Went for Restaurant Week to try a few things out and celebrate my birthday. Everything was fantastic. Standouts were the empanadas and the ropa vieja noodles. The mojitos were delicious although a little small, however, they were reasonably priced. Service was great, we never felt rushed. Will definitely be back and already recommended to friends!

Came here for dinner with 2 coworkers. All of us thought the food was average.
For starters we had the tiger salad and Cuban sandwich spring rolls.

The salad was…. soo bland! That’s kinda unprecedented for me when eating out when there’s an issue with restaurant food flavor, it’s always been that the flavor is too strong for me: too sweet, too salty, too rich, etc. So, this salad being too bland is kinda wild

The spring rolls were alright, not particularly memorable. I did initially have too much mustard, which overwhelmed the spring rolls; after I decided not to dip in the mustard at all, then the rolls were better but still just ok.

Finally, my bian pao salmon main was probably the best food I had at the dinner. The fish seemed fresh, not too dry, and the sweet sauce was the right amount of sweetness. Nevertheless it felt like a 3.5 ⭐️ for the main course.

Desserts were also a bright spot, but couldn’t really compensate for the real food.

Overall I would rate the food below 3.5 ⭐️ and therefore round down to 3 ⭐️ For me, it just is far from good enough to command this kind of prices — even for a midtown spot.

Service and atmosphere were fine. It can be quite loud during when packed — around 7:00pm it can be hard to have a conversation at normal volume.

We came here for date night and ordered the Chicken and Yellow Rice with the Seafood Paella. The chicken was a well-cooked and had great portion size + very flavorful rice! The seafood Paella was a great fusion take and was LOADED with seafood! Would definitely come back here for the happy hour and creative menu!

Absolutely loved our server Alicia! She was lovely and the Mojitos were the best I’ve ever had. As someone who has Cuban/Chinese heritage this place was unexpectedly delicious. And Alicia made the night. We came back for seconds, and will continue to come back anytime in NYC!

Great Cuban/Asian fusion and atmosphere is amazing. Drinks look good. I had the Cuban egg rolls, highly recommend. I also got the Ropa Vieja noodles, a bit spice and noodles were great but the brisket lacked flavor.

We went on a weekday night and I was thankful to have some space to set down my bag pack – typically restaurants in NYC are really congested. We were able to enjoy a peaceful conversation. The server was very friendly and interacted well with us beyond being prompt and attentive. Drinks were decent but not special. Bok choy still had some light dirt between the stalks. We asked for some hot sauce which helped spice things up nicely. Appetizers were two on the plate (see pics). Overall a nice visit mainly because of server and ambiance.

Great food and service! We reserved for dinner and had a good experience. Thought, the music is a bit loud. The Cuban fried rice, the ropa vieja noodles, the yuca fries and the grilled shrimp with garlic were very good.

Came here for the happy hour (4-7pm) dishes. Enjoyed the oysters and the tostones; personally preferred the brisket one heavily over the pork. The mojito was sweet and refreshing. Overall not a spectacular meal but also not a bad place to stop by. The server was very bubbly and friendly, perhaps the most memorable part of the restaurant.
