Loved it, service was smooth, food was excellent, drinks were good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cool, and had a really nice evening, looking foward to go back. Their Edamame Dumplings were excellent and something different from the usual, flavors and textures in the best way possible. Bao Bun with the Rock Shrimp was on point, shrimp was crunchy and tender, Bao Buns were soft and pillow like. We had a whole Branzino, which was delicately fried, flaky with crispy skin and the sauce with black beans was creative touch and it bought me back to a dish that enjoyed when I worked at a Asian place. (Won't disclose location.) 😅 Lo Mein was also really good, if I where to be nitpicking the Rice Noodles instead of egg noodles was not bad but I would have rather have the classic noodles. Dessert list it's probably the best dessert list I have seen in Philly. It took us a while to even decide what were we picking. That being said I love the creativity with the Creme Brulee, the plating was wierd though (looked like a nest). But it was really tasty and I beleive it can be better. More of that cinnamon foam, more crumbles, put in some toasted caramel pieces and move the topping on top that way you still get the crunchy top with a better presentation👌🏼. Nonetheless everything was great.

Excellent food! If you are looking to expand your palate with delicious asian food you should give it a try. The dishes are full of creativity and the fact that everything is for sharing makes the experience more warm and fun, I have been here a couple of times and it has never been a disappointment. Dumplings are a must have!

Exceptional service. Food? What can I say amazing! My child did very well here she was happy to be able to customize her child’s plate with adding shrimp to her lo mein. They had amazing mock-tails. The only suggestion I would make is to have a more organized entry way it can get a little crowded while waiting to be seated

We had the opportunity to visit and try this restaurant while traveling on business to Philadelphia. The space itself is impressive, however as we visited on a cold winter day they were having trouble keeping the space warm, and many were asking about being able to get the space to a more comfortable temperature. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and knew all the offerings and suggested items as it was our first time. The food and experience was overall good. Seems like a great place to go with a group or for a special celebration!
