Praise the set decorator at this place for sure. The decor is tight. The food is on par with Chinese takeout and sushi bars at 3x the price

Re-visited recently. Decor still spectacular. Food & service were subpar. Sea bass satay were a standout. Music so loud on a Thursday at 8:30pm, impossible to have a conversation.

New downtown hot spot located in Meatpacking. Wear your Varvatos jacket, don't leave the Prada bag at home.

Good music and appetizers (spicy tuna tartare, chicken lollipop, soup) but mains were kind of bland except for the shrimp dish.

Ok! As all the nightclubs I have been in NYC. Full of american teens who move and drink like Mick Jagger!
Eli JasJuly 3, 2015
I suggest trying the Mongolian beef or the chicken pad thai- both delicious!
Hal KirklandOctober 16, 2013
DON'T under any circumstances mistake this for the service knocker.It drives the staff, as nice as they are, insane!The fact that it's in the corridor and not in the actual restaurant accentuates this
Sanjeev SreetharanJanuary 5, 2014
Beware the desserts: the waitress lied to my face, i specifically asked if there was molten chocolate in my warm chocolate cake, but that was a complete fabrication. I feel morally violated.

For the time you want to sit stadium style...

NY's busiest, most exclusive club. This is where Heidi Klum's famous Halloween takes place every year.
Ingvild M. PlosivNovember 23, 2014
We, two friends and I, had a table booked for 22.15, and got it at 23.05... They tried to make up for it by giving us a drink and a dessert, but the mojo was gone. Food was ok. I'm not going back.
