This is my favorite restaurant! The owner/executive chef, Chef Hao is a genius. We get the "Feed…read moreMe" option where 4-5 dishes are brought out that are chosen and prepared personally by Chef Hao. His dishes are to die for. Combinations you would never think would work together just fuse and melt in your mouth. He pairs things like raw salmon and strawberries with a sauce that mind blowing. All this combined in your mouth is like heaven on Earth! His Mama's Dumpling soup is so good especially on a cold or rainy night. I have tried almost his whole menu and can't complain about a thing. My only complaint is I wish they were open for lunch. If I worked there, my whole check would go to my bill and I'd still probably owe him money! The staff is really good. They are great for offering recommendations from food to cocktails to bourbons (that he collects). And if they aren't sure, they will ask Chef Hao for his advise. They fully explain everything that comes out and is put on the table, even the rice they explain is to sop up any extra sauce. Every day he is open, he is out picking the freshest fish, veggies, and fruits so dishes taste fresh and can be changed up if one thing isn't available but something else is. The place itself is small but very cozy. I would definitely recommend reservations through Open Table. We went one night during all the very cold weather. I was worried I'd be cold since it's in a remodeled NOLA shotgun house (and those building at known for being drafty), but Chef had the place insulated very well. My husband and I go there for our wedding anniversary, birthdays, or just to go when the craving hits. It's a great place to bring a date.

It's a small space, so I highly recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait. To start, we ordered the Paloma and lychee cocktails--both refreshing and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Monkey Snack and Stoplight rolls. If you're into bold, complex flavor profiles, the Monkey Snack is a must. Sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor--it hits every note. The Stoplight roll brings just the right amount of heat thanks to the jalapeños, and the fish is incredibly fresh. But the real star for me? The curried dumpling broth. I seriously dream about it when I'm not in NOLA. It's so rich and flavorful that I almost finish the broth before touching the dumplings. Absolute comfort in a bowl. The tuna rangoons weren't my favorite, but still a solid dish. Overall, a staple spot for me anytime I'm in town. Consistently delicious with creative dishes that leave a lasting impression.

I ordered the Bang Bang Salad because it sounded amazing on the menu. It came with a variety of fresh raw fish and was described as having a wasabi cream sauce. As a sushi lover, I was excited and expecting at least a little heat from the wasabi, but unfortunately it wasn't spicy at all. There was also no wasabi, soy sauce, or other condiments included, which was disappointing. I ordered it without rice, and I didn't realize that meant the bowl would be heavily filled with cucumbers. Since I personally don't like cucumbers, that was a letdown. I wish there had been an option to remove them or substitute something else. Had I known, I probably would have kept the rice and simply not eaten it. The fish itself was fresh, which I definitely appreciated, but the portions felt a little skimpy for the price. That said, part of the cost may have been influenced by ordering through Uber Eats. The menu looks really good overall, and I'm willing to give Hangout another try. Next time I'll probably visit in person and order earlier in the day. Since this was a late-night delivery order, that may have contributed to some of the issues. For now, I'd give it another chance, but my first experience was a bit underwhelming.
