My mom is a librarian, so I took her here when she came for a visit last year. We went to every floor, and checked in every room. My mom loved it here. It's very nice, and very well organized.

The cutest and nicest looking salon ever! I got my hair cut and full head highlights there about a month or so ago. My hair cut experience was just so-so. I think it was because I didnt really know what I wanted. I only told the hair-stylist that I…More »

Just an overall average first impression after our first visit last night.

The decor was nice and not too crowded. There was a nice full bar as well as a sushi bar. As the name suggested, the restaurant menu emphasized on steak and sushi. I guess the…More »

Im Thai, so I have high standard when it comes to Thai food. I expect that  the professional cooks should make better tasting dishes than when I cook at home. That being said, King & I didnt really quite do it for me.

What I like the most is the…More »

It was a fun experience, but was it really worth the money? I dont think so.

The cheese fondue was really lacking in flavor. I didnt think the cheese was of great quality either. The filet mignon and the shrimp from the entree were well seasoned and…More »

Macaron review only!

I and my friend had lunch nearby so I thought we'd stop here to try their macarons. We tried the chocolate, hazelnut, and salted caramel. The only good thing for their macarons was probably the size. It was of decent size for the…More »
