Beautiful decorations, louder than normal based on the new year but nothing terrible. akaushi beef, moo shu pork, and salt and epper shrimp all phenomenal. The soup dumplings never disappoint so that’s always our first bite. Cocktails took some time but we’re always delicious. We will probably be back but might take some time to forget the sun par service.
As for the food, it was just okay, nothing particularly outstanding. The soup dumplings were the highlight and are worth ordering; they were pretty decent compared to the rest of the menu.
Unfortunately, the service was below average. Staff tended to avoid contact, and we waited quite a long time to be checked on. Overall, it didn’t feel very welcoming, which took away from the experience.
The food was absolutely delicious—truly delicious. We tried the duck, dumplings, tofu, a salad, and dessert, and every dish felt fresh and exciting for my palate. The decorations were also excellent and beautifully festive for the holiday season.
Thank you, Alex and Qi, for a delightful lunch!
For the appetizers I got the QI soup dumplings and the basil rolls. I kinda slammed both and it was really good!
For the main course I got the sesame chicken and jasmine rice. I put a solid dent but it was just too much. Solid flavors all around.
For desert I got the cat shaped sorbet. I will admit this on my own so I don’t get cancelled in the future but I did ask the waiter for the cat but not in a racist way and I mean it. I’ve been friends with people of east asian descent all my life and have friends who are chinese as well. My friend andrew tang and antong zhu can attest to this. When I asked for the cat I meant the desert and was happy when I got the cat. Again I meant no harm when I said that. With all that being said the desert was kinda butt. Not very tasty.
Service was great and I threw in a nice tip with it because of it and because of how day trading has been going! Would come again but not sure if my pockets can keep up!
The dessert chef deserves a special shout out, all of them look so tempting! The one I had had great texture and refreshing fruity flavors.
Truffle rice came highly recommended but I felt it was too strong on truffle oil. Ate it with my entree and tasted better.
Amazing ambiance inside and outside, spoiled however by it being just too insanely loud to talk without really raising your voice especially in the outdoor seating area. Otherwise I would have rated ambiance 5/5.
Food is great. Have the moo shoo pork which is a great portion size, good value, and tastes great.
Skip the desserts, which are just a racket. I had the chocolate bao with raspberry jam which was more like a gimmick. Trying to be too modernist cuisine types and quite small. It was alright and not worth the price.
They also didn’t clean the table after the main course, implying they don’t really care about the experience of eating their own desserts. So why would you?
Shockingly slow and inefficient service. Making you wonder what is taking them so long. I asked for recommendations for the main course, the waiter told me about appetizers instead and when I asked for the main courses just pointed at them on the two-page menu. Yes, I know how to read. I want you to help me make this decision
