Always a favorite. Consistently good food and service. Was noisy this time because it was filled to capacity, so understandable.

Pizza is especially excellent but everything we had was delicious. We ate at the bar, where the bartenders are talented and very attentive. Thank you, Igor! Pasta was a little too al dente but they replaced it quickly with a properly cooked serving that was on the house. A wonderful overall experience. Beautiful space…a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. We appreciated the service orientation of everyone and will be back soon. Grazie!

A small and kicky Cantonese fusion restaurant in Chinatown. A bit difficult to get an earlier dinner reservation but well worth it. Claypot rice and pig head chili cold appetiser are amazing.

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
