Our server, Bronwyn, was absolutely fantastic. She was warm, attentive, and offered excellent recommendations. Even while managing several tables, she never made us feel rushed and took the time to explain our options, making us feel like her top priority.
When our food arrived, the presentation was beautiful and the flavors did not disappoint. We enjoyed the rock shrimp tempura, lobster wontons, orange chicken, and soy cowboy fried rice with chicken. For cocktails, we tried the Blackberry Bramble and the Lychee Martini—both were refreshing and perfectly balanced.
Although the dessert menu looked amazing, we were far too full to indulge. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we will absolutely be back again!

Dessert Omakase (5/5) The Banana bead pudding was amazing!
I tried the wagyu gyoza, chicken yakisoba, and matcha cheesecake. The gyoza lacked flavor and the wagyu didn’t add much to elevate it. The yakisoba was good but fairly standard. The matcha cheesecake had a pleasant subtle sweetness that let the fruit stand out, but the overall balance felt off, and the neon dome with blueberry smoke felt more gimmicky than elegant.
Overall, the meal seemed focused more on presentation than taste or value. For the cost, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great energy, great service, and great food!
This is one of the few places that Arlington has to offer with an excellent fine dining experience that transports you to big city vibes. The ambiance is top notch.
Let’s talk about the food. I am a big foodie and as I mentioned I’m so disappointed in myself for not coming here already. Yes it’s a little pricey, but the food is worth it. The fusion of Asian cuisines is unique and memorable in every way. One of those places where you just can’t order something wrong. All of it is so good.
Go wild get everything, ask Gabby to tell you what to get if you can’t decide. You will be so happy. Thanks guys!
Service from Nick was excellent. He knew the menu well and was a great blend of very professional and attentive but also fun and casual.
The ambiance and build out of this restaurant is top notch too. It has a very warm and relaxing vibe, with what seems like a giant Harry Potter cauldron of fire in the main dining room, an interesting translucent curtain made out of heavy wire, a unique bathroom with what lava rocks in the sink.
Food: The food was very good. Each dish was tasty, but the portions seemed smaller than what was shown on the website menu. I’m not sure if that’s because we did the prix-fixe menu, or if the portions are always that small. Our waiter actually said he’d be happy to leave the menu with us in case we were still hungry and wanted to order more. That worried us, so we went ahead an ordered, on top of our 3-course meal (2 appetizers, entrees, and desserts), an extra entre which was the fried rice.
Service: Our waiter was nice, but it was odd that he took our 3 course order all at once. That definitely took away from the experience, and created problems later. About 2 minutes after our appetizers were delivered, my main entre showed up…a steak with potatoes and onion rings. About 8-10 mins later we asked another waiter to call our waiter over. At that point we explained my food was brought out very early and was getting cold and we were still working on our appetizers. He was very nice to explain that the kitchen has made this mistake before, and he suggested we send the food back and have it made fresh so it wouldn’t be cold when I was ready to eat it. I hate to waste food, but I also didn’t like the idea of eating a cold steak, and I figured this would allow my food and my wife’s food to come out at the same time. However, I was wrong. Not 1 minute after my food was taken back, my wife’s food came. There was nothing to be done about this, as our appetizers were done, so she began dinner without me, with my steak showing up about 5 minutes later. What was interesting, was that we both noticed that my food portion looked much smaller on the 2nd plate than what was originally served. Maybe I should have just kept the first plate.
Anyways, while the food was good, having to preorder our 3 courses, and the one entre being brought out early and not with my wife’s entre, really was disappointing. At a nice restaurant, you expect a relaxed, well coordinated meal where you can enjoy the atmosphere and each course at a comfortable pace. Instead, the evening felt disjointed and rushed, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.
If I had known the service would be like this, I probably would’ve chosen somewhere else for our anniversary. That said, the food was good and hopefully they will work out these issues for future guests. I might give it another try down the road once things are running more smoothly.
