    The vibe is really nice. It's great for those who love intimate settings or just hanging out with friends. My choice of the Asian Sticky Ribs was delicious, the sushi was ok not really a big burst of flavor that I would hope. My daughter enjoyed her Drunken Noodles and has deemed this restaurant as being placed on her Fav's list. The new owner is such a gem and so welcoming. We enjoyed our visit during what was one of the busiest days of Government St. "White Lights". She gave it a 9/10 only because one of the drinking glasses had food residue, but other than that it was good.

    Very limited parking so I would recommend carpooling! Love the decor and the vibe.

    We went for Ladies Night for their $20 special which was such a great deal. Service was great, our server was very patient with us and knew a lot about the menu. Food was pretty good but definitely on the expensive side on their normal priced menu.

    Highly recommend a reservation as we were seated almost immediately after checking in.

    Mediocre Asian restaurant with a lot of nice decor.

    This restaurant has been on my spouses list to try out for a free months so I figured let’s give it a try. We are both lovers of Asian inspired foods.

    Upon arrival the parking lot is super small. I looped around twice and went down the street to park. Wasn’t a fan to walk to the restaurant in the heat but I had worse experiences with parking at other places.

    Entering the place the host seemed like she needed some caffeine. She didn’t smile and spoke low. We were seated quickly. The dining tables are close together. The place is loud with everyone packed in one area talking plus a faded sound of music playing. We really couldn’t hear ourselves talk to one another unless we upped our voices a few yelling notches.

    Service was fast. So fast that the food wasn’t piping hot. The food didn’t seem freshly prepared.
    Our waitress was nice and informative on how to eat whatever food was on the menu.

    We started with the chef dumplings. Five small dumplings (good bite size) to share. The texture was there but it wasn’t hot like normal dumplings would have been. The flavor was more sweet with little heat.

    Entrées. I had the chicken tsoji which is suppose to be like chicken tso. I got the dish because it always a safe dish for me to try out a new Asian restaurant.
    The chicken was sweet again little heat no peppers in it and no real Asian vegetables. The fried ride wasn’t mixed well and not rooted into the meal.

    My spouse got two rolls, which they said was delicious. The miso soup is a bowl of dark miso lots of sodium, it didn’t seem it was mixed well with a broth or anything.

    Overall experience was more of a drinking restaurant then a dining restaurant. The drinking menu is quite lengthy. This place seems more of a casual get together and pre gaming before going out.

    I don’t recommend first dating here or celebrating intimate mile stones. But if you don’t care about food to much and prefer to drink your dinner go for it.

    This place has been on my list for a while and I finally made it! It was definitely worth the wait! The service was amazing and the food was awesome as well.

    Our waiter was super helpful! He made suggestions, explained the different dishes and and also answered our questions. He was super attentive and checked on us constantly!

    We went during happy hour to take advantage of the drink an appetizer specials so I started off with the mai tai which was really good!! The balance of alcohol and flavor was perfect for my taste.

    The appetizers we got were the the Szechuan chicken And the tempura shrimp roll. The Szechuan chicken was very flavorful . I especially loved the pickles that came with them. We also had the tempura shrimp roll which was as expected.

    I ordered the beef ramen which was okay but I got it with the miso butter by our waiter’s recommendation and I think that ruined it for me but I liked the beef. The broth wasn’t super hot which also made it a little less enjoyable.

    My guest had the general tsoji chicken and I tried it and it was reeeaaally good!! I’d definitely recommend that if you get it at Chinese restaurants.

    We also got two different desserts, the lemon pie and the eggrolls which came with two flavors, apple pie and cheesecake. They were my favorite!!! The lemon pie was good too, especially if you like key lime pie.

    If you look at the pictures the presentation was really nice too. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely return! Our waiter’s name was Zack, I think but he was amazing!!

    Our dining experience was top notch. The food was super delicious. Our waitress, Olivia, provided excellent service. We feasted on Asian sticky ribs, tempura cauliflower, lemon grass edamame, ceviche, drunken noodles and capped it off with beers! Highly recommend!
