    Food quality was not good at all .. miso soup taste like water, lettuce wraps taste like they but tomato paste,  no seasoning also got vegetable eggrolls, and they were nasty also.  Had no seasoning or flavor in it.  a waste of money.   also ordered a Mojito and that was also nasty like it just tasted like it came out of a premade container. I currently live in DC so I just expect a little bit better quality but the food was just nasty. Just nasty.

    The dining experience was somewhat disappointing in terms of the food quality, which did not meet expectations. However, the ambiance of the establishment was quite lovely, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service from my waitress was lacking, as she did not engage in eye contact, which left a significant impression on the experience. On a more positive note, the busser exhibited kindness and attentiveness, enhancing the service aspect of my visit.

    Food was just okay, I asked for dressing on the side and my salad came loaded with way too much dressing mixed in, also way too much oil in my sauteed spinach and mushrooms

    First visit and although ambiance was pleasant, the overall experience was not great. I had made a note on the reservation about a special celebration and requested dining room seating and the note was totally ignored and had to ask for different table. Food appeared prepackaged and one main entree was almost inedible oversalted and when asked for some rice to dilute we were charged $8 for a side of white rice! Service was not particularly friendly and when asked questions about the menu items the server was almost bothered. Perhaps just a bad night (it can happen) and will give it another try.
    PAO Detroit - Modern DiningResponded on November 15, 2024
    We appreciate you taking the time to comment on your initial visit. We regret that your experience did not live up to your expectations, especially with regard to the seating arrangements and the fact that your request for a special celebration was not fulfilled. We value your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience on your next visit.

    I made late reservations after attending a show downtown, and to my surprise, the kitchen was still open!!! They had great vegan options for my friend which she thoroughly enjoyed, and my crispy Korean Sticky Ribs were Heaven!!! The server initially got my fried rice order wrong and added shrimp instead of chicken, but promptly corrected the mistake and had piping hot chicken fried rice on my table in 10 minutes. Top Notch customer service! I'll be back again soon.

    Parking was scarce, because of an events in the area, but I was able to park right in front because valet wasn't being used that night. The personnel are very friendly. The food was very good. I had the Pao Pao Shrimp, Japanese Cesar salad and Salmon. I was billed a service charge, why, I don't know. A portion went to charity so I was okay spending a little more than I normally do.
