Food was great. Parking is a nightmare! We went there because google listed that this “asian restaurant” is open late until 12-1am. We drive 45min there for family dinner of 8people. Theres no information online saying that the restaurant will close at 10 and turn it into a club. We was shock! After 45min of driving, we have 45min to dine in To super rush on eating and get kick out before 10pm. Some food dish is not even done cooking before we have to get out of there. Our bill is near $250 for a super rush dine in. It was an unhappy experience for our first time visiting the area. A plus for the food but the hours and bar/club info need to be listed clearly and correctly for first time visitor like me who based on google info.

We stopped by because my friends liked the outdoor seating area and wanted a drink. They have good beer on tap and a nice outdoor space. That’s where the good things. Food is pricy with just okay portions. The kimchi bulgogi fries are $19 with little meat and kimchi but a lot of mayo. The food is not anything special. The service is not consistent and confusing. Your best bet is to order drinks and food at the bar and then wait there until it comes. The outdoor patio is great when there’s nice weather but I would not order food again.

You definitely want to come here! Geo was our bartender and he made EXCELLENT margaritas and green tea shooters! The food was exceptional. They have a fun vibe, with an outdoor patio/ bar. Service was fast and friendly. Geo took the time to come to our table and talk with us. Loved the bulgolgi fries (really delicious and unique) and drinks were strong (that’s a plus!) and the buns were delicious! Definitely a new favorite spot!

This place was so amazing and so under the radar. The restaurant had a beach bar theme in the back with a quieter, yet still hip atmosphere in the front. The server and the hostess were both so attentive and helpful. The bao buns were incredible and small bites were great too. I highly recommend the bottomless brunch on the weekends for $35 all you can eat + 25 cent mimosas! The happy hour menu also has some interesting selections for reasonable prices too.

Definitely recommend happy hour! It gets pretty busy at dinner time so we went a little early and still had a great experience. The happy hour menu has a tasty selection and the service was really fast!

Decided to finally try out this place today since I wasn’t too far from the establishment and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the drink I got. I ordered the kama Sutra drink and it was pretty good. I came for the bao buns, I got the shrimp tempura, braised pork belly and short rib bao buns…they were delicious. I ordered bulgolgi fries and took them to go they were good but got too much of a kick to it for me so next time i’d do without the kimchi and sauce. I ordered the chicken lo mein for my son and it DID NOT MISS! The establishment was pretty clean and the staff were courteous…the chair my son was on was broken (we did not notice) & one of the staff members and a security came up to us inspecting the quality of the chair and asked to switch out the chair. My experience was good.

Not like any bao that I’ve ever had. I wanted the spongy ones that you fold in half like a taco. Had to heat everything up and egg rolls were way overdone. Meat was like a spongy meat ball with an odd flavor and the egg roll sauce was the bright pink stuff you get from low end Asian fast food restaurants. We had it delivered so I can’t comment on atmosphere. Sorry, I really wanted to like the food.

Buns are delicious. I tried the short rib, shrimp and fried chicken ( a little spicy) and all were great. Chicken fried rice is also a no-brainer to order. Service was on-point and atmosphere was lively. If you’re just going there for the food, I would say to get there before eight pm. Overall great place for food, drinks and music. Not a family restaurant.

Food was good, sushi hand roll was the best thing I ordered. I sat outside and service was terrible. Not a traditional server experience with 1 server assigned to a customer. Had to flag down someone every time I needed something like order a drink, or to get the check. Terrible bar stools outside and wobbly table pretty much ruined it. The food can’t overcome the other issues and don’t see the need to go back.

Chose this place based on the large patio and sitting outside was very nice. There is a longer wait for the “back patio” which is more of a scene. The “front patio” is narrower and quieter. The servers genuinely seemed to be doing the best they could with a severely disorganized and understaffed kitchen and bar. They even admitted that the managers were helping to cook. Unfortunately it didn’t really help as food came out more than an hour after ordering. It was clear that this was happening at other tables as well. The restaurant took the late items off the bill to apologise. Overall the food was decent, the snacks and bao are better than the entres. Would be willing to try it again because the patio is nice but do not go here if you are in a rush! Happy hour specials are solid for Clarendon including $4 for any draft beer including some heavy hitters.
