Reviews
- fussy_batHonestly the food here was super legit and really hit the spot. The sea cucumber and pufferfish were both incredibly fresh, and every single dish was plated so beautifully it looked almost too pretty to eat. And the flavors were on point too — super delicate and refined. Eating here honestly felt like I was having art on a plate. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the city.
