Had dinner here on July 4th — really appreciate that they were open on the holiday! The food was flavorful, creative, and had a unique twist while still staying true to the Chinese flavors I love. A wonderful blend of authenticity and innovation. Highly recommend!
Drinks were very good and had a fun selection. Our food was good but a bit overpriced. Our waiter was lovely, but the hosts were un-accommodating when it rained on our outdoor dinner (despite many free indoor tables) and overall a bit rude.
It's a super nice place. I was looking for a more cozy place, but it was fine being there. The service is amazing, and the food is litteraly 10/10. It's better to tell your server about your spice tolerance level before ordering, because some spicy food can warm you up.
We had a reservation for 5 pm, got sat right away but from the moment we sat down we were rushed. The waitress stopped by our table no less than 15 times throughout our time there to push us along. We ordered two rounds of drinks, apps, and entrees so there was no reason to be rushing us. The reservation did not indicate a time limit. By 6:30 they had dropped the check at our table even though we still had full drinks. When spending over $200 (would likely have been more, given more time) I expect to have a nice, relaxing time. By 6:45 they came and requested that we leave so another reservation could site. I understand it's a busy place but time limits should be indicated on the reservation. The drinks were great but this is not the kind of place to come for a leisurely catch-up with friends.
A must try! The food is always incredible and fresh. The drinks are delicious. The service is wonderful!
No dole whip despite advertising it
One of my favorite bars in Boston! Try the Duan’s Whip cocktail. It’s a cocktail with dole whip! Makes me miss WDW.
Vegetarian options: Vegetable section on the menu and tofu options.

A very unique interior and decent drinks.
The bar’s backdrop and ceilings were a unique pastel green that, with a smart use of lighting, transitioned progressively into the dining area’s slate walls and intimately lit environment. It shouldn’t have worked, but it did!
The drinks were decent. We also got chicken wings, but I really don’t think they were worth 18$. The bartender took a while to get to us, but it was understandable from how busy it was.
The one thing that stood out was that when we closed out, the bartender processed our payment and did not look at us or say anything afterwards: no “have a good night” “thank you” or anything like that. We didn’t tip badly nor were we hard to deal with, so I’m not sure why the cold treatment. Again, it was a busy night but the last interaction you have with your customers is important, especially if you want repeat customers.

Went on a Wednesday. Drinks and service were great. The place was crowded and loud, but the bartender was awesome. I ordered a dish to bring home. When I tried to eat it, I found a piece of stainless steel wire in my chicken. No injury, but when I called to let them know and to ask for a refund, I got ghosted. Never returned my call. I disputed charge for the dish to my cc company. Used to love this place.

Great little place in Cambridge. Food was great, and cocktails looked very interesting. The couple I had though were pretty nice, just not outstanding. I would recommend it for a unique sichuan chinese + cocktail experience.

Great service and great food! Gets loud at peak dinner hours but that attests to how good this place is :) lunch is a little less crowded if you prefer a quieter meal
