One of my favorite LA restaurants. The food is always good, regardless of what night of the week or weekend you go there. The oxtail dumplings, snap peas, octopus skewers, and the eggplants are my favorite small dishes and the ribeye and the whole snapper are the favorite mains. The only food item that I had and did not like was the skirt steak. It had no flavor whatsoever.Top it all off with the strawberry custard and the chocolate bar for dessert.

I walked in with my family visiting LA. Didn’t know what to expect but this place sure did blow away our expectations. The food was AMAZING. Lamb shank melting off the bone, extra crispy fried snapper and cauliflower and amazing small plates. But what really took this experience over the top was our server at the end, JONAH, bringing us one of the most the best desserts, the strawberry crostada, we’ve ever had. Such humor, smoothness and making us feel comfortable. The food, ambiance and service all combined for a great experience for visiting family and I. Can’t recommend this place more than enough if you have visitors coming to LA and you want to impress them.
WOW! What a find! I came to this place years ago and then, having moved out of the neighborhood, I forgot about it. I bumped into it last night with a colleague and we decided to give it a go. It was beyond any expectations. The place is lovely and welcoming. The food is sublime. Everything that came put of the kitchen was somehow not exactly what we expected, in a very good way. Every dish surprised us with new and delicious flavors. We had a great night and I can't wait to come back!

Really enjoyed our meal here. The English peas served edamame style was our favorite app. We also enjoyed the hangar steak and the shellfish pot. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The dishes are meant to be shared so go with folks who like to eat. All in all a fun date night out.

Fantastic food, superb service and awesome atmosphere! I don't give 5 stars often but they truly deserve it. Everything we ordered was a carefully crafted culinary creation! The flavor pairing was spot on. Every taste bud in my mouth was craving more! I'm looking forward to eating every dish on the menu!

If I could have had more off the menu I would have done, but I don't think my waistline would have been best pleased. Really great variety of dishes to cater for a myriad of different tastes. Mostly small plates to share on the table (which I love as you get to try a bit of everything) wonderful industrial feel to the place as well. Staff were helpful and gave us good advice for selections off the menu. We'll just have to visit again sometime to try the other dishes.

The food was not that great; everything was bland and not worth the price.
Terrible attitude and service from Andrew in particular. Will not be coming

What a big disappointment! We came here because it was highly recommended by our friends and all the positive reviews. Upon entering, the ambiance was very nice, but we were ushered to the second room in the back, which looked to be a convered outdoor area. It was well heated but didn't offer the same atmosphere as the main area. Ordered the oxtail dumplings, octopus skewers, hanger steak, and black cod. The ingredients of the food all seem very fresh, but unfortunately, the octopus skewers and oxtail dumplings were inedible because it was extremely salty! I tried to rinse off the salt by washing it with my water to no avail. Had to spit out what ended up in my mouth because it was just too salty. Personally, I like well seasoned food but it was just overly salted. The hanger steak was nicely prepared and the only dish that was properly seasoned. The risotto that came with the fish, and what I was looking forward to eating was so salty I couldn't even eat it. The staff seemed to understand our feedback and took out one of the appetizers for us, but honestly, more than half the dishes were just not edible and poorly executed. Service was mediocre. Not bad, not great. The food all came out quickly. I like the Asian fusiom concept, but it was poorly executed and a miss for us. I rater go to a Chinese restaurant and eat better prepared food for a fraction of the price. Honestly, the experience was not good at all and toally not worth it.

The restaurant needs to buy one can of WD-40 to fix their squeaky front door. Had to wait 20 minutes outside the front door waiting for our table (which was not a big deal) but for the incredibly squeaky front door which opens repeatedly. Everyone waiting for their table was getting a headache. Food was great. I won't return until I know that door is fixed.

We had a party of over 20 people last night for a birthday celebration. We worked with the chef prior to the event to pick our a menu with 3 meal options. We picked our side dishes and deserts that were served family style. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal. Everyone loved the food and especially the oxtail dumplings. Everything was first class and exceeded our expectations. It made for a very special night.
