    Terrific food, excellent service and quick food delivery, although chosing the bar section (for happy hour) made for a higher noise level

    The food is decent. The waffle and taco bar is rather mediocre, but the menu items were pretty good overall. I did not get a chance to try the pizzas, but they looked good. We were seated in the bar area, so it was a little noisy but great energy. The chicken sliders and dan-dan noodles were our favorites.

    Great food with prompt service. A good value especially for the bottomless dinner. We tried about a dozen plates and liked the vast majority.

    Overall good experience, but they were out of the sesame steak. They’re all out of desserts so that was a little disappointing when asking for certain dishes on a Saturday night and they just didn’t have them and I feel like they could’ve offered a discount for this experience. The reason why I came there was because I ate there earlier this week and I really love the food and I really love the steak and I was like oh I’m gonna go back and get that steak and some other things, but they were out of the steak. I didn’t say something to the manager into the server that seem to go over their head to do something.

    The format of the prix-fixe menu (a-la-carte also possible) encourages sampling. The variety of plates made the experience fun and likely helped the service move more quickly than other restaurants. The atmosphere was less formal than we expected, but very comfortable. We sampled about 3 dishes per menu category and enjoyed them all. Definitely plan to return soon.

    Food was very spicy, dominating the some of the food rather than complimenting it.
