Got there today before our 5pm reservation as they were about to open the dining room. We were 2 of 5 people getting sat. We were ready to put our simple order of just 2 cocktails at the start. But were shooed away by the server. I understand completely there’s other people to give water to. But be real, as a service worker remembering 2 drinks is pretty easy if you’re just giving water to others. Espresso Martini is way below average. Other drink was whatever. Cheap but not cheap enough for what it is. Like bro, we’re your first table of service act a bit less douchey.

The kitchen is open late, which is nice. The prices are quite expensive for the quality/quantity. Overall okay, but unfortunately would not go back.

This place seems so great, but I was a bit let down. Their happy hour drinks are not the best. Batch made so the taste is okay. Food is also mid. Karaage was chewy, chive dumplings not crispy enough. The chili oil is good though. And $1 dumplings are p good. service was SO unbelievably slow, which is not a great look if you also have a 1.5 hour limit on a table.

Great staff. Cute hole in the wall vibe. Great for happy hour but also a late night drink. The food was good! I will dine-in again soon!
Andrew
Happy hour dumplings were tasty, fillings tasted good and were fried/steamed well but some were a little understuffed and doughy. Happy hour deal makes it pretty worth. Cocktails were really really good (half price for happy hour). Favorite was definitely the mousse a la peche, the foam was super tasty and the peach flavor came through just right.

My partner and my first date was at BC in 2022. Excellent food and service then and now—plus a fun ambiance in the evening. Get the garlic noodles!

The unlimited food and drink options was really good. Our server never let our glasses go empty. Would recommend with a group of friends and the price was reasonable

Upon checking in for our reservation, the host told us we had a 90 minute limit at the table. While 90 minutes is a reasonable time for two adults to enjoy a meal, the way he said it was offputting and made me feel the exact opposite of how I should feel when I'm going out for dinner on a Friday night, which is to be relaxed and happy. Frankly, a restaurant should be able to operate in a manner that it's service team and kitchen naturally paces a meal to have customers in and out in the timeframe the restaurant wants without communicating anything to the customer. Unless it's a formal restaurant with timed seating (which I assure you, this is not) or an “all you can eat or drink” offer, there is zero reason to put the pressure of time limit on the guest. If, and only if, there is an issue with guests lingering and not ordering or spending enough, then at that point absolutely can the server or manager step in. I will say that our actual server was delightful and was attentive without hovering. Had he not been so nice, when he came to our table to ask if we wanted to look at the dessert menu, I would have asked him if we had “enough time.” The food was fine, but it did not wow me enough to make up for such a bizarre start. Perhaps this restaurant is looking for guests under the age of 40 with a palate that plateaued at 20 who don't know any better or what this City's other restaurants can offer.
Andres was an amazing server!! It was really busy but he remained positive throughout my time here and provided excellent service. Even though we didn’t have a RSVP, Ian and Natalia gave us a table to order drinks and food and let us know that we had a limited time due to the table being booked at a later time. I love the service here and will be back!! Just moved to DC 4 months ago.

Absolutely fabulous service, food and experience! Planned a last minute birthday brunch for a party of 15 this past Sunday and everything was phenomenal. Our server was excellent and super accommodating both for our large party size and for the few allergies we had in our party. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Outstanding happy hour (half price cocktails and $4 basic dumpling) and great small plates and mains. A little noisy, but nothing out of the ordinary for a smallish place in the area. Food and drinks came out very quickly. You can't go wrong with this menu, but don't skip the gyoza de boeuf and the rangoon.

Food was great and fantastic happy hour deals. Only downfall is that the music was loud I feel like my server could hardly ever hear me and was screaming to try and talk to who I was with (which didn’t help the loudness of the atmosphere)
