Designed for evenings of enviable cuisine and distinctive revelry, the spacefeatures seating for 350 guests juxtaposed with a meticulously curatedcollection of modern art and clean lines, alongside traditional, hand carved Asian design elements in an homage to the architectural pagodas ofgenerations’ past.

    This place was absolutely amazing. The service was excellent. They were detailed and knowledgeable about the menu considering we have a shellfish and peanut allergy in our family. They made sure that my husband and son’s food was cooked separately from any allergens which we appreciated. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. We have one more week in NY and will definitely dine here again before we leave.

    Thank you so much for your amazing feedback, Portia! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a nice dining experience with us. It’s wonderful to know that our service, food, and attention to detail made an impression. We look forward to welcoming you back before your time in NYC comes to an end!

    The satays were very good, drinks were “ok” for such a nice place dress code should be enforced. Flip flops and tank tops are not it. Waiter was very attentive and helpful. Noise level i felt was good, not to laud not to quiet. Overall good date night spot.
