   At first, I saw the restaurant must be gimmick. It look like confusing cuisine, but once I look at the menu, I realized it may be worth a trial. after I got to the restaurant , we were very impressed with the creative cuisine. My favorite dish is chili king crab amazing spices plenty with a lot of king crab. The second best dish is papaya Salad. as a whole. This is the worthy restaurant I would recommend for adventurous diner! By the way, our server Clayton is the best!

   The steak at the table was good, but the New York strip steak that we took on takeout was terrible. No one could eat it. It was very, very tough and very expensive for a piece of steak that no one could eat.

   We never write bad reviews because sometimes things go wrong but the service was so rude. It would be really hard to have so few social skills. it seemed like they were so rude and miserable that they were trying to sabatage any experience. The food was also horrible! Lamb spring rolls were just that, bad lamb in a spring roll. A chive dumpling was an only a lot of chives that were super bitter. Not sure either side of the house could have tried to make it worse. It was like a joke. Really surprising how bad they made the whole experience.

   Knowledgeable staff who were professional. Food was outstanding and came out hot and promptly. Great selections and nice variety. Sensitive to one gluten free in our group. Loved the entire experience.

   Food was tasty but service was less than stellar. Took a long time for server to come to table after seating.

   My daughter is vegetarian, and there were plenty of options for her, and the rest of us and the drinks were amazing!

   Steak was not cooked all the way even after we requested it to be well done. Chicken soup had a weird taste to it. Only good thing was the rice and veggie rolls
