The food was good, but maybe a bit simple for the price. Protein is not included in most entrees, which makes it more expensive. Portion sizes are smaller than normal. The place is cozy, and the service is good, but we suspect they had some staff shortage issues. The AC didn’t seem to be working as it got quite hot inside.
This place was very busy! I’m very pleased we made reservations. That said, the food was fine, but not special. I also didn’t like being rushed out of the table, which the server did seconds after we paid the bill.
Love this place. Good service and hip environment. Food was delicious. A must try chili crab noodles, steak tartare with sesame aioli, duck breast and salt and pepper squid. Definitely will come back again in the future and sample other dishes.
