"Aura Cocina is a vibrant Cuban restaurant with an Asian fusion twist. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the live performance by the singer and her band was absolutely outstanding — such an unforgettable show! The cocktails were also incredibly delicious. Highly recommended!"

Food was Amazing!!!! The steak sushi, oxtail dumplings and shrimp pad thai were to die for! Not only is the food good, the restaurant had such nice ambiance and the customer service was top notch. I've already recommended this spot to all my friends lol.

We’ve been here several times and each time has been better than the last. Today we celebrated my husbands birthday and we couldn’t be happier to have picked Aura Cocina! From the girls at the door to the drinks our waitress the food and drinks wow! Thank you thank you for making this night so seamless and memorable. We will see you again soon!

The staff was excellent. The ambiance was wonderful as well. Definitely recommend

Came here for my wife’s birthday on a Saturday night with reservations. This place has a lot of potential and filled with energy. The salsa band was a vibe. The bar is very long with good spacing to chill. Our waiter was on point with explaining any questions we had , and his service was good. The drinks were very good as well. My only complaint was about the food. Many people in our group were not feeling the food. I personally felt it lacked taste and wasn’t filling enough , even after ordering appetizers. I will be coming back to try out the Sunday brunch. I am also looking forward to coming here in the summer during the day to grab drinks and chill at the bar. I am hoping in the summer they have day shows with live salsa.

Amazing service and great atmosphere! We had a great time, and great sushi as a bonus!

Amazing environment love the music jose the waiter was very friendly and helpful we will come back with our family and friend. We loved it.

The food, atmosphere, and our friendly and quick waiter were excellent ♥️ y la musica divina!!! 💃

Aways a nice spot to chill outdoors and grab one of their unique drinks! The pork buns could be a little more tender but still tasty.

This place is one of the most Amazing Restaurants I've been to in NYC. The service here is 5 stars and the prices are affordable. The ambiance and decor is priceless. Kudos to this restaurant for a job well done .Great for Bdays and brunch.

Jose was a such an attentive server. He not only recommended the best drinks he for bout food out very fast. I enjoyed how he was very informative of the meals. I am definitely coming back and asking for him!

Our waitress was amazing Yojahna . The food was great, I had steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. Great vibe , good music and the decor was very chic.

Date night with husband. Food was delicious. Our server Rey was delightful, full of smiles and excellent suggestions. Live band at 8pm was great. Would definitely recommend.

The food here is so good and the ambiance is an entire vibe. All the of the dishes were tasty and well seasoned. This is a very cute spot for a date, brunch or a night out with friends.

Had an absolutely great time here. The food was really good. The service on point. The live Latin music was really good and the vibe was pretty lively with people dancing in the aisles. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed my Sunday brunch...early birthday celebrations. The food choices are great. There are two brunch menus to choose from regular and prefix. The food was tatsy and delicious. I love chicken and waffles anytime, the chicken was tender and moist. The waffle was light and fluffy. Sorry, I chopped the chicken up before I took the pic I was hungry...😁. The atmosphere was relaxed and the music was great, a little bit of everything. Shout out to the dj. Thanks Jose, you were superb.

This place was amazing. The food, the live band, the vibe, the service. My waiter Alejandro was very attentive, my drinks were on point (I had the passion fruit margarita). My husband had the skirt steak with yuca fries and I had the seafood coconut curry both were delicious. The live band Maria Raquel was the icing on the cake. I will be back

Awesome dope spot. They gave out great food and really great drinks. Place was spare when I visited but I'm glad it's thriving! Keep doing what you're doing!

Such a great vibe, definitely makes you get up and dance! 💃🏻 🪩 🕺🏻 great food and amazing service. Delicious 🍹 drinks

I loved going there so much had an amazing date with my man on valentine’s day the food was delicious. I’m a very big sushi eater and i must say this place has some of the best sushi i’ve ever tried. The staff was also very accommodating and gracious.

I went to dinner with my family here on Saturday night. The food, drinks, live band and atmosphere were great. My only complaint is that the service was kind of slow. I would come back here though.

Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Love the fusion of both cultures ! Both my husband and I approve! A chino Cubano dream come true 🤪

Highly recommended if you want to have a good time. Music was so versatile you couldn’t help but join the conga line and sing along. The food was phenomenal and the ambience was amazing. I wish I had gotten the waitress name who served, cause girl did her thing!! Please go in a group or in pairs idc just GO

Fantastic fusion food with a great drink program to boot. Really warm service, very attentive even though we were seated outside in the rain (covered by a huge umbrella, of course, but our server wasn't phased by the weather). Can't wait to go back when the inside is finally open, it looks beautiful in there. We had a great first visit!

I had an amazing brunch experience at Aura Cocina! The atmosphere was lively and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a weekend brunch. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made our visit exceptional was the service. Our waiter, Jose, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. And our bartender, also named Jose, crafted some of the best drinks we’ve had in a long time—perfectly balanced and refreshing. Great food, fantastic service, and a vibrant energy—definitely a spot worth visiting! We’ll be back soon.

Fantastic place to come before a show for dinner. The food was off the hook good and so was the music. Can’t wait to come back again!

Cocktails, Tempura sushi and fried yucas were delicious! Also the service was excellent, I’ll be back

Beautiful interior, super friendly staff and great live music the night we went. The food were absolutely delicious and the drinks were amazing. I haven’t got to try each of their menu items, so I’m definitely going back to try the other menus.

Had my birthday dinner for 20 people this past Saturday. The whole experience was amazing, organizing to the event. My guests loved the food on the prefix menu and the drink options at the bar. I also had drinks with a friend earlier in the year and the live performances were great both times.

I made my reservation for 9 at night because there was a live musician and I called because I was going to be late at 9:30 and they still reserved my table for me they are very professional the employees are very friendly. the food is very good and the sushi are delicious... Prices are worthy. But they included a lot of taxes, services fee and others fees. the environment is very nice I went on a “Bohemio Sunday” and there was a live artist (Richard Francisco) sings like an angel. The Hookah cost around 25-40dollars... the drinks weren't that strong, they didn't have that much alcohol but the waitress explained that the bartender was new and we understood. I highly recommend that you go in, you will have a great time, I would return many more times... I rated them 5 stars.

Loved food and drinks, José made girls night very fun and festive. Was very nice and funny with all the jokes, we had a great time.

I can only imagine how much fun and excitement ran through this restaurant pre-corona but a good time can still be had. It's easy to run up a decent sized tab as there are many worthy options for unique cocktails and fusion dishes. Unfortunately for some apparently the chef doesn't like to put pepper in the food and they don't have hot sauces so don't expect anything to be spicy. Masks are worn by all staff.

Food was amazing...bartenders and waiters were attentive, knowledgeable of menu, and overall awesome. The restaurant turns into a dance party after 11 p.m to 3 a.m. DJ was 🔥🔥🔥Will definitely return

5 Stars! Friends say I’m a tough critic. The truth is in my opinion I call it how I see it in my experience. We went on a Saturday night. Vibes are in the air with live music. Our waitress’s was attentive which I appreciated always. I ordered two different drinks La Cura & Herbed Honey Smash very good drinks. For appetizers out of the three Kani Crab Empanadas, Oxtail Pan Seared Dumplings and Red Curry Fried Calamari. The fried Calamari wins the sauce and taste was fresh so amazing. Just a FYI I usually do not order calamari I’m not a fan. For the main course I had sushi Hangover Roll. Good roll but the moment I dipped the soy sauce it became another experience, highly recommended! Especially if you are getting into sushi. I also tried the Miso Salmon if you enjoy Salmon this will blow you taste buds go for it you won’t regret it!

I look on Instagram some pictures. So We went. And besides, the place is around the Industrial area, which is very nicer. The Chef put a lot love in the food he made it. 😋I can't wait to go back in the busy days where is party and fun!

The whole operation runs with both efficiency and warmth. The kitchen delivers inconsistent results. The employees display exceptional professionalism. Bold tastes matched with truly helpful service. The environment puts you at ease.

