   Great experience as always. Connor, the chef, was awesome as always. Had some of our favorite dishes, such as the gem salad, the lobster shumai, and denver steak. Will miss Connor here, but he promised the food and service will continue to be top notch.

   The food was unique, but not our favorite. Sitting at the bar while there were open tables was frustrating. I get the concept, but it’s not my favorite place to go.

   Group of six and we were excited to try this restaurant as the menu seemed innovative with Asian fusion flavors. We ordered the following: 1. Caviar with seaweed ice cream - it was alright mixing the creamy salty with creamy sweetness. Was not amazing. The flavors were off. 2. The duck breast- du k breast cooked to perfection (medium), but the duck sauce was missing a salty note. 3. Lobster shumai- worst of them all…. Bland and no lobster chunks, so it could had been anything blended into a paste. 4. Broccolini- delicious, right amount of crunch and lived the garlic chips. 5. Xo crab Fried rice- too dried and honestly, did not taste any crabs 6. Tarot Tots- delicious- crunch and flavorful. The heat made the Bonita flakes moved, which was a cool presentation 7. Lemon pepper steak- was alright. Steak cooked to medium which was good. Medium rare would have been better. 8. Dish with green curry bamboo- was ok- lacked exciting flavors. Overall, wasn’t good, wasn’t bad. Would not go back.

   The vegetables on the steak set were absolutely transcendent, and the caviar concoction was to die for. Possibly the best salad my partner and I have ever had. Excellent sake selection. Thank yall so much!

   Hands down one of the best culinary experiences in Durham and we have been to the most highly rated restaurants in town. Every dish was bursting with incredible flavor and textures. Exquisite.

   We really enjoyed M Test Kitchen. The food was amazing. If you've never tried caviar, I highly recommend their caviar and ice cream starter. It's surprising & delicious. The crispy chicken skins were super tasty. And while I'm not generally a fan of duck, the duck we had in our main course was simply divine! The cocktails were awesome, especially the hot toddy on the cold, rainy night. We felt like the staff were especially attentive, making it feel like we were super special! Thank you Christina, Oliver, George and Luis for your interactions!
