It is a nice place, we ordered three drinks, beer and cocktails. The cocktails had a good amount of alcohol and the service was great. I highly recommend it. We will be back.

Super cute place! Came here for a happy hour fundraiser. Love the decor! The space really reflects Chinese architecture! I would definitely bring my parents to this space because I think they’d love the modern twist while feeling nostalgic! The drinks are delicious. One of the best espresso and lychee martinis!During happy hour it’s buy 2 get one free! Until 9pm I believe!

Such a great spot to hang out with friends with a fun playlist and yummy drinks! It’s become our new to go spot now!

Great happy hour deal that goes until 9! Surprisingly empty on a weeknight. Good spot for a group!

Are all good cocktail bars found at the bottom of stairs? Great place not too far from Little Island and the southern end of the Highline to come for a drink, super tasty Lychee Martini and friendly bar service.

Great location, good happy hour, and interesting mixed drinks. it's not easy to find, but the exposed brick and underground setting were really fun.

If you’re over the age of 22, this isn’t really what you’ll be looking for. It has an intern bar feel. No phone service as it’s in a basement. The music and vibe are both off.It might be nice for a corporate event as there’s a large space for standing.The decor is severely lacking. It just looks like a basement that was quickly converted to a bar.

Underground cocktail bar with cool ambience serving asian inspired plates and cocktails. Calamari was the tentacles cut, which I prefer, it was fresh and delicious. The popcorn chicken was well seasoned and came with a hoisin dipping sauce.
Came here for a drink with the gf based on the good reviews. The cocktails and snacks we got were both excellent, but I gotta say I was disappointed with the music selection.They have a very nice, dimly lit basement vibe going on.. the place is begging for some jazz or lo-fi.. but rather than playing something chill and soothing I got to listen to cringey pop stuff like "who let the dogs out" and "I want it that way".It really killed the mood. I'm giving 5 stars anyway because the service was also friendly and very attentive and my music tastes aren't the same as everyone elses.Please consider putting in a jazz pianist or some cool electronic music. If you need references I can give them to you!

Great for groups or a couple. I can't say enough good things about this place. I wanted a birthday gathering of some friends, some good drinks, some good snacks, Where we didn't feel crowded or unwelcome. Helen's spacious. The staff is gracious. The drinks and food are fun. It's great for groups but I could imagine having a gathering of just a few friends too. In an area that's rife with crowded hip restaurants and overprice food and drinks and rude staff, this is a gem. And it's beyond hip, it's super cool. Love the decor too.The music mix was fun, not too loud or soft.I love the decor.

This place is awesome. We went there 3 nights ago because we wanted some cocktails and end up here by coincidence. They have a nice cocktail menu, we tried almost all of the drinks they have, all of them served with great alcohol brands. I think we were served by the owner, a very nice and kind person who recommended us drinks and served us amazing cocktails. Music is ok, not too loud and it gives a great atmosphere. Everything was super clean and they served us lots of tap water, which we really appreciate, it helps with the hangover! Definitely would go back!
