“Dena is the best server ever. I’ve been coming here for a while now and I don’t even have to tell her what I want. She just brings it out.”
“So delicious 😋 and very big portions. We started with the crispy Brussels sprouts. Absolutely unreal 👏. Highly recommend. Then had the pai Thai and the crispy shrimp 🍤 with candied walnuts. Everything was amazing amazing. Their drink 🍸 menu is very unique.”
“Martin made our experience so enjoyable! The wagyu sticky rice and pork belly bao buns were my favorite and he treated us to a lovely dessert for my birthday. We will be back!”
“Ah! Love this place! We’re from Florida and tried the Tampa location which was awesome as well, but this particular visit was extra special as our waiter Ezra was SOOOOO kind and such a sweet soul! He was so attentive and really made our experience 5/5 stars! Give this man a raise! Thank you so much Ezra! The Sinigang and ube martini made my Filipina heart so happy!”
“Delicious and sophisticated taste. We had brussel sprout, sinigang pork belly, garlic noodles and wagyu crispy rice. Everything are balanced and amazing. Knowing us not big drinkers, the host gave us free non alcoholic lychee bloom which is like cherry on top, so so good. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Amazing experience, staff was friendly and very quick with meeting needs. Our waiter Jerry was amazing and answered any and all questions we had. Our only qualm was it got a bit loud with the people and music combined but nothing deafening.”
“An Asian restaurant with a tapas-style concept, offering excellent sushi and Filipino cuisine. The service was notably impressive, with attentive staff.”
“The food was absolutely amazing! The service was 100% outstanding from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the managers were truly delightful. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Great location! The food was amazing the service was unbelievable! Kimberly you are the best! She's did such amazing job with our dining experience!. Food tasted so fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend!”
“Came here for the Chinese new year celebration, absolutely amazing experience. The service was phenomenal, our server Bree was so attentive and informative, paced out the food perfectly🤌🏾. Her recommendation were spot on with the pulse of what was good. Can't stress enough that you should hear what the servers are passionate about in terms of what is good, if only because the menu being so extensive you can easily get overwhelmed. Thanks again Bree, you were so great☺️”
“Shout out to Dena. She got the portion perfect for our group of 6. Perfect service. No complaints. Dena is the best fr.”
“Sunda, what a delicious experience 😋 I would come back for the Wagyu sticky rice alone. The Wagyu steak literally melts into a buttery, savory bite of pure goodness. Absolutely unreal. My wife is the #1 fan of the oxtail potstickers — and after trying them, I get it. Incredible flavor. The main dishes were fantastic across the board, and the whole experience felt elevated from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back!”