This place is truly a GEM. Music was a on point, food is insanely delicious. I had the skirt steak with yuka purée -MIND BLOWING! EXCELLENT! . steak was perfect temperature. Nice and medium, just the way I like it. Generous portions. OUTSTANDING service. Family friendly environment. Overall a truly AMAZING experience. . I would say the menu is priced fairly. You get what you pay for👌🏽. My friend and I went there for my birthday, we both couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was, and how Rechi really made my night ! Thank you. I CANT WAIT TO BE BACK! 🙏🏽

Went on Tuesday night and the place is beautiful, great customer service, food super tasty, well presented, good ambient music, they also told me that on the weekends have an live band and you can dance.

Iight so boom. The lovely world of TikTok led me to this restaurant and let me tell you, I'm forever indebted. This place is IT and I cannot wait to return! My homegirl and I pulled up for brunch for a 2pm reservation and didn't leave until 5. Partially because we were enjoying ourselves, purposely because we wanted to order from the dinner menu to go . The dinner menu looked SCRUMOTIOUS and we asked if the dinner menu was available during brunch. The manager explained that the kitchen is closed from 3-5 PM so the staff can prepare for dinner, everything is freshly prepared and made from scratch so ordering from the dinner menu during brunch isn't allowed and understandably so. We scanned the menu and they offer a $39.95 pre-fix that includes a starter, entree and bottomless mimosas. That menu is slightly limited but have no fear, they have a standard brunch menu with more options and a cocktail list if you'd like to indulge in a drink or two. Nothing on the prefix menu peaked my homegirl's interest, so she ordered the chicken and waffles and the strawberry margarita cocktail. I'm greedy, and wanted my bang for my buck, so I ordered the Asian citrus salad with chicken as my starter and the Cuban fried rice as my entrée. Originally I wanted the mac & cheese as my starter, but they were all out. However I LOVE hospitality and this place did it because the manager offered the addition of chicken in my salad for free to apologize for the lack of mac & cheese. I'm so happy he did that!!! I was always one to laugh at folks who ordered salad as a full entrée (sorry to those folks) but let me tell you this salad was AMAZING! The vinaigrette was light but flavorful, chicken perfectly seasoned and they did not skimp on the helping at all, and the fruit added a level of acidity that just topped it all off. Whew. The helping was plentiful, they didn't serve a smaller portion just because it was a starter and I sure as hell could've left happily after eating that. While I ate my salad my homegirls strawberry margarita was brought to her and off of one sip her eyes lit up. She let me taste and baby let me tell you...A COCKTAIL! The liquor was ABUNDANT but not too harsh. Fresh lime juice and muddled strawberries it was actually delicious. Wow wow wow. Now for the entrees. When I tell you we feasted like Queens we did just that. The Cuban fried rice was sooooo good. Flavor, presentation, smell like typing this I'm being taken back everyone has to try it!!! The chicken for the chicken and waffle was a tender, and not a bone in leg or thigh, but the coating was crispy and the waffle was surprisingly GOODT. Like real Belgian waffle type. My homegirl asked for more syrup on the side and the syrup had a slight kick to it, maybe some cayenne up in there and while it sounds odd it was actually really really good. So we kept eating, drinking, and laughing and lo and behold it was 5 o'clock. You know what that means...dinner menu! We obviously couldn't stay any longer as dinner reservations were coming in but we placed an order to go. We both ordered the oxtail dumplings and I also ordered the Brussels sprouts. Oh. My. God. The oxtail dumplings made me squeal. I can't even. You just have to fry them. The glaze and char on the brussels sprouts were literal perfection. Overall, 10/10. While the mimosas weren't the strongest, the staff made sure my cup was never empty. Almost to the point they were waiting on me to finish drinking so they could pour me up again. They have a stage set up with a microphone and conga drums and I can tell pre-and post Covid the vibes in here are immaculate. I absolutely will be returning. Whether for brunch or dinner I don't care. Go head Aura Cocina with your bad self!

Jose was our server and he was exceptionally wonderful. We came to celebrate our coworker Leandra's birthday, he made us feel great.

Took my family here for Easter and we had such a great time. The place is super family-friendly, which made it easy to relax and just enjoy the day. The drinks were top-notch—honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while. The food? Spectacular. Everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor. For the quality you're getting, the prices are actually really reasonable. Definitely felt like we got our money’s worth. And the live band? Such a nice touch! It added to the whole vibe and made the experience feel even more special. We’ll definitely be back.

