Neat looking trendy pan-Asian restaurant from former award winning food truck owners. Dumplings and small plates to die for – honestly, don’t bother ordering mains (although they are good!) because the share plates are incredible. Great bar with excellent cocktails, and excellent service.

Nice vibe, great staff, and delicious eats. Had the chicken dumplings, shaved beef with noodles, twice cooked pork belly, and the “churros” for desert. Everything was full of so much flavor. The meal went well with a sake flight, the yuzu sake was my favorite. Perfect plates for sharing. I would eat here again so as to try some of the other delicious looking options.

Went on a Saturday at 3pm which was perfect timing— not super busy and nice and quiet. Got a spot by the window and the lighting was great for pics! Parker was a great server- very attentive and offered some great recommendations. The gin & jam was delicious! Loved the pork dumplings and crispy brussel sprouts. Absolutely will come back.

Atmosphere and staff are pleasant. Went on Sat without a reservation and was told the wait time was 1 hour, though there were tons of open tables within 30 minutes. However, we sat at the bar immediately, and the bartenders were very pleasant and fun to talk with at times. We got the beef and pork dumplings, which were good but nothing special. I really enjoy dumplings that are a little softer and juicier. The kimchi tots are not worth it, just tator tots with some quite mild kimchi which should actually have a kick but didn’t. My friend got a amethyst gin drink, which she enjoyed. Glad we shared just a few dishes because I wouldn’t want to spend more money here.

I can’t praise this restaurant enough. Recently had a first date here as my date loves dumplings to say the least. As soon as the dumplings arrived she couldn’t help but try one before I even snagged a picture. When I did after we both can attest the dumplings are phenomenal. Tasty in every way exceeded expectations. We both will absolutely be back to try them all. I’m a huge fan of pho and that did not disappoint either. The staff was friendly and the waiter we had was extraordinarily nice and attentive. Can’t ask for anything better than this.

This Asian-fusion restaurant used to be in an old fire truck garage, they definitely get extra points for the design. I had the pork belly, which was pretty good with the exception of a lack of sauce over the corn and rice. It was a bit on the dry side. My partner had the coconut curry which was outstanding. The Moscow mule was great too. We also had every single one of their desserts, all absolutely fantastic.

For the price of dumplings you sure could get more. Other than that, they were good. Wings were good as well. Got half and half flavor. The lime dip sauce was meh

We arrived at the restaurant on Thursday evening. We enjoyed all the food, especially the short rib, the salad and dumplings. I found the Mocktail refreshing. The surrounding area of the restaurant is a little sketchy. Our server was friendly and professional.

Went here last night and was pretty stunned at the quality of food. The dumplings weren’t hot (like they’d been sitting waiting for the rest of our food) and I ordered a coffee and it was served cold. The waitress didn’t believe me and then told me someone had turned off their hot water so it would be awhile. Do they not use a coffee pot? I also ordered a pork belly bowl to go and didn’t see til this morning that this is what I paid $16 for.
