Customer Reviews
Amazing food! Enjoyed each and every thing that we ordered. Every dish was so flavourful and peculiar in taste. A must try the spicy noodles if you like spicy food. Garlic noodles a must order too. Chicken lettuce wrap Awesome… Do try this place if you near by.
Went out to dinner here on a Thursday night and it was the best Thai/Asian-fusion food I’ve had in Columbia. The ribs had an amazing sauce and tender meat the char siu noodles were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pad Thai was also great but maybe a little too sweet for my taste but that just depends how you like it. The atmosphere was cozy and contemporary. Our server was super attentive. I love Thai and Vietnamese food and this was definitely a top for me. I would highly recommend and wish I discovered this spot sooner. Will definitely be coming back!
Great atmosphere and friendly staff, however the food is a little disappointing. We ordered the brussel sprouts, crab rangoon, miso ramen hot pot, and a ube cocktail. Feels like both the small plates we ordered are heavily sauced, to a point where I just couldn’t take another bite. The sauces they use are just overly sour and sweet. The ramen however, was relatively bland, and the type of noodles they used was a thin kind of noodle, not quite the usual ramen you would expect. The drink was quite nice though - very creamy and somehow refreshing! The environment makes this a great place for gathering, although we just didn’t quite like the food, or maybe we just didn’t order the right food.
Trendy street art Manga graffiti. High top tables not my favorite. A bit small for all the plates of food we ordered meant pulling together another table. Would have been a problem if it was full of patrons. Worth it for the drinks which were excellent. Great long bar. Friendly bartender and wait staff. Clean gender neutral bathrooms. Outdoor patio seating ready for Instagram. Food was good. Ordered small plates. Will return for a meal.
The restaurant has a great ambiance and atmosphere. The host greeted us immediately as we walked inside. Our server was very nice and definitely busy. The crab rangoon’s were a little dry not much flavor. The chicken was just covered in a sauce and the rice left much to be desired no seasoning at all. Overall nice place but the food was kinda bland.
