What a beautiful restaurant with great vibes. I was passing by I decided to eat here since it was not overly crowded like the other restaurants by my condo. I ordered beef potstickers and padthai and both dishes were amazing. I didn't get the gorgeous waitresses name but the staff were all amazing. I completely dig the cool decor. I will definitely be back to experience the nightlife with friends in the near future.

Personally I wouldn't come here again. The food was alright but nothing spectacular for the price. They were also constantly very busy and seemed short staffed so it took them a while to serve us and took a while to even get water. We actually had to ask for water since they never served us it. The mood is cool considering it's the gaslamp area but there's definitely other places I would rather go to for the price.

The food was not what we expected. It seemed like a fusion of sorts. The ambiance was nice. The service by Roberto was excellent however it seems that the young men in training should know what a proper spoon size is for eating. We were brought 2 serving spoons.

This place was a little strange. They claim on the website to be the best Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego, it wasn't that great. We started with cocktails and mocktsils. I must say that the mocktail was excellent. We ordered the Thai green papaya salad, Maine lobster garlic noodles, and the miso black cod. Of the three, the black cod was the most successful dish. The lobster was seasoned but the noodles were extremely bland and overcooked to the point of being gummy. The salad was fine but very basic. The service was ... read more

We'll jump right into it with the food: We had some apps from the happy hour menu and found them to be the best part of our meal. The potstickers were outstanding - the meat was so flavorful and the sauce was perfect. The rock shrimp was fried and seasoned well. The entrees were just okay. We got the miso cod - the fish itself wasn't very tender, and the sauce was too thick and leaned a little too sweet. That said, it wasn't bad by any means. Just nothing spectacular. We also got the albacore roll - the rice wasn't gummy ... read more
