Had a fantastic large group dining experience here.
We Reserved tables for a birthday celebration for 12 people & Tim and his team did a great job with preparing the delicious dishes including some of the special pre-requested by us, like lobsters, uni sushi for 12 people, table decorations, and more.

Uni and sushi are fresh. Thai foods flavors are on point. Peking duck is delicious. Beef dishes were tender. Noodles are yummy. So are the drinks.
