"The female server was not very on point, but a fabulous male bartender took over for her and became our waiter and that changed everything. He was so on point! He checked on us, he made great drinks HH special, I think it was a Lychee martini?, it had the Lychee Gel cube in it and it was so good. Ordered between me and my friend. lol. Food was authentic. So authentic sometimes, it was a little unusual for my taste, but overall enjoyable and fun to try new things. You have to be into that sort of cuisine to want to come back, but the drinks were so good, we are likely to come again. Wish I could remember the bartenders name, he made it so warm and fun. If we had been dealing much more with the space cadet waitress, she kept not coming back, seemed dazed, like she was on something....this review would have been much different. The bar had a Xmas party kind of thing happening with a group , but there were open seats in the next room by the fake fireplace, the tv and the Christmas tree. We were overlooking the city with a beautiful view from the floor. It was lovely"

Poorly run. Make staff insulting female waiters. Arguments over lights in front of guests. Food was mediocre similar to panda express

Wonderful and authentic Cantonese food, spacious and quiet atmosphere. Be aware that the valet is not there until pm, but you can enter the building to park View menu

The best authentic Chinese restaurant in downtown LA. My only negative comment for this particular trip would be, extremely loud live band, and bruised pork was very cold inside... However, overall positive experience as usual

Had reservation no issues there. Placed order never received our appetizers was asked if we wanted them at the end of our meal. Food was nothing to rave about. About par with Panda was never asked if we wanted more water or Ice tea. Wasn't offered apology for the no appetizers or something in return. Was never asked if we wanted any desert. This was our first time there horrible impression, sorry but wont be going back

The food and the location is great. However, the prices are too expensive for serving small plates. I am confused whether they are a or restaurant because the dishes are pretty expensive considering the amount of food per dish. The Xiao Long Bao is pretty dry too, knowing that it should be a soup dumpling. The servers were famtastic, always kept on checking our table. We got seated by the windows and it looks really great at night View menu

Everything was good except the seating and air quality! I was sat by the kitchen. Lots of other tables available but for some reason they sat me by the kitchen. Maybe because I was alone and the tables by the kitchen are smaller. The kitchen fumes were bad enough that it bothered me. The kitchen needs better ventilation. Im surprised that the staff is not aware of this.Service was OK. Most of the staff seemed friendly and upbeat but my main waiter seemed quite dour.Food was great.It was a Black Friday off day so the price was exceptional

Insanely poor service. My food was delivered to the wrong table. We asked multiple servers to find out what happened to my order, and we were completely ignored. It wasn’t until our initial server came back he disappeared for minutes that we were told what had happened. One server told us “the food will be served whenever it’s ready to be served,” and just walked away. Seriously?!?!?In the end, the assistant manager came out and apologized. My food showed up minutes after I ordered it. It was good, but at that point, the food of the other person at the table was cold... My food was delicious, and I know it was a mistake. But the brush off of the servers was ridiculous. We did not have to pay...

"Our first visit to the restaurant last night came highly recommended, thanks to a friend's glowing review of their vegan menu. We were pretty excited and ordered two vegan meatball subs. The trouble began when we waited for nearly 25 minutes after placing our order. Our server, a guy named Ryan (I think), came over and told us they were all out of vegan meatballs. Naturally, we asked why it took so long for them to figure this out, which seemed to fluster poor Ryan a bit. However, he was polite throughout the conversation. We decided to switch our order to one regular meatball sub and a vegan eggplant sub, thinking all was well. But, surprise, surprise, Ryan returned a few minutes later to tell us they were also out of eggplant. At this point, we had been waiting for almost 40 minutes with no food in sight, so we asked for the check to pay for the soda my husband had been nursing. Here's why the whole experience left a sour taste in our mouths: 1. Why in the world didn't the waitstaff know about these shortages in advance? It seems like basic communication within the restaurant was seriously lacking. Customers shouldn't be left hanging, wondering if they'll actually get what they ordered. 2. It's kind of baffling that Ryan was left to break the bad news not just once, but twice. You'd think the manager, who we saw chatting with other diners just a few feet away, would have taken the initiative to come over and speak to us directly. 3. I was made to feel like I should be really grateful they decided not to charge us for the Diet Coke my husband drank. Overall it was a terrible experience and no effort was made to rectify what happened. I obviously cannot comment on the food since we never recieved any. As for customer service...HORRIBLE!"
