    Really enjoyed our evening here. We came after a show and the location was so convenient. All of the food was delicious! We tried the Korean wings, lemongrass shrimp truffle steak and Pancit noodles. Everything was great although the Pancit wasn’t quite what we expected because we are used to more traditional Pancit. It was still good, though. We weren’t really crazy about the desserts but that’s not a reason for not returning. The service was great too! Nice atmosphere.

    Ambience is amazing. The atmosphere is energetic but no issue in having conversation with your dining partners. The restaurant decor is beautiful. Food is delicious but I prefer simpler version of Asian food, but then it would be missing the Fusion. Staff super attentive. We will definitely be back.

    Side dishes are very small and even a bowl of fried rice was overpriced. Portion sizes small for sides, appetizers, and dessert. World's smallest bowl of miso soup, more like a small tea cup.

    We arrived early & could not be seated immediately, so we had a drink at the bar. Two cocktails cost $41 before tip! Food was good; presentation was awesome. We had to ask for a paper menu because our QR reader didn’t work; menu did not have everything on it. We ended up looking at the menu on the restaurant website. Cocktail menu was on black paper & it was so dark that we had to use our phone flashlights to view it. Nice place, good food, pricey.

    My husband and I were excited to try this new restaurant before going to the theater. We had 5:15 reservations and were seated in a nice booth promptly. However, the restaurant was quite chilly, and I kept my coat on the entire time. We reviewed the menu on their website prior to making our reservation and my husband had intended to order the Skirt Steak entree. Unfortunately, our waiter told us that they were out of skirt steak! (at 5:15!) We tried to call the restaurant for 3 days with a couple questions before our visit and each time a recording stated that the number was not in service!! Our thoughts were that there was some financial difficulty with the business such that they couldn't afford to fully stock their kitchen and pay the phone bill. For these reasons, we most likely will not go back. Our waiter was very friendly and apologetic. He was able to explain menu options and answer our questions well!
