Yah, I see a lot 4-5 stars for this place, but the staff ruined my experience here.

So we show up here at about 11:50am, and the manager (at least we assume he was) informs us that they'll be having another larger group in there at about 1:30.  Ok, we…More »

Called this place to make a reso, but apparently they don't do that.  First come first serve.  Sure no problem, been wanting to try they place out for a while now so my gf and I stopped by for a quick meal.  Good thing was that there was no line up…More »

Very busy joint, but an overrated meal for me.

This place boasts about their handmade noodles.  They have many kinds of noodles in which they make in house: dragging noodles, pushing noodles, and cutting noodles just to name a few.

I ordered the…More »

So the other day, I just had the most expensive burger of my life.  Was it worth it????????  Well, I wouldn't have gave it 2 star if it was!

The Place:
The place has a pretty nice patio space (probably great for summer time), and the inside has a very…More »

I really love the layout of the this cafe, the modern look to an old school diner was a really neat idea!  Open kitchen, fresh desserts, friendly atmosphere, and great coffee =)

Wow is this the only dim sum place open at 930 in the morning?!  What happened to the good old days when yum cha started early?

I'm just going to sum this up and make it easy for all of you.  Over priced food and only average dim sum.

They have a few…More »

An hour wait to get a seat?  Hardly worth it!!!!

I'm not a big fan of line ups, cause I feel a lot of people hype it up and give more value to something they actually waited for.  So since there were soooooo much hype about trying this place out, I…More »
