Food was good and unique. Dow side was we felt rushed even before we arrived. Our appetizer and meal came at the same time and both came before my cocktail. We didn’t order dessert and recently bed the bill less than an hour after we sat down. If you are in a hurry before a show great otherwise chill a bit.

Food and waiter were fantastic. The managers or owners of the restaurant did not seem very warm or accommodating when asked to be seated somewhere specifically. Overall, food was great and our waiter Parker was very nice and helpful with menu options.

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed it. The food was just as we expected. The fusion was incredible. We had dumplings and Korean kimchi over tots for a shareable. For main course we had the pork belly Bowl and the ginger and chicken plate. Our waitress really didn't explain the menu that well and the plate was much smaller and not that large of a meal. The waitress was also the bartender and she prepared a great old fashioned and a heavy pour of wine for my wife. He'll definitely come back. We enjoyed it and now we understand the menu a little bit better but it would have been nice if the waitress would have explained it to us.

Best dumplings in town! We LOVE this spot for a fun/cozy date night. Also a great spot to bring people in larger groups, they have seating that accommodates both large and small parties. The white pepper chicken and the pork belly bao are must orders. As always, we’ll be back!
