Came here with a group of 6 on a Thursday evening. We made reservations, but it didn't seem like they were needed.
The decor and atmosphere were great. Really trendy and much different from what you see in other restaurants in Chinatown. There's a huge photo of Mao staring down at you from the wall. Amusing to some, but it's almost like the Chairman is staring at you while you eat. ;)
Food was hit and miss. We tried a lot of different dishes since there were so many of us.
The Good:
CSB (bbq pork buns) - I thought these were great and tasty. They're a hybrid of bbq pork filling but in a pineapple bun pastry. Must try if you like Chinese buns.
Grandpa's Fun Gao - I didn't think I would like these, but they turned out to be very tasty. Everyone at the table loved them.
Scallop Ceviche - Also delicious, but I'm big ceviche fan so I guess I'm biased. I didn't find the lime to be too overpowering, which can sometimes happen with ceviche.
Cauliflower Curry - Surprisingly tasty as well. The curry sauce was subtle, but still had some complex flavours. One of the favourite dishes of the night.
The Bad:
Potstickers - I thought these were overly fried and didn't taste like much other than the "friendness" of it all.
Ebiyaki - I also thought these were overly fried and were just big doughy balls of fried stuff.
Jerk Chicken Bao - This bao tasted sweet to me and I just dislike the combination.
Beef Curry - Way too much star anise/five spice flavour for my palette, but my friend liked it so there's that.
Seafood Chow Mein - I found this underwhelming but not to the extent some other Yelpers did. I would still recommend you order it to try and make up your own mind.
Mango Panna Cotta - I had high hopes for this one as the description sounded delicious, but I was let down. The panna cotta was not nearly as smooth and creamy as I expected it to be.
I would go back to try the Peking Duck - I've heard it's amazing, but you need to order it a day in advance so the kitchen can properly prep.
