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.

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.

The food was ok. We got a lot of options to make sure we tried everything. The service was great. The table next to us brought a very small child that was very loud so that was disappointing. The cost of the food was really high for what you get. The parking next door was 80$ for 1 hr? Over all we will not be back.
