    Food was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)

    First time here and loved our experience! The food was amazing but our server Ray was the real stay. He was kind, cool, knew the menu and where to push us based on allergies or preferences. The vibe is immaculate.

    It was great! The drinks are to die for and it’s very much similar to real Japanese cuisine! I was a little apprehensive when I saw the circus signs but once the food came out the signs felt like a little tinge of personality :) really really enjoyed my experience, would recommend if you want a chill place to get some food with friends or a partner!