What great gem of a place that offers so much! My friends did a surprise birthday dinner for me here & I loved it! 🦋 There’s live music! Great ambience and atmosphere. Staff are friendly, courteous and attentive. 🦋 food & drinks are delicious! They offer both brunch and dinner! 🦋 make a reservation! 🦋 highly recommend!

WOW! Aura Cocina is my NEW obsession. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was for a great. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff were friendly and the food was to DIE for 🤤 my taste buds are doing the happy dance with every bite — and don’t get me started on the cocktails! If you’re looking for a new go-to spot, this is it. Aura Cocina has stolen my heart ♥️

It’s always a good time when I’m out in East Williamsburg and this spot was no different! We were loving the eclectic Cuban Asian fusion menu, the live salsa music and the beautiful space that is perfectly Instagramable. The music starts at around 8pm and that’s when the party starts — all the people around us getting up to dance, it was giving a night in Havana vibe! Good spot for date night or even for a group birthday bash.

It's my first time coming to Aura Cocina for valentines. I has a wonderful time. The live band was awesome. Give the atmosphere a extra kick. The food was also delicious. The staff was very friendly and awesome.

Our server / bartender Ronny was exceptional. Very humble y muy buen ambiente lo ame. Volveré por el y por el chef Willie. They are amazing will always request them. The food and drinks were so good!!! Love them new found spot . Will definitely return a million times again. #casimelorobo

I’ve been to Aura Cocina for both dining and an event. Both times it has been a good experience. For the dining the food is great and seasoned. As for the event, it turns into a space being that it has a stage, and it is very picturesque as they allow commercial photography too!

Altagarcia Rodriguez

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with pleasant music that really enhances the overall vibe. Our servers, especially Jose, were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and truly welcoming. They checked in on us regularly and offered great recommendations. The excellent service and beautiful ambiance made the night especially enjoyable. It’s a perfect spot for a date night or a girls’ day out. I absolutely love their brunch hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and the live salsa music adds such a fun and lively touch. I’ve been here many times, and it’s easily one of my favorite restaurants. Highly recommend!

Khadijah Sinclair

Second time at Aura Cocina and it never disappoints! The food was beyond expectations. The krab empanadas were a 10/10 — creamy, smooth, and literally melted in my mouth. The steak and eggs were cooked to absolute perfection. The drinks were strong, well-crafted, and left me feeling relaxed. A special shoutout to our waiter, Ronny! His attention to detail was exceptional — he made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. When you visit, make sure to ask for Ronny and tell them Khadijah sent you!

Antonio Cook (Joy of Giving Foundation)

The place is hard to find but the food was good. Octupus , oxtail , and seafood was good. Beautiful place. Has a some work to do to make it exceptional but to bad. .will be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A hidden gem! The food was full of flavor and the sushi had that perfect Latin twist. The staff was friendly, the cocktails during happy hour were top-tier, and the live salsa band on the weekend created the perfect atmosphere. Can’t wait to go again with friends!

Jonathan Barazarte

Wow.. the drinks were so good, and the fusion menu really interesting. I came on a Saturday to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was a whole vibe!!! Just a tip: if you’re looking for a more relaxed dinner experience, go before the salsa band starts (around 7:30 PM) or on a weekday! We’ve been there on a Tuesday and this time we got there at 5 PM and it honestly felt like a more fun ambience when the band starts, both great in their own way! We were there to have fun, but I noticed some reviews that seemed a bit misleading because they kind of generalized the whole experience, when in reality, the band takes short breaks every 30 minutes, so the “loudness” stays balanced. Come on, It’s salsa, it’s meant to make you move! The vibe was amazing, and their birthday packages made everything super easy for our group!

Sasha Silva

I went with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday and I have no regrets. We all enjoyed ourselves so much. We enjoyed our first family brunch and thanks to Aura Cocina there will be many more to come. This is a beautiful restaurant with the best staff. They are all so patient and informative. The hospitality is on point. The food was prepared to perfection. Thank you!!! I will be telling all of my friends and family about you all. Prepare for more business.

Millie Torres

I went after work on Thursday the restaurant was empty but that didn’t matter to me. I had the best bartender Ruben he was so friendly & made the best margaritas ever. The music was great. You must try the Octopus omg delicious. This will be my favorite restaurant to have margaritas during the summer.

