    As soon as you walk in, there is a chic bar to the left, great for a drink while you wait. The restaurant is a really long rectangle with plenty of seats for 2,4, and up. Round tables for the larger parties. AC blasting, tasteful music blaring but not overpowering your convo. Must get: chilled cucumber, smashed eggplant, Dan Dan noodles, and the mala fish with rice. Food came out wicked fast and fresh. The vibes were lively and made for a fun dinner. Good vibes, awesome food, great service! Unassuming from outside, but def a must try!

    Really solid Chinese food - the restaurant looks upscale and it's on the pricier side but the portions are actually pretty good and quality of food was worth it. We ordered cucumber salad, poached chicken, mung bean jelly, salt and pepper cartilage, and braised pork belly. I really liked how they added cilantro to the cucumber salad. But overall our fav was braised pork belly - they didn't skimp on meat at all, very tender, and not too sweet. I'd come back again!
