Upon first impression the atmosphere felt forced and some what pretentious. The decor reeks of Toronto trendiness and the desperation to appear eclectic. Everything was poorly muddled together in a painfully "casual" way. Everyone in the room - including the staff - appeared uncomfortable. We were served promptly, however we were seated next to the bussing station and therefore always had a staff member within a foot behind us which didn't make the experience very intimate. The food itself was decent. The fried chicken was pretty great, with the nice watermelon pickle. The dirty rice was dry and unimaginative. All in all the experience was mediocre. It was not bad, it just wasn't great. We left feeling as if we spent too much money on a pretty boring experience.