The food was incredible. Tried the shrimp ceviche and the sushi. The skirt steak was very tender and well cooked. The marinade was tasty. The drinks were excellent. I had the purple rain and it was so good. Loved the live Latin band playing all the hits. Servers are nice. Overall would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Marjorie Rivera

Wow wow, I celebrated my husband's birthday last night and it really was one of the best places to have dinner or celebrate, from the delicious cocktails to the delicious food, I have no words. The waiter who served us was truly excellent. There is a plus that really caught my attention: they put my husband's name on the menu. I will try to leave a photo so you can see it. The music and the atmosphere are incredible. No, no, you don't have to go. I discovered this place by pure coincidence! Come on, you have to visit. The prices were 10/10.

Came here for a friends birthday dinner, and was pleasantly surprised. We were the last reservations on a Friday night (9:30) because an event later that evening. The food and drinks we had came in enough time and was tasty. We had the hangover roll, fried calamari, the skirt steak, fries, chimichurri rice ( I highly recommend) pork chops, braised oxtail, and vaca frita and mei fun noodles. (It actually wasn’t mei fun, but the broad noodles, which was okay but I wish they told me. The live music was great, and the birthday serenade that my friend got was right up her alley and the flan that she received towards the end dig the night complete with flares. The drinks were great. We had the purple rain, lychee martinis, and the lagunitas.

I had not been here in a few years and I had totally forgot about here. Glad they survived the pandemic. The food here is well presented and good! The drinks also are varied, creative and tasty as well. Our 2 servers were so friendly and very attentive and we had such a good time with the music in the background and the settings. I believe they both had "jose" in their names. I drank a bit there so I hope I did jot forget, but I definitely will not forget their friendliness and welcoming nature. Need to return during the summer to go to the "rooftop" next to restaurant!!!

Very loud, not the best place to sit and chat even if you’re going on a weekday .. I was the only one in the entire restaurant for 3 hours .. great espresso martinis though !

Nice surprising flavours for dishes and cocktails. There was a private event after dinner so we didn't get to hear the DJs.

Everything was fine until 10 pm when one of the workers opened the door to take out some tables, disregarding the fact that it was 27° outside, and all that freezing air reached our table, ruining the good time we had been having.

Estephanie, was a great waitress, very tentative to our needs an made sure my table was happy! Enjoy her enthusiasm and her sponk. Thank you Estephanie!!!!

They have a live Salsa band on certain nights and large open space for dancing and dining. The venue is industrial chic, with an easygoing atmosphere. Most patrons are dressed in business casual, and some are there to celebrate an occasion. I tend to go for the Salsa band and enjoy watching the handful of dancers. I enjoyed their yucca fries, virgin mojitos, and steak entree on different occasions. Not a fan of their flan, which seemed to have been made on a previous night. Will go again.

Loved it here. Tucked away in between warehouses. Great food ambience live music. Great for a fun classy trendy night out. Go out with friends on a date on your own. Put on your dancing shoes or come for drag brunch. Def recommend. Note it’s pricey.

Wow great place and fantastic food!! Everything from the octopus appetizer, drink main course and dessert are excellent… Just becareful by the end since the Gratuity is already charged with 20% and the suggest another tipp on the bill … also be specific with tap water vs still water it will end up to be charged!! Other than that highly recommended and we will be back

I visited this restaurant on a Friday night, finding parking was relatively easy or maybe it was my lucky night. Upon arrival we were welcomed by the hostess who brought us to our table right away, we had a very nice view facing the stage where a Cuban salsa band was playing, honestly the highlight of the evening. Service was good but it took a while for someone to approach our table for drinks, once our server came we were ready to order our whole meal. Apps included the curried calamari, crab guacamole and truffle fries all pretty good in flavor and portion size. For entrees we ordered the salmon, sea bass and steak, the fish was pretty good in flavor except for the seabass not being deboned it had some many tiny bones that I just gave up on it and could not finish my dish. The steak although it was well seasoned it had no sauce and it felted a bit dry. Cocktails were outstanding probably the best part of our meal. Ambiance was beautiful, it had a modern industrial vibe, great music, comfortable space. Overall worth the visit.

