| - Order: Vietnamese Delight Paper Rolls, Panang Curry w/Chicken, Malaysia Style Paste Fried Noodles, Fuzzy Martini, Pear Martini
Being one of the only asian restaurants on its strip, there wasn't any competition too pull us elsewhere. The hostess out front was also friendly and eager to show u the menus and highlight their best dishes. Immediately upon entering, the restaurant gives off a very chic, young, club-like vibe. The asian fusion theme is plastered everywhere as well with bright reds and imagery of cherry blossoms. As far as atmosphere goes, this place gets a thumbs up. The service was pretty on spot and helpful too. But too bad my review isn't solely based on that.
The head chef here is from Malaysia so I would assume the Malaysian-infused foods here would be the best and safest picks off their menu. And because of that we ordered the malaysian noodles, hoping to be dazzled. However the flavor was somewhat lacking and for whatever reason, all you could really taste were the noodles. I was disappointed, but at the least, the curry was pretty good. I like to ask what the popular items or the chef's picks are when I order, and always find it disappointing when the dish comes out lack luster. And that was the main reason for the 3-star rating I'm giving it.
[Pros]
+ very young, high energy type atmosphere - yet quiet enough that you don't have to yell or talk over background music
+ great service from waiters and servers
+ presentation of food was great
[Cons]
- didn't find the food to be as amazing as everything else
[Side Notes]
* wednesdays are $4.50 Martini nights
* reservations can be made on the 2nd floor for more intimate, private meetings/meals
