"My friend and I wanted to try this place for years, but appointments never allowed him. The stars finally aligned and we have a table to celebrate my birthday, which turned out to be one of the best dinners I've ever been treated with. We were surprised with complementary dishes such as a surprisingly tasty assortment of French french fries. You never really think that a French frit could be delectable, but if you cook them well and you have good season to go with, there is no substitute. We were also treated to some amazing Cacio e Pepe with truffle bread on the side, which while a very simple dish, packed a stamp with flavors that are made easy that you want to dig. But knowing my steak was the most important event, I let most of him go to my friend and mother, who were kind enough to bring me here. But wait, we're not done! To wash everything, we got a nice sampling of the Michael Mena champagne, which went very well with the steak I ordered and made me feel warm and fuzzy at the end of the night. This brings me to my main course, the American Wagyu Rib Cap. I knew how expensive these steaks can be, even if it's an American hybrid, I went with an average temperature to maintain tenderness. And boy was a good decision. The steak was not a steak, it was a pane of heaven that burst with juices and melted in my mouth when I looked as slowly as I could enjoy every piece of it. It was difficult not to simply dedicate the steak and leave all the terms of ownership in the door. At the end of the meal, they brought out what the fantastic version of a s 'more I've ever been the chance to try with Happy Birthday crooked in chocolate drizzle to captivate an amazing night. It was a light flick of Marshmallow with Fudge and Graham crackers on the side. It is not a normal menu item, but I think if you come to your birthday, you will see what it is all. And finally, but certainly not least, the staff was very personal and always had our glasses full of whether it was champagne or water, we never wanted for something. I highly recommend asking Patrick and Jerome to be your hosts, as they really made the night so much better. Usually I find staff in high-end restaurants friendly, but very formal, but here the staff were very relaxed, very funny to speak, and if you ever have a chance to come here during a 49th matchday, I can almost guarantee that you want it again."

"Do NOT come to this place so I can come whenever I want without a crazy amount of people. We were nearby, so we came for lunch to try, and don’t even PLAY WITH ME!We ordered the Vegetable Fried Rice, Cantonese Shrimp Dumplings, Fresh Cucumber Salad, BBQ Pork Buns, Pork Potstickers, Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumplings, and the Vegetarian Mapo Tofu Noodles. For Chow Mein and the Mapo Tofu Noodles, they offered hand made noodles for $1 up-charge, so we got that! Don’t judge us, we’re sampling everything, duh.Everything came out at a great speed, and everything was incredible! We were dissociating from how good everything was. The dumpling options have so much flavor, are juicy, and the dough and filling ratio is perfect. The Pork Potstickers are so juicy, they honestly could label them as soup dumplings. The entrees with the handmade noodles were amazing as well, it definitely had a perfect texture, and the Chow Mein had incredible flavor, no need for additions. The Mapo Tofu Noodle was incredibly flavorful aswell, and the spice was so interesting. Not too spicy where you can’t taste anything, but still a satisfying kick. The Cucumber Salad was phenomenal aswell, everything was so balanced, it was perfect.Overall, everything was incredible, the flavors were perfectly balanced, not oily at all, and perfectly seasoned. The service was great too, the front house woman was very sweet. This spot is small but mighty, they’re knowledgeable in dumpling and noodle making, even making it next door where you can see. This place is super underrated, 10/10 coming back!"

"My bf and I came here on a Saturday night around 6pm. Wait was about 5 10min after putting our name on the waitlist inside the restaurant.We were looking at the menu and there are a few options. you can build your own ramen with their diff meat and soup base, and then add your preferred toppings. Or you can order 3 4 of their premade options. One of them is a meat lover dish that 's only meat lolAnyways, we ordered the chicken karaage, their Kiwami shoyu ramen, and the build your own tonkotsu ramen. I ordered the tonkotsu Ramen for myself because I really wanted to try their duck chasu. My boyfriend wanted to order the cheesecake and because he heard it was really good but they were sold out! We asked our server and he said that sell out the day that they make it Wednesday and Friday, so probably need to pre order.The chicken karaage came in big pieces and lightly fried. They don 't give a little lemon slice but don 't need to!! I thoroughly enjoyed the sauce they had for it. It was your typical Japanese Mayo but had a slightly savory kick to itI liked the tonkotsu but wish I had been able to customize my noodles. I really liked their thinly sliced pork belly. It made it more tender and easier to eat. I asked for an egg and they give you a whole egg! The duck chasu is definitely worth it. They only give you 4 slices but they 're pretty fat and had a slight torched smokey flavor.I also tried my boyfriends shoyu ramen. I enjoyed this was more LOL it was not as fatty and lighter in flavor. I drank a good amount of the broth in this one. It comes with 3 4 pork wontons. Also liked the sliced pork butt. This one comes with thicker egg noodles, which i prefer.We also got the hot garlic paste that we added into the tonkotsu.Overall, enjoyable experience! Parking was plentiful and the servers were attentive and nice. Price was about $55 including tax and tip!"
