The food looks appealing, but in terms of savory or memorable dishes, there was nothing I came across that was all that delicious. The dumpling was the best thing about the dipping sauce, and the general Tso chicken was good, but I can say I had better from your hole-in-wall regular Asian restaurant.They close really early for a Saturday night. They close at 9 pm.But this is date night trying to impress someone but not necessarily getting full off of. I say get drinks and appetizers and save your money on the entrees because they're about the same size as the appetizers and it doesn't even come with a side.

Some recipes have been changed not for the best... Dining outside is great compared to the noise inside. For the price, may we recommend a little bit more of table setup like a paper place mat? Also, a wiser way to place / space customers would be highly appreciated especially when a crazy table of students is sitting next to us, while we are in the middle of a calm and lovely time.

I had a great time while eating at this restaurant. I love Asian food. I love Asian culture. I love Asian everything. All in all, the thing that made the experience was the server Blake. He was very kind and helpful and funny. Employee of the month material.

Food tastes good, and there's wide range if food. Vibe is amazing, price a little bit high

Have had some incredible food since moving down here, one of my hobbies since leaving the industry.However, this place was probably the worst restaurant I've been too. The drunken noodles smell like dog kibble, the sesame ahi tuna was the worst tuna dish I've ever eaten. It's so dry and the avocado sauce does nothing to help. It completely drowns the tuna out and the fruit that's added doesn't do enough to save it .For a tapas place it's important to have a server available frequently enough to order and at one point we didn't see them for 15 mins and it was not busy.The short rib beef wontons were absolutely incredible, and the fried chicken bun was solid "although the chicken was a bit bland, had good texture".For the prices I can't recommend this place unfortunately. But if you do go, double up on those wontons.

All the foods we had were amazing! We regret not ordering the Spicy Tuna, because I saw at least 5-6 plates of Spicy Tuna being served and we were too full to order more food. The service was great, they were very quick and nice!
Upgraded stars to three since the food was good. Someone called and admitted a mistake saying they charged $31 for tip. Although they refunded the difference, explanation doesn't make any sense. It's not like the numbers are close to each other or it could have been misinterpreted. I've only upgraded the stars because they refunded the difference but the explanation somehow is subpar and doesn't add up to how this was a simple mistake. My advice is to keep a copy of your receipt and check your bill in the coming days

Food has never been disappointing. Not always justifiable $ and portion wise, but tasty.Service seems to be improving, but in the past there has been some odd rudeness in being seated even when having a reservation.Overall a positive dining experience.

Went there for my birthday party and had a great time. Very shareable, great for large groups. Staff and waiter were super friendly and gave me a cake for free.

This is easily one of the top 2 places to dine and have a good time in Durham. Here's a secret, THEY ARE NOT NUMBER 2. This is a great place to come and chill. Whether at the bar or seated at a table, you are sure to have a full tummy and tasty drinks. My go to's are the crispy Brussels and the Ribs. These are small plates and they never miss. Tonight I introduced the Mongolian beef and it's officially my new go to. Please punctuate your culinary experience with the Bao doughnuts with chai cream and thank me later. If you haven't been , GET HERE. If you haven't been in a while, GET HERE. I promise to be back HERE!
