Really good dining experience! Expect to pay a lot of money, but it’s worth a trip for a special occasion. The food comes out super fast and hot, which we were all pleasantly surprised by.
My favorite dishes:
- fried tofu with black truffle. Definitely order this. The texture is silky inside but there’s a light truffle flavor and perfect crispy outside.
- shrimp and walnuts: the table favorite (and also our server’s favorite dish they make, so you have all of our seals of approval).
- the braised duck (appetizer) is also tender and flavorful and presented in a beautiful cage and it was eaten very fast.
I will say while the meatballs in brown sauce is really good, the sauce is a little too salty. The sweet and sour pork is also okay, the sauce is overpowering and it’s not crispy if that’s the style you prefer.
The other dishes we enjoyed were the jellyfish in vinegar (crunchy and refreshing), string beans (well seasoned), and cumin lamb (get your phones ready when they bring it over to get a photo of the fire).
In all, everything is presented beautifully and I’d recommend coming here with many people and try everything banquet style!

Nice, cozy ambiance. Ordered an iced chai and chatted with a friend. I have it on their good authority that their smoothies are also good. The music was great as well
