    Loved the food. Had the Maine Lobster Summer Rolls for our app. The dipping sauce was really good. And we shared the Grilled Bronzino- the sauce was amazing. Really special dish and you get a lot of fish. And my favorite was the coconut rice. Melts in your mouth. For dessert they gave us Ube Flan in the house. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The servers are great, we sat right down with our rsvp, and I enjoyed the darker atmosphere as it beings a downtown vibe to Columbus Circle. I’m going back!

    The food was delicious, especially the crying tiger and crispy pork belly. They were so kind and accommodating with food allergies They have me a dessert and a very nice gift for my birthday even!! I don’t know if a birthday present is a normal thing or the server just was feeling generous but it was a lovely touch. It was also beautifully decorated and pricing seemed fair to me for portion size and quality, especially for midtown. We will eat here again.
