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.

    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.

    Great ambiance, good music, and great food. However, it's overpriced, and the value is not there unless you order fried rice. But that's just my opinion.

    This wasn’t just a meal—it was a reminder of how good food can make you feel deeply satisfied. A true culinary embrace that leaves you nourished, grateful, and already planning your return. The filet with broccoli was my favorite! The texture was tender and juicy, with just the right texture. Every forkful delivered a rich, comforting warmth that made the dish feel both indulgent and familiar. The Grand Marnier prawns…created harmony on the plate. The Sei Less cocktail..perfect sips!

    It was okay but we were seated in the bar area facing 4 TVs, which was distracting, when there were plenty of tables in the regular dining room.

    I love the restaurant The service is top tier However the bill is very questionable. I prefer to give a nice cash tip to the employees. I hate when I’m pre charged for a tip also there is a fee for using a credit card plus taxes. I feel we should be giving an option to give cash to the employees
