OMG! I was high on how good the food was. Asian / Southern fusion done soooo well… lots of great restaurants around, but this was one those rare dining experiences where every bite I tried was a new and unique flavor experience that both delighted and surprised me! I can’t tell you the last time I enjoyed a new restaurant more than I enjoyed this tonight. ☺️🤤🍴🍛 And after letting the staff know how very much I enjoyed the food, I was pleasantly NOT surprised to learn the owner is currently a finalist on Top Chef and the tv show City Eats was just here earlier this week to feature them on their show. I’ve rarely left a restaurant feeling actual gratitude over the fact they exist.

Soft shell crab sandwich ($28) was significantly smaller than pictured on their Instagram page. Did enjoy the crab rangoon flavor, but crab was much smaller than other softie sandwiches I’ve had at other places this year. Also ordered the bbq spareribs over noodles ($16) and the meat was much drier and leaner than the previous time I ordered it. Bok choy was also the thick (white-stem) kind, not the bok choy tips.

Had my husbands bday party here and had the best time! I was worried about not taking reservations but Haley & the rest of the team took such good care of our group of 10 out on the patio. The food was so good too! 10/10!!!

If you’re a BBQ lover, this place is a must-visit! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the brisket was juicy and packed with flavor, and the smoky aroma hit as soon as I walked in. The sauces were on point, and the sides—especially the mac and cheese—were the perfect complement. Friendly staff, great portions, and an overall amazing BBQ experience. I’ll definitely be back for more

To say the food was amazing is an understatement. We found this gem while watching On the Line on the Bon Appetit Channel on Thursday evening not knowing that it was so close to us. We made the drive down on Saturday from Myrtle Beach, and to say it was everything that I thought it would be and then some. We came for the Shrimp Sliders and they were well worth the drive. Will definitely be coming back again with a bigger appetite.

Cool atmosphere, nice bar, and good amount of restuarant seating (adaquate parking too). Food was pretty good. Its spicy, ask for them to go easy on the heat if you cant handle full spice. Decently affordable. I ended up eating half my plate, taking the rest togo, and eating all of it for left overs. So nothing to really complain about. I think its a good spot to go to every once in awhile. Ill be going back, either for a drink at the bar or for food sometime.

Unique take on BBQ! Definitely try the shrimp toast sliders and the Crab Rangoon for an app!

The atmosphere and the server who took my order was very nice. The food is okay for South Carolina but coming from NYC and missing some Chinese food. This spot wasn’t it for me. I got the disco fries which is their best item in my opinion. The fries and the gravy were perfect. I got the bok choy with xo sauce as a side and the veggies were bathing in sauce. Flavor was alright but they did use a sha cha sauce on top which was kind of weird. Sha cha is like a bbq sauce usually used for hot pot dipping sauce. Egg noodle with pork belly was okay, noodles were good. Pork belly was missing flavor and the crunchy skin was way too crunchy. You can crack your tooth if you bite down on it. The duck was probably the worse thing I ordered. The slices of duck were thick like Peter Luger bacon thick. The fat on some pieces were inedible and the skin wasn’t even crispy. I did see a lot of people getting their more western items like the sandwiches. I think if you come here, stick with the sandwiches and disco fries. The eastern items were meh, if you’re from NYC, Boston , or any places with a lot of Chinese cuisine. This will not satisfy your craving.

We first walked in and thought that we had to wait to get seated. Nah! Grab a menu, give your order, and sit wherever. That's a lot of pressure when it's your first time, so we ordered a pitcher of Sapporo, took the menu, and took our time to order. I won't tell you what we ordered because what I like and what you like may be different. I will say that the duck is cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, just the way I like it. Yum. The place had a good vibe. Parking was adequate. We will definitely be going back.
