    Unforgettable duck wings with duck fat aioli dipping sauce! Also highly recommend the cilantro chicken tapioca balls (bigger than expected! Lol) and burger!!

    The pupu platter is amazing--very nice selection of menu appetizers. And the portion is huge, even as an entrée. The brussel sprouts are really good, too.

    Prepare for a little wait on weekends, but worth it for pupu platter. No gluten, savory, sweet, cooked and fresh side by side, enough for 2

    Fantastic Asian fusion flavors. Try the short rib steam buns! They have a hint of coconut.

    Happy hour is awesome. Drinks and entrees from $1-$5. I plan to stuff myself silly and drink myself under the table.

    This photo does not do the awesome happy hour burger justice. $5.00 for an excellent burger.

    Tasty bites: brussel sprouts and sweet potato spring rolls. The whiskey sour was a little weak, but the Boxcar was a little better. Drinking beer next time.

    Swanky, good decor, expensive drinks, loud (too loud for conversation) Asian fusion music. Food is all amazing--try the Pupu Platter and Pineapple drink (for 2)!

    Why does every vodka cocktail contain a flavored vodka? Really? Step up and hire real craft bartenders.
