   Our whole experience was amazing. We had been to this location before & impressed with everyone and how great from the service was to the chef for us. It was for a bday celebration for our 14yr old daughter. So I was grateful that it was seamless and so accommodating for our family ! Thank you !

   Employees were lovely, food was good. We had to wait an hour past our reservation time for the chef to arrive, cocktail was weak, esp for the $17 price tag. When I made the reservation, I noted my food allergies. There was not good communication about these and a chef who came to our table by mistake served me 2 sauces I couldn't have. When our chef came, he began prepping my veggies first and accidentally used an ingredient I can't have and had to start over. I ordered one main dish I could have not realizing that a food I'm allergic to would be included.

   Had an awesome time. The fried rice was probably the best I’ve had. It’s a really fun spot if you’re looking for good vibes, good food, and a little bit of a show. Definitely coming back!
