    The food is amazing. Good customer service beautiful place. We got the papaya salad spicy so good. The pad thai with tofu and eggs is the best thank you guys.

    I had forgotten how spectacular the food is at this restaurant! We started out with the flavorful oxtail dumplings. The crabcake was also a delight. The real standouts for me, however, were the grilled corn and the duck breast. The grilled corn seemed like it could have been a traditional corn elote but had an unexpected twist of a kaffir lime leaf flavor that left the palate wanting. The cherry and the hazel nut in combination with a perfectly cooked crispy skin duck was pure heaven. I would come back just for this dish again! The wait staff was friendly and prompt despite having a large birthday party as a distraction. Would come back here in a heartbeat!

    Beautiful pairing of flavors in all dishes. Great service. We sat outside in the patio. Inside was too loud. I'll be back!

    Wow! This is a gem in Santa Monica. The food was incredible, my friend, and I had the bone marrow, the oxtail dumplings, and we each had the hanger steak because it was so delicious. I appreciate how attentive the service was, and everybody was super friendly. The interior was gorgeous. Cozy, comforting, and also very modern. I loved the real candles, the fake tea, on each table. Little touches everywhere really stood out. I wish the bone marrow came with more bread, but they were able to bring more out without any problems. The oxtail dumplings were incredibly delicious and delicate. That steak was possibly the best steak that I've ever had prepared and I've been to quite a few steakhouses. I can't wait to return and try more things off the menu.
