. Pizza was yummy and the pastas were excellent. We also tried a couple of desserts and both were delicious. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable
