This is a new Chinese/fusion restaurant located in the Dundas/Ossington strip. I loved the colour scheme of pastel pinks and seaform green. The front of the restaurant (where we were seated) is bright with big windows facing onto the busy Dundas strip. Further back, the restaurant seems to have a totally different vibe decked out with minimal lighting and a clublike feel. The washrooms looked like a dirty club from the 60's with just stalls and a communal sink and seating area.
Upon arriving at the restaurant and alerting the hostess that we had a reservation, they weren't able to find it in their system. After some back and forth and going through my phone, I showed them the confirmation email. The hostess kept looking and realized that the reservation was received but they had failed to assign us a table. They sat us about 5 mins later but was not the most pleasant way to start the dining experience. The service continued to be amiss the rest of the night.
It took a while for someone to greet us at our table or bring water to the point where we called another service over to get us some water. The menu is broken up into sections such as appetizers, mains and sides. We definitely over ordered. I liked the veggie dumplings, dan dan noodles and the rice cakes were unbelievable. I found some of the dishes too spicy and was disappointed that spice levels could not be adjusted due to their commitment to keep food authentic (kinda ironic considering the club feel is not so authentic).
I had asked around 9:30pm if I could close the window that I was sitting against because it was windy and was told they like to keep the party vibe going ... Once we got the bill, we noticed the price on the bill and on the credit card terminal were different (terminal showed $10 more). I assume it was an honest mistake but we very easily could not have noticed. The waiter had to get another person to override it and while I do believe it was a mistake, they didn't feel too bad.
Safe to say that while some of the dishes were interesting, I would not come back.
