They are recommended on Michelin guide along Nopa and Burma Superstar, but I’m not sure if I can say that they are producing same kind of quality food.
Food/Beverage: 3.5 stars
Although they were all fairly good, nothing blew our mind. Thai noodles, Mee Goreng, Kalbi were all familiar, but made me think of 3 different restaurants where I could have them better and cheaper.
Plate presentation needs work. They really look like somebody just threw things on plates.
Bloody Mary they have there, with green onion and garlic and other spices in, was very good. I wasn’t too excited about the beverage list presentation and the gimmicky drink list they had.
Service: 3 stars
Food came out quickly enough, but servers can be rude or just not proper and polite. Without a hello, they go right into “Do you know what you want to drink?” as soon as you sit down.
Atmosphere: 3.5 stars
The place is set up to look like old Shanghai, I guess. I think it’s working for what it is. I’m not sure about the server uniform. That looks a bit cheesy. Great that they have an open kitchen, but if the cooks in the kitchen have to look at you up and down and keep staring your at butt as you are trying to go to the restroom, not a great restaurant experience.
I probably won’t be back. If you experience them once, that might be enough.
