  This is one of my favorite restaurants, anywhere, and I have been everywhere.  
  
  Pro tip, let the waiter choose your meal.

  A little overrated and overpriced.
  Went here for dinner with high expectations given all the good reviews and recommendations.
  
  The food: we tried the lobster crepes (best thing we ordered) it was very different in a good way but we definitely didn't know you end up wrapping them in lettuce and dipping them street food style which I don't mind in the least, just a little messy for fine dining and not necessarily worth $30
  Next we tried the Malaysian noodles which were also pretty good...but not something you couldn't get elsewhere
  We then had the wok tossed calamari, the least favorite thing we ordered which our server highly recommended. Compared to the other two dishes that had a lot of flavor, this one just fell flat. It's missing something to lighten it up and it honestly made me feel sick. Fried and breaded and paired with a creamy sauce and not the most tender either. We didn't even eat the rest.
  
  On the plus side our server was very nice and the staff seemed very attentive.
  All in all I would give it 3.5 stars if that were an option, just disappointed that nothing really stood out as a dish I could only get at Cholon yet left with a bill over $100 given we also had a beer and a cocktail.

  I am going to start off by saying that I am Asian. In my opinion, this place serves Overpriced Quasi-Asian cuisine.
  Soup dumplings (4) = $14
  Bowl of Brussels sprouts = $15
  Soup dumplings good but better be for $3.50 per bite.  I personally think they are better at Star kitchen dim sum for $5.
  Brussel sprouts too much sauce overwhelmed the vegetable.
  Best dish was the stir fried wide noodles at $22 and then again, I can get better for under $12 at a Thai restaurant.
  We love food and trying all sorts of cuisines, unique or traditional.  This restaurant was underwhelming for me.

  This place a great for special occasions.  I first came a little over a year ago on a lunch date because he knew how much food made me happy.
  
  When the french onion soup dumplings came out, I was blown away by them.  You put the whole dumpling in your mouth and let the flavors engulf your tongue and taste buds!  It is MUST if you go there!
  
  They change their menu frequently and have great seasonal vegetables and pairings.  The service is amazing (except the host once was rude but tried to recover.)
  
  The pork belly buns were good but not amazing to me.  
  Brussels Sprouts with Ground Pork and Kaffir Lime are divine!  I am obsessed with brussel sprouts they they do not disappoint!
  Stir-Fried Malaysian Noodles was very good!
  Spicy King Crab (Korean Rice Cakes, Bone Marrow, Crispy Shallots) was interesting.  The texture of the rice cakes was chewier than I would have liked.  
  
  It is great place to share bites with people since you will want to try all the food.  They make eating here an experience but just dining.

  Nice place for a upscale-ish dinner with family or friends in the LoDo area. I've gotta say that the wait staff is pushy to the point where it is a little annoying but the food they serve is pretty good overall and is fairly pricy.
  
  Here's what we got:
  1. Complimentary Papadum with a tangy dipping sauce (this brought back such good memories)
  2. Kaya Toast (nice and fluffy chunks of bread with very crisp sides, coconut jam is nicely balanced)
  3. Wagyu Skewers (with or without the sauce, this was delectable)
  4. Lamb Shank (4 4oz lollipops that were juicy, tender and quite filling)
  5. Pork Belly with Clams and Ramp Kimchi (very confusing dish, but the broth was tasty)
  
  I'd come back here for the food, but the prices were a little high and the service needs work.
