   We’ve dined here so many times but this time their ribs wasn’t good at all! it disappointing cuz they were so good the last time we ate here. They change how it was before, not even fall off the bones & the meat is tougher, but the BBQ pork bun is so GOOD!

   The food was excellent and our server was great. He explained everything and all of his recommendations were spot on. It is so rare to find a server who is so in tune with his customers. I would come back just for the service alone. I had the salmon and it was the best I had in a long time and I eat Salmon all the time! My sister had the chicken which the server described perfectly.

   I’ve gone 4 times. The first was so sobs but I went back. The next two were very good. I was disappointed. It was a busy week in SF with JP Morgan conference so it was crowded as everyone expected. We were seated in an overflow room which is essentially a building lobby. The server showed up after around 15 minutes and around that schedule. Very frustrating for lunch when you need to go to work. Half the food was good - corn bread,, chicken sandwich, soup . However, the beef and chicken bowls were lacking. Especially the chicken which was an overdone chicken leg which I would have never ordered if it was described as bone in chicken leg.

   They were out of several top items at our 7:15 dinner, wouldn’t substitute rice rice for potatoes-the waiter said he had to ask the chef-never returned with an answer, and dish served by another person who said they ran out of rice, or didn’t make it that day-although it’s on the menu. Salmon dishes came out lukewarm, it took 20 minutes to get our drink order, there was a party going on in the bar area with screaming and crazy loud noise, and the restrooms were dirty and out of TP in ladies room. Very disappointing and would not return or recommend-way over priced for such a poor experience. Also, the Mai Tai drink in the SPAM can that is highlighted on the website is no longer available-false advertising. Very disappointed!

   Fantastic!! The humus, short rib and brussel sprouts were delicious. Friendly attentive service made it perfect. Immediately booked another reservation.

    20% autograt on holiday buffet with cold meats, just ok food. With drinks, we paid over $400 for 2 people. Very overpriced.
