Greg Schaentzler: Excellent Pad Thai and Chicken Cashew, but not as delicious as its counterpart in Hells Kitchen. This location is a lot more informal than HK, no frills but always solid.
Jarel Hill: Like the cashew chicken
Gregory Lee: The food is excellent here. Best fusion restaurant I've ever been to. Try the Green Tea Panna Cotta and the sticky rice topped with passion fruit ice cream (the latter was special) for dessert.

Sleepy Browne: The ambience is simply amazing the crowd one of the sexiest in the city.The chicken satay was great and cashew chicken and well made drinks
Lindsey Kim: Great place for taking out of town visitors. Get a cocktail, wagyu beef, miso glazed cod, shrimp lettuce cups, and chocolate molten cake
Thrillist: We wouldn't normally start with dessert, but this can't wait. It's strawberry/orange blossom creme topped with honey-milk powder and cotton candy. It's beautiful...and it's topped with cotton candy. Read more.
