I liked this place! It was yummy and in a good spot, the atmosphere was nice, the staff were friendly and ready to help! My dish was spicy and my server went out of his way to bring me a tissue. It was a good portion for the price, which was a nice surprise in NY!

Came around lunch time on a weekday. We ordered the weekday Prix Fixe & the Bento Box lunch. The portion is just right. Very freshly made meals. The service was good. I'll definitely going back again.

Keeping it real out here in LIC Their pre fix menu is actually insane. For $33 we were expecting tiny appetizer, alright sized entree and tiny dessert but everything actually came out supersized. Each of the appetizers alone can be shareable for 3 ppl, they’re actual entree size appetizers. We were all pretty full before the entree even showed up. Mochi ice cream for dessert was a nice touch Our host Tony is friendly, attentive and just great to be around. Solid solid spot

We stopped in in he middle of the week for a bite. The drinks definitely were enjoyble. E perfect balance of sweet and potent. The shrimp tempura was very light with a slightly sweet aoili. We had the duck mins one braised, and crispy both were delicious. We had to try the truffle fried rice although our dishes came with a side of white rice. It is light, and not salty at all. We thoroughly enjoyed all out dish. We will be back.

Went here for dinner and overall had a good time. There is a 4 course dinner special for $33 that is a great deal. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was gorgeous and the staff were friendly and attentive. I would recommend the crispy wings and the wonton soup, however the Thai basil beef cubes and the tomahawk short rib were a bit on the chewy side.

The interior design and the whole environment was the most memorable part of the visit, but unfortunately, the food does not leave any strong remarks. Avoid the chicken wings — they were oily and very heavily flavored, but didn't leave a very satisfactory feeling. The fried rice was also surprisingly plain, as if they forgot to add salt. While the flavor of the steamed fish was acceptable, the portion was disappointing (check the photo for reference). It’s a beautiful space, but the kitchen needs more consistency and better portions.

The food's alright. I got the 4-course pre-fixe menu. It's a 4-course lunch/dinner with soup, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. It's a pretty good deal. The service could be better, though. Our host forgot our silverware and the dessert. I wish they were more on top of things. And the restaurant wasn't even busy, so you'd think they'd be more attentive.

The food were not great. Flavors aren’t there for the soup, sweet and sour pork was not crispy.. and the golden prawns probably the saddest salted egg yolk prawns I’ve ever had. Jorge was great though

Service was good, food was passable. Black Truffle with Beef Cubes: Do not get this. I was looking forward to it as the dish was described on the menu as a “24 hour braise”. What we got was definitely not that. The beef was tough and stringy. Eating this became a mini jaw workout. Ended up looking forward more to flossing my teeth after. Sauce was alright — sweet and savory, with a subtle truffle flavor. There was no saving this dish due to the texture of the meat (especially given how it was described on the menu). Mongolian Jue Jue Pot with Chicken: The chicken was juicy, so that was good. Otherwise, it seemed like the standard stir fry with extra black pepper added to it. They put the little metal dish it’s served in, on a small pedestal that has a flame in it to make it look fancier. Overall, dissatisfied with the food although the service was friendly. Would skip this place.

I was really disappointed with this restaurant. I ordered four dishes, and two of them were a letdown. The first appetizer — braised beef and beef tendon — was actually pretty good. But then the second dish, braised organic duck, came out full of necks and wings, and I could only find one small piece of actual meat. When I asked the manager about it, he said that’s just how the dish is made. I paid $28 just to eat a pile of bones? He replaced it with a crispy duck, which did have meat, but the duck itself had no flavor at all — it only tasted decent with the dipping sauce. Next, I ordered stir-fried water spinach, but they brought stir-fried watercress instead, and it was really tough. I didn’t even bother asking them to change it. The last dish, mapo tofu, was fine — probably the only one worth eating. Service was also painfully slow. I had to wait so long between dishes that my rice got cold before the next one arrived. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Definitely not worth the price or the wait.
