Sorely disappointed in our dinner experience. We got the Korean wings which were served with a straight up cup of fish sauce and not spicy at all. Thai curry fried rice had woody pineapple (if you could find any) and a burnt taste although the...Read More

Low key atmosphere and casual staff give way to AMAZING Asian cuisine. We had the Mei-Fun and the delicate noodles were full of complex flavor. The Chashew Plate was fantastic. The sauce was delicious and all the vegetables fresh. Must try.
