That was my favourite thing about this place. To me – but, I am someone who can cook and who has been eating in chinese restaurants for a long, long time – the food was not as outstanding as implied on the blog. It was also overpriced for what we got, though everything tasted good….but, not fantastic.

The cocktails tasted…..weird. Not yummy. I loved the clipboard art displays, silver on the walls. Staff was – very good if a bit clipped. *They all looked very groovy – so it was a bit more about looking groovy than ??? was the vibe I got. The dumplings we had were not nearly as good as regular ones in a good chinese restaurant or at a dim sum place. I found the vibe somewhat….affected, ego-ish – young, hoping to be edgy….not my cup of oolong :-)

I will definitely be back again and again, I love the interior and the food was outstanding. Definitely a gem!
