Before you head over

Practical tips for timing your visit and making the most of the dining experience

  • Choose the Banquet for a Seamless Spread

    Opt for the Feed Me multi-course banquet if you want a complete cross-section of signature plates—such as turmeric and corn cakes, paper rolls, and desserts like sesame dumplings—without navigating a la carte choices.

  • Book in Advance and Allow Ample Time

    The dining room remains bustling well into late seatings, with cozy, closely set tables. Reserve ahead and plan on an unhurried, multi-course meal lasting upwards of two hours.

  • Expect an Intimate, High-Energy Space

    Portion sizes lean toward refined banquet dining in an intimate, lively room. Ordering multi-course tastings guarantees everyone leaves satisfied while navigating the bustling dining room.
