    Amazing service, food, thoughtfully curated drink menu. Please keep the pacing as it is, as someone that can’t do huge tasting menus anymore this was the perfect portion size and pacing (I did the five course). Loved the jook course and the main courses with golden rice, must have starches on the tasting menu. Will definitely be back when the menu changes seasonally. Also love the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability and no plastics!

    The overall restaurant experience was pleasant. Our server, Jasmine, was professional. Unfortunately, we seemed rushed even though the restaurant was virtually empty. The prices are high for the value of the food, but the food was tasty. The location of the restaurant is perfect, and is within a short walk to the Clarendon Metro station. However, if you drive, the restaurant does not validate parking at any of the parking garages near the restaurant.
