Description

While the attentive service and lively atmosphere make the space an easy gathering spot, the culinary execution draws divided opinions. Diners point to the shrimp toast and green beans as the clear highlights of the menu. Other offerings, however, can be hit-or-miss; plates like the cumin lamb, crab fried rice, and pan-fried dumplings have left some visitors wishing for more consistent execution.
