Modern, fancy twist on Chinese food. Service is excellent, food was very good, creative. They are very attentive to food allergies & were able to provide options & alternatives. Very accommodating & appreciated especially when the chef is able to go off-menu.

Modern Chinese cuisine that balances Asian influence with a modern flair. Chef Lee Andersen lives up to his reputation. The plates were nicely served. The service was excellent, & the ambiance was matched the food, traditional with a modern twist.

We had the following & have nothing negative to say:

- Devil's eggs
- Tofu dip, fresh roe, baby gem
- Wonton soup, shrimps, pork
- Sauted green, garlic, ginger, chili
- Whole sea bream, Sichuan sauce
- Sweet & sour eggplant, peanuts, bacon
- Green papaya salad, chili crisp
- Duck tartare, truffle, eggroll
- 5 spice duck platter
- Crispy chow mein, seafood, bacon
- Coconut, passion fruit, mango, tapioca

- (drink) Duck-fat Manhattan

Although every dish was very flavourful I think I would especially recommend the tofu dip, the 5 spice duck platter & the Crispy chow mein. The coconut tapioca dessert was excellent as well.
