Meh... Not impressed. Hype doesn't match what I thought I was going to get. Tables on top of each other so close you can hear everyone else's conversation... Entertaining as that may be perhaps save the fancy wood slat ceiling and put in something acoustic to absorb the sound of too many people in a small space.
Tried all the steam buns... Pretty good actually. Confused why it was called pineapple duck confit - - - Nothing confit about it, it was deep fried... Perhaps cooked confit but definitely was finished deep fried. Flavorless. Seriously disappointed. Not screwing around or exaggerating...we really really really were expecting something special based on all the talk about this place. I had braised short rib...hard to mess up right? They give chopsticks so you should be able to eat every dish with chopsticks. Wrong. So tough on the outside I had to bring in reinforcements and use chopsticks in one hand and fork in the other. It was a cute presentation of a hot meat over the top of a cold potato salad... Ya hot over cold.... Dumb not edgy. **If you want a "wow factor" short rib dish go try Beau McMillan's at Elements at Sanctuary....hot meat over hot side
Their cocktail menu is cool, creative... Probably what's keeping them alive since the bar was full, drinks were good, and the price was same as an entree.