Damian Ramirez

The place is big and excellent for the atmosphere, the stage for the singers is great and the space is perfect for Salsa dancing. The staff was nice but they need to get their ducks in a row, attention to detail and availability to the tables should be pushed. Overall the experience was positive but they can make improvements still. Grilled octopus is highly recommended Branzino was delish Skirt steak was good but potatoes a little hard and dry Porn star drink was very good

Alejandra Salardi

Came for drag brunch on Saturday and it was great! They have a brunch special for $50 that includes a starter, a main, and 90min of unlimited mimosas. There was a sign on the bathroom that said they have a similar one for $40 but 60min of mimosas, our server didn’t mention that one so I’m not sure it’s valid. Only deducting a star because they have only 1 vegetarian option (for brunch) and it was a very limited food menu in general. Cocktails were amazing, service was great and the drag show was lovely. Would definitely come here again!

Aura cocina is an interesting Cuban / Asian fusion concept. The restaurant is nestled away and it took a bit of a hunt. You have to pass by a bakery before getting to the door Nice and open and high ceilings, the restaurant has a great atmosphere. Even with many people, you can hear yourselves talk. Beautiful presentation of all dishes. The food is good, however, I found myself adding salsa to the dishes to increase the flavor. For the price, I was underwhelmed. We had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly, and Cuban fried rice, both delicious but lacked flavor The music was good but started 1/2 hour late. I had to leave my seat to ask for water but after that prompt, they came frequently. The server was nice and otherwise did his job well.

Not at all impressed with the quality of the food and drinks. The venue is beautiful but also tucked away in a weird area and a bit tough to locate. The corn empanadas were stale and overly cooked. Mango flavored creme brûlée was runny. Mojito was mid. We did not even order entrées because that’s how bad everything was. And it still ended up being over $100. Not to mention wait staff was more interested in talking to each other than serving patrons. Subpar service with only 5 people in the entire place made no sense. Just a disappointment all around. Great space, though.

I visited Aura Cocina for brunch with my friend and sister, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The restaurant has a nice, clean, and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. Overall, it was a pleasant brunch, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a great dining experience.

The vibe there is amazing, they only play Spanish music. The food was a 7 out of 10. I got the chicken main platter with sushi and a tequila with cranberry. The drink was good, the service was good but they should pay more attention to each table especially if they put 20% gratuity on the check.

the food was fantastic. unfortunately I dont rate restaurants solely on food. I wanted food from the dinner menu and not the brunch menu and they refused to serve me exactly what I wanted even tho me and my family were literally they only ppl there at the time. I will never go to the restaurant ever again. nor will I ever recommend it.

Ok this place is very cute, but I feel they need to step up their game when it comes to service. Very slow. Food was good, but I also wasn’t creative so I can’t rate their other foods. Again service just took way to long and then they were kind of rushing us to finish since it closes after a certain time to open up as a club scene.

We celebrated a friend's birthday the service and atmosphere were great. The food on the other hand was not that great, especially for the price. My salad was the best thing there. I am not a drinker, but everyone said the drinks were good.

Apple Pi Techs

I really wanted to give this spot a 5 star review but the food is just mediocre, starters are good but all the main courses we ordered was not great at all. Do not get the Peking Chicken is just a lightly baked chicken no flavor at all. The band was awesome, the staff was amazing and the atmosphere is really nice. If you’re looking to enjoy a good meal this is not the spot.

So my friends and I went for brunch. The atmosphere is lovely. They had live dj that definitely entertained the crowd.But the food had a few issues. My pregnant friend found hair in food and though they took it off the menu she was left hungry. I ordered well done fried eggs and came out runny still. The food looked better than it tasted.

This place has gone down since I’ve been last. It was empty and the service was not good. We ordered appetizers Octopus and Oxtail dumplings both were bland and tasted weird. So we decided to leave after that

The appetizers were very small portion. The calamari was soggy. I ordered the Perking Chicken. It was a half of uncooked nasty chicken. It tasted like boiled chicken with no color or flavor. The rice and noodles taste like Chinese food, very bland with no spices. The drinks were weak, barely any alcohol in it. The atmosphere gave off a Cuban restaurant, but the food being served was not. I bought my chicken home to re-cook it, because I didn’t wanna embarrass the guest that I was eating with.

