| - Went here tonight, I know it's only been open 1 day but there are some serious flaws in the concept. The food was ok, nothing very good. It is crazy expensive. I know it's the strip but you are paying $6 for 4 tiny shumai. Or $9 for a bowl with 1 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of beef and 2 strips of pickled ginger. I got the BBQ duck and pork plate, $16. The duck was bad, there was no meat on any of the bones and it was super fatty. They did not render the fat out. The pork was pretty good. The pork bao was not very good, the bao was the frozen variety. After asking for a beer and getting a crazy look from a girl at their bar, I asked if they were still open. She shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know. 5 minutes later I saw another guy at the bar, I told him what happened. He apologized and got me an Asahi draft for $9.19!
Ok despite the prices there are other issues. The presentation is worse than Panda Express. There is no thought put into how the food looks. The whole set up is super confusing. There are some signs and pricing but some booths have no signs or very minimal signs. Plus you have to pay at every booth. You want bao, wait in line and pay. Ramen? Wait in line and pay. Beer. Hope someone is there, wait and pay. My friend ordered shumai and since it's so disorganized they gave it to someone else after her. Very poor set up. Ultimately for the price, you expect better food and service.
I know they opened yesterday and it's a beautiful space, but quite frankly this concept is not working in its current state. I wish them the best but I won't be back.
