    Even on a Monday night, we enjoyed a spectacular dining experience with our out-of-town guests from LA. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service impeccable, and each dish was a perfect blend of flavor and presentation. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, making it a truly memorable evening filled with great food and even better company.

    We love that Chef Lee employs people of diverse backgrounds and experience. He is tough but encouraging according to our server. Warning! Those pork ribs are super hot!

    Food is next level outstanding. Waiter so knowledgeable BUT - we had the AC dripping on us from the ceiling above, someone’s wine spilling over to us from the table beside us, and alot of commotion with tables being rearranged beside us for 20 mins. The manager was apologetic but did not compensate us. We ordered desserts, and instead of coming a dessert, he brought a small added dessert we didn’t want. The bill - we were charged for an extra app on 2 dishes that we didn’t order. Apps Come in 2. There were 3 of us at the table. The waiter ASSUMED we would want 3. Never asked us or told us the cost of a third. Just brought it. Then charged for it. customer service - zero.

    This was everything I hoped for. The servers pampered us by replacing plates, cleaning the table between dishes and offered good descriptions of each dish. The Singapore slaw was the hit and all other dishes were well constructed and perfectly executed. We even caught a glimpse of Chef Lee working in the kitchen which was very meaningful knowing our meal was prepared under his watchful eye.
