Staff seemed uninterested. Dumplings didn't taste like much but general tao was decent, nothing special. Ambiance was nice. Not worth the price.

We had a delicious dinner & the food & drinks were good but the service was super slow. We waited after finishing our meals for close to 30 minutes & when the server cleared our meals, we waited another 15 minutes for them to acknowledge us again (we wanted to order dessert). They were definitely understaffed- only two people serving, bartending, & hosting, but the staff was not attentive at all & did not seem to be in a hurry to assist customers.

Friday evening between 4 & 5 pm, there is practically no one. The ambiance was pretty fun. Cool music playing, lights are dimmed. It's really cozy. I went with my 12 year old daughter. She really enjoyed it. We only took appetizers, & it was plenty for us. The dumplings tasting platter is so delicious. The calmar & the tempura shrimp were really good, too. Rania was an amazing waitress. She was really attentive & very helpful.

Ouf quelle expérience décevante. Le gérant devrait vraiment accompagner ces employés inexpérimentés les jours de semaine (nous étions là un mardi) J'ai vu au moins 4 tables partir à cause qu'ils attendaient leurs verres depuis 15 min... Après 1 mois à l'emploi, la barmaid ne savait toujours pas faire les cocktails de la carte ni même déboucher une bouteille de vin.. on a demandé à goûter le Prosecco en voulant acheter la bouteille & elle nous l'a servi chaud... elle a expliqué par après qu'il n'avait aucune bouteille au froid. Mais pourquoi nous l'avoir fait goûter Les edamame sont servi avec du sel seulement... (il faudrait l'indiquer dans le menu car dans un resto de ce genre, on s'entends à un minium, soit une sauce asiatique quelconque...) Salade de papaye ordinaire vinaigré. On avait faim mais on a rien commandé de plus vu le temps d'attente malgré un restaurant vide & la pauvre qualité de ce qu'on avait goûté. Je suis désolé de faire une critique aussi négative, mais ayant travaillé plus de 10 ans en restauration, j'espère que ce sera pour les propriétaires un wake-up to pour être plus présent auprès de leurs employés.