Lauren Smith

The 2 stars I’m giving is for the live band. Lack luster of an experience due to the fact my party of 9 was treated with sub par service. Everybody’s food came out 10-15 minutes apart. The waitress noted everyone’s order individually, then repeated the orders to each person. Somehow someway the person who was last to order never received his food. We were so hungry and spent 5 hours at a networking event for him to get played in his face. On top of everything it was his birthday too. We asked twice for the food and the second time was when the restaurant was already packing up the tables + chairs. On top of that they brought out dumplings which we never ordered. He had literally shown the waitress the photo + verbally asked for the beef braised noodles. In the end no apology or sincerity was given from anyone. The waitress stated they would remove the dumplings from our bill, as she should because we never ordered it, and then told us they would remove the braised beef noodles that never came, again as she should. This place is smoke and mirrors, aesthetically pleasing but horrible service. Maybe you need to be cool with the owner or employees to get decent service. Don’t recommend and I wish you don’t have the same experience

This place is beautiful but unfortunately the quality of service and food does not match the ambiance. My skirt steak tasted like the burnt pan they cooked it on, my bf had a hair in his drink, they don't tell you that 20% of gratuity is already added to the bill when you buy a drink at the bar and my server threw away my food even though I told him I wanted to take it home (I could've made the steak better at home) once he realized his mistake all he could say was sorry instead of actually resolving the issue, but maybe he didn't want to get in trouble, either way this could've been avoided if the music wasn't extremely loud, you can barely hear the person next to you. I think this place would be better off as a lounge or club, not up to restaurant standards.

Worst place I’ve ever been. The music was so loud that it was impossible to speak. Staff was nonexistent. They took our iPad menus before we even ordered. Staff was there instagramming food in high def LEDs blinding us. Food was terrible. Never come here.

Food is very salty, service sucks. They are know to cancel your reservation if they feel like it. Will never step foot in there again.

This place was horrendous. The food is mid a best and the live music was so loud that it was more of a negative than a positive. I can’t stress enough that I would never go back.

Went on Halloween night for an event they hosted. I paid a ticket in advance, waited in line for over an hour, just for them to refuse us entry at 1:40am. Not an establishment I would trust. They don’t value you’re money spent or time invested to support their business. Truly a 0/10

I should have known from booking the reservation how this night was going to go. The staff are super rude. This business won't last if they don't change things up. That night we went we spent over $1000 because we reserved bottle service. Waited til 530a for a band that never showed. Meanwhile you have underage kids in hoodies drinking and being rude to other patrons. You have "staff" getting drunk and not working. It honestly felt like a teen bash. Now im a mom, and if I ran a nightclub , I would want my teen kids with me where I can watch them instead of them somewhere else. HOWEVER, you should set the expectations high to show them how to grow this business by having them dressing and acting appropriately. Or AT LEAST moving the patrons that just spent over $1000 to an area where they can enjoy the DJs music. If my party would have shown up in sneakers and hoodies with a bag of Popeyes, we wouldn't have been let in. What saved the night was the music was good. But heads up-- Most of us have really stressful lives- working, running households, taking care of family. When we go out , especially when we are spending hard earned money, kindness and good service is what we need. And damn , at the end of the day, my $1000 just helped you pay your rent. If you cant provide that experience to your customers, than this is not the business you should run. Good luck!

Live music is cool but you still need to be able to hear yourself think and speak. Like Jesus y’all. Not trying to lose my voice over a meal. We had to scream to hear each other. The staff was also using LED spotlights to capture Instagram content next to us at prime dinner hour, consistently shining it at us…what a lovely ambiance. Additionally, they use iPads as menus. We hadn’t even ordered yet and the hostess took them…not to give to another table, just to put them back at the hostess stand. This + the ridiculously loud music makes this place literally the worst choice to try to enjoy a social dinner. Whoever is rating this well must be high. The food is not good. 3/4 people hated their meals and no one comes to check on you. 0/0 service. This is a dance hall that happens to serve food (mediocre food) and needs to be marketed as such.
