La WangApril 21, 2013They have a whole vegetarian tasting menu that's excellent and contrary to what the menu says, you can order it individually, no need to tyrannize the entire table!!!
Melania SpagnoliDecember 17, 2014Awesome restaurant. The athmosfere is great and very outentic, the food i great! Try the salmon, it's delicious
Rebecca YiJuly 11, 2016I think people come here for the vibe - food was seriously just okay. Would skip if you're looking for something tasty & trendy.
Morten FruensgaardMay 13, 2013Vert nice decorations inside and the staff is good. Food and drinks are god but prices a bit high in terms of value for money. Still recommend it.
Jeremy BassinderMarch 9, 2015The tempura sea bass buns are like the most amazing fish butty you've ever had. Order them and be happy.

Natalia QuinteroJuly 10, 2012This Jean George thai spin off has an amazing interior, fantastic cocktails (read: ginger mojito), and an unforgettable tasting menu.
Visit to this place is like dining at an upscale restaurant in Thailand.. Great, Interesting, Delicious fusion of Asian food.
Michele CenzerOctober 30, 2011Chef calls this "Asian street food," and it sort of is, from all of Asia at once, but it's also refined and the atmosphere is very upscale. Really great lunch today! The chili cod is great!
ScottKerFebruary 17, 2012Save room for the deserts! Coconut sorbet (not really a sorbet) is awesome, fruit dish in coconut milk is decadent. I love this place.
Gretchen SchrammJuly 19, 2014Shrimp dumplings, chicken satay and red snapper were delicious!! Passion fruit sangria was delicious!!
Dalton DMarch 24, 2013After 12 years in Asia, we're often disappointed - not here! Black pepper shrimp, chili cod and pork belly (if you appreciate the crispy, fatty bit of heaven). Ginger rice was bland though
KelseyNovember 16, 2014Everything is good here, love the food as well as the decor. The salmon tartare was great

Love the chicken pakoras and the Thai Iced Jewels! You cant go wrong with any of the cocktails- 148 Check us out!September 10, 2013If you are used of Thai / Asian food it is very sweetened and lightened regarding taste. We are far from the genuine asian flavors. Convenient in the area but not a must.
Andrew PerezJune 8, 2016What they don't tell you is that it's kind of like tapas style. So be willing to share!
Swasti KafleDecember 17, 2011Trendy street food done well in an amazing environment. Awesome drinls as well...try the kumquat mojito.
Rachel GruberJanuary 31, 2013The bass was spicy and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend if you like a dish with a kick.
