Chef-Owner Kenny Leung and Co-Owner Thomas Tang of August Gatherings steer this kitchen's modern evolution of traditional recipes. The culinary lineup includes lunch, à la carte, and curated tasting menus, showcasing plates like Shikoku bamboo shrimp dumplings and gold leaf wrapped fried abalone. For large parties, the dining room hosts round tables seating up to 14 guests, providing a setup where service is attentive and the culinary innovations focus on flavor rather than pretension.
