Decent food. High price point for not being the best beef Quality. Rare shouldn't come out medium rare. Sides were great. Dumpling dough needs work. Cooked Dough too chewy even if crispy. Service checked their boxes, but lack personal touch. Hence all around 4. your Reviews of hit or miss makes sense. Had a hit experience. Will be back, but will skip porterhouse for 2 next time. Don't mind spending 500 for 2, but rushing diners when place is empty is odd. And lack personal touch.
