The meatballs were terrible. They tasted like something from the frozen section of Walmart.

I used to frequent this restaurant & they were amazing in their first year! We hadn’t been back since April because we didn’t have a great experience & tonight confirmed that sadly.
We got the Tamaki Crunchwrap, Fried Chicken, & Pork Katsu. The Crunchwrap has always been one of our favorites but it’s different- bland, slices of fish, not enough sauce.
I’m pretty sure the chicken is prepped, cooked & frozen to be refried because the batter didn’t stick to the chicken/crumbled and it was stone cold in the smallest middle of the chicken- but it was cooked.
The pork Katsu was just okay. It was already cut when it came to the table & it was room temperature. Once again, the batter fell apart. The Cabbage was drown in the ceaser dressing (which tasted great but was too much).
The Tamaki Crunchwrap was delivered last- which would be a cold side item so we expected to get that first.
Our waitress wasn’t super present so we didn’t really get to tell her our input- I WILL SAY there is a server who took our photo & delivered our food which has worked here for a while! She is a delight!
It wasn’t busy. It was a Wednesday night.
This was disappointing & I can honestly say I have no intention of returning.
Here is a photo of the Crunchwrap in the beginning of 2025 vs now

I went here back in May and had the three course meal with accompanying cocktails along with my fiance. We really enjoyed our experience here! The cocktails were absolutely delicious, and though we can't say that we LOVED every part of our meal, we liked everything and appreciated the innovativeness of the dishes. Definitely recommend if you are want to try something new! Staff were also great and timed our next courses perfectly and the dining area was lovely and comfortable.

I love, love, love The Dragon Room. The meatballs are amazing. I NEVER order meatballs in a restaurant because they are usually dense, flavorless and I’m picky about meat quality. But knowing this is one of Kristian’s restaurants, I tried them. Now I’m addicted. They are tender, light, packed with flavor. A total home run.
Additionally, I’ve never had a dish here that wasn’t terrific…pork belly, Dan Dan noodles, curry dumplings, lobster Rangoon dip. You can’t go wrong! And, the menu totally lends itself to ordering multiple dishes and sharing.

Have to back to this tiki bar! Drinks were fabulous.
Might seem silly but I loved the bathroom.

Wonderful inventive food and cocktails. !! . Do read the menu carefully —- if it says mayo it has mayo, etc. Nothing is premade and everything is as described in detail on the menu, which is not typical of many fusion style restaurants . Plus the menu changes often which keeps things interesting. The management seems very organized and tye servers are friendly .

Thank you for a amazing experience
I spent 4 years in Korea and eating this food from the first bite remind me of their amazing cuisines. My server adgy was excellent and very helpful in the every way from the time we ended the restaurant. I will definitely come back again.

Had to try this place, staff was nice, the manager came out and comped the items we didn’t eat. The atmosphere is a vibe, the location nice, the food is awful. We eat everywhere and this was one of the worst. Nothing came to the table hot, not even warm. Nothing tasted good. The fried dumplings weren’t good. The steamed dumplings were horrible, they tasted like Gain laundry detergent. The cucumbers inedible. The ribs cold. The string beans ice cold with some weird sauce on them. Meatballs were awful and not fresh, tasted freezer burned. Beyond the cold temperatures, we love Korean food, this food was tasteless, lacked any flavor. They got the fermentation flavor down pat, because that’s the only flavor you could taste. Nothing tasted fresh, the mixed drink was bad too. I took one bite of everything and none of it made me smile, the corn and the spring roll was the only thing edible. My advice, hire a new cook, taste what you are serving.

Ordered delivery - both dumpling types, bao buns, and side of rice - the steamed dumplings were cold and raw on the inside and the bao buns were inedible. I couldn’t eat half of the $50 order! I did like the chicken curry dumpling though, and those were fried.

The place has a nice atmosphere and the cocktails were great. The ramen wasn’t very good, but I don’t think that’s their specialty. I recommend trying a different dish, the appetizer and dessert were good

First time visiting! I have been wanting to go and finally got the chance. I was Not disappointed! I loved the ambience, the food was unique and delicious, and can't forget....the music 🎶! I really enjoyed myself and can't wait to go back. The lobster rangoon dip was 👩🏾🍳s🤌🏾. I couldn't scrape the bowl more thoroughly 😭🤣. I enjoyed the tamaki crunchwrap but not the tuna. I've never had bluefin tuna but I found it tough to chew 😕. The Peaches and Chicken Bao were Delightful 😋! I saved room for dessert and ended with the Not Fried Chicken ice cream. You couldn't tell me it wasn't piece of Bojangles/Church's chicken with all that CRUNCH!! Boy, I tell you 😅😅!!! I want to go on one of their special nights but it doesn't matter to me as long as I get to go. 🤘🏾
