    Outstanding food and service. Angela our server was impeccable. Everything we got from the appetizers to the entrees was unique and delicious. Sorry no food pics we demolished everythjng! Must get the wings! Get 2 orders that’s how good! Sashimi platter 100%! Dragons Breathe roll 100%! Adobo fried rice.. it will get you pregnant it’s that good. If there is live music and you want to talk at your table ask to sit in the back… it’s not bad it’s just a loud vibe. This is a must try.

    Food and service were above average. Our server did forget about one entree which came out late. Otherwise all good. A couple ways to improve the wine experience. The bottle of red we ordered was warm. Red wine should be stored at around 56 degrees and served slightly chilled at around 65 degrees. Also the stemless wine glasses were quite large and hard to handle. A glass with a smaller profile or a stem would be better. We will be back.

    This is the 3rd time going to this restaurant and the service is extremely slow, for example our reservation was at 7 p.m. we didn't get our 1st drink until 8:20 p.m. we tried to be patient but the waitress didn't even come to greet us at the table once we sat down until 15 minutes later and that's because I had to get up from the table and go ask the hostess to send our waiter/waitress to our table. Other than the service was a terrible experience for the 3rd time, the only reason I keep going back is because the food is very good. I give them that. They do need a General Manager cracking the whip in that place!!

    We chose this restaurant because the ambience and menu looked great and there was a speakeasy in the basement. We went early hoping to have a cocktail in the speakeasy, it was closed so we sat at the bar. There was one bartender and he was hustling but it still took 20 mins to put in a drink order. Our table was ready 15 mins late, no big deal but we sat down and no one offered us water, acknowledged us or came to get an order. We sat there for 30 mins and no one came to our table. We ended up leaving. After 90 mins there we were served one glass of wine. It’s too bad because it has potential but they have to figure out there service issue.

    Tried the spicy crispy tuna, lumpia, bulgogi fried rice, and the pancit noodles. All super delicious. The black tea crème brûlée and the matcha cake were also super yummy. Our server Kahlif was really nice and delivered swift attentive service. Can’t wait to go back.
