Great
Michelin
star
restaurant
in
the
Bronx!
I
dined
here
three
times
so
far
in
order
to
offer
a
fair
assessment.
PROS:
*Staff
is
great!
Super
friendly,
engaging,
and
fast-but
you
don't
feel
rushed.
*Beautiful
interior
design
and
roomy.
You're
not
sitting
in
the
lap
of
the
next
table
of
guests.
The
place
is
huge
with
three
levels
and
enough
restrooms
that
you
don't
have
to
wait
and
wiggle
:)
*The
drinks
are
on
point
no
matter
what
you
order!
Going
during
happy
hour
is
a
must!
*The
food
was
a
hit
twice
and
a
total
miss
once.
I
ordered
the
same
items
in
order
to
make
a
fair
comparison:
fried
shrimp
dumplings,
avocado
rice,
Thai
rice,
roasted
salmon,
shrimp
egg
rolls,
bam
bam
shrimp,
veggie
pad
Thai,
rice
&
black
beans,
sweet
plantains.
The
first
visit
was
on
a
Saturday
evening
and
the
food
was
beyond
delicious!
I
loved
that
every
item
has
it's
own
distinct
flavor/seasoning.
The
second
visit
was
on
a
Thursday
evening
and
it
was
the
worst!
Everything,
and
I
mean
everything,
tasted
like
black
pepper.
So
much
so,
you
could
actually
see
the
pepper
on
the
food.
Someone
had
to
have
made
a
mistake
in
the
kitchen.
I
was
unable
to
finish
the
food.
The
third
visit
was
on
a
Tuesday
evening
and
all
the
stars
were
aligned!
The
food
was
seasoned
to
perfection.
The
Thai
rice
is
my
favorite
dish,
and
I'm
not
a
big
rice
eater.
CONS:
IT'S
TOO
LOUD!
Did
you
hear
what
I
said?
IT'S
TOO
LOUD!
Unfortunately,
having
a
conversation
is
virtually
impossible.
The
music
is
at
deafening
levels
and
the
later
it
gets
the
louder
it
gets.
A
drummer
(not
a
live
band)
played
to
accompany
the
already
loud
music.
It
was
unnecessary
and
only
made
having
conversations
out
of
the
question.
My
party
of
four
had
to
leave
earlier
than
we
would
have
like
because
of
this.
FINAL
THOUGHTS:
Beautiful
restaurant
with
good
food,
drinks,
staff,
and
service.
Go
when
they
open,
the
music
isn't
so
loud
at
that
point.
I'll
definitely
return
in
the
future.
