    Ambiance is just amazing. So private and intimate. Can't find a nicer place to treat a loved one. Service is amazing too. Food: I loved the eight bites appetizer. Other dishes are ok but didn't blow me away.

    From the moment you step into the elevator, to walking out to the lobby area, the whole dining experience was so well thought out and curated for the perfect private dinner moment. The restaurant had a minimalist + contemporary design, soothing music, dim lighting. The seating is designed in a way so you have an intimate experience with your dining companions. There's also a very noticeable incense smell in the restaurant, which was interesting. Our waiters were very professional and attentive: regularly refilling our drinks, answering any questions we had and explaining each course. They were super nice as well and we had the most lovely experience We had the culinary explorations, medium tasting menu: - Silk Road: tea was homey and brewed perfectly -- subtle but with a noticeable taste of lavender and mint. The fruit was extremely sweet too: loved the lychee and cherries, which offered a refreshing taste to the start of your meal - Jiu gong ge: I think this is their most iconic course, 9 dishes tasting all flavors, ranging from sour to fragrant to smoky. So beautifully plated and delicious -- I loved the different textures and flavor profiles used to highlight the ingredients from all of china - Soak in the spring: this was very refreshing and subtle, which was very much needed after the jiu gong ge. - Egg tofu: creamy and cheesy, it tasted foamy in the middle. Tofu was very soft - Black cod: fish was super soft and broke apart in even bits when you cut through it. the broth was my favorite: light and savory. There was a layer of greens underneath that elevated the fish broth flavor - Soy braised smoked chicken: this was definitely my second favorite course. you could smell the chicken immediately when it was brought in: smoky and extremely tender. The sauce was delicious and it paired well with the rice. Super fun extra detail: they let you pick the knife you use for this course beforehand! - Jasmine tea pudding: cold dessert to end your meal. Distinct strawberry flavor and very nice ice cream We were completely stuffed by dessert. At the end of the meal, they send you home with a few sweet treats and the menu that you received during the beginning of the dinner. incredible experience and would love to come back again!
