- Meaghan HFebruary 13, 2020One of the best restaurants in the city, but almost impossible to get a reservation.

Adam FriedbergApril 21, 2014Without a reservation, you'll need to start lining up at 30 min before the doors open.
Jia JiaOctober 2, 2012Even late reservation are fine -- the dim sum style means there is food on your table just seconds after you sit down, and you won't be hungry for long.
Heather SApril 7, 2013Pork belly w citrus. Liver mousse w almond biscuits. Chicory ice cream sandwich. Etc... LOVE!
Stephanie LAugust 23, 2014Worth the wait to try and get reservations. Garlic bread burrata: don't share!
Katherine ChanApril 20, 2013Want a prime-time reservation? Wake up at around 4 AM 60 days before your date of choice. It's worth it!- Adam FFebruary 10, 2013It's worth the wait... Stand in the "sweet spot" to get seated faster and bond with the awesome chefs.
SerenaSeptember 15, 2014got in line at 4:30 on a Sunday for a party of three and had my choice of either the 5:30 or 7:30 seating.
Say yes to everything they offer. If you want to try walk-in, be there before 4:30 PM.
Jon PascarellaSeptember 9, 2015Don't say no to anything! It is all incredible. Figure $75 per person with a couple drinks
Ryan LandryMarch 13, 2014Order the Paul Mathew Russian River Valley Pinot to go with your dinner. Fairly priced and quite tasty.
Ben ChenAugust 3, 2015Love the dim sum serving style! Most of the food is French/American though, not Asian.
Get: Duck liver mousse. Farro. Mushroom toast. Ice cream sandwich.
Jessica TaylorJune 17, 2016The atmosphere was more causal than expected. Food was good and just enough.
Laurence BOctober 2, 2015The toast is actually quite good, but the important thing is to save room for dessert.
- If they sent this food to the Middle East, there would be no more war in the Middle East.
Jen KimOctober 24, 2012You can order the signature dishes you're looking forward to without waiting for the cart to come around
Eat here as soon as you can. Build up an appetite and then eat everything.
