3.5 for sure on this new addition to my favourite College St strip.
We walked in on a Sat with no reservation. The place was busy, though nothing like the wild lines and wait next door. We cozied up to the bar. Great bartender, awesome cocktails. The place is slinky and sexy and not too kitchy in its nod to modern China. I found it really refreshing and very Hong Kong meets NYC.
We tried a number of items off the menu. All were tasty, though some extra small in portion and others a bit too sweet. Highlights were the truffle fried rice and the fried watermelon. But generally if you share you are sure to get a good mix of flavours and leave with a happy belly.
Great new spot and sure to continue to generate buzz as people in the city explore Chinese flavours away from the hubs on Spadina and in he burbs.
