Booked a massive table to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. My party and I arrived at around 9PM. The entrance is a speakeasy kind of vibe ....looks like a fancy convenience store out front but in the back is a gorgeous bar. We were sat right away and given menus. The servers assigned to our table were excellent, checking in on us very little bit and ensuring everyone's drinks were topped up. My table ordered tapas style Asian fusion food. I got the beef noodle soup which was freaking amazing. Someone else at our table got the fried rice...also very good. At around 11:30 the place TURNED upppp.....it was packed and the music was popping so it was a perfect combo of dinner and then party after. Overall great place for a large party to celebrate a birthday and the prices were average and fair for that part of town. read more

Concept is nice but poor execution, drinks are poorly balanced and definitely not worth the price. Not worth the hype.

My office had our holiday party here last week. Firstly let me say that this is not a venue that is accommodating to large groups despite their instagram tagline. We should have all known better when they wouldn't guarantee seating for 30. If 30 people wanted to come to your bar/restaurant and eat and drink all night long wouldn't you want to guarantee they have seats? I'm not a restaurant owner but I feel like that's a pretty important part of accommodating large groups. Since we didn't have guaranteed seats our group had to show up at 6:30 sharp to ensure that we could snatch up every available seat, other than the bar stools, for our group to enjoy our meal that evening. Our seating was the entire banquet along one side of the restaurant and then 4 table tops about 15 feet away from the rest of the group. The staff's attitude was beyond atrocious. I suspect that they were offended because we were wearing sequins not vintage t-shirts. They did their best to ignore us and they were very The food was very disappointing. At least if the food was amazing that would have put a more positive note on the evening. The same hot sauce or chilli was put in every dish so everything tasted the same. The dishes were served one by one, sometimes with 1 serving between 7 people, the timing was really off. Then 9pm came and the staff told everyone in the banquet that they needed those seats back for people in blundstones and toques. This ultimately led to the majority of our staff to call it a night and leave. The rest of us at our small tables in the corner finished our drinks and then went across the street to a new place called Opium. Highly recommend this place!!! Get the takoyaki, salt and pepper wings and the baos. read more

Nice environment to have cocktails, but not authentic asian cuisine, food is good for snacks to have along with drinks but not an actual dinner. Good drinks and nice ambiance , but very limited seating area. read more

I loved this place! The front is designed excellently, so you'd have no idea that there's a bar hiding back there if you weren't looking for it specifically. The music was good, decor is gorgeous, and the food was excellent! There were lots of vegetarian options too. The dinner for four is a good deal if you're part of a group and would like to try a bunch of things on the menu. Expect prices similar to any other trendy bar/restaurant on the west side of town. read more

Nice speakeasy feeling bar. Cool decor and ambience. Drinks are pricier but worth trying (I recommend the dirty money) Food items aren't my favourite but has a nice kick to them. (chilli oil with dumplings) read more

The front looks like a dispensary but you are pleasantly surprised when you enter! It's all about the Mahjong Half Moons. Prefer the pork over mushrooms. Reasonably priced, good music and fun atmosphere! read more

I was there on Thursday with a group of friends, my fourth time. The decor is very nice, the food was good, get the ramen noodles if you are hungry. The cocktails are priced high. Also if you go, make sure to get early as you do not want to deal with the door guy- he was very rude, arrogant, not welcoming as he was turning people away. I get that you are at capacity but there's no need to be so rude about it. He slammed the door in someone's face-not cool. Manager can and should be more accommodating when dealing with customer complains as well. I will not be going back due to their poor staff service. However, must say the bartenders are always on point. If you decide to go, make sure is before 8 pm to avoid the line up and bad attitude that comes with it. read more

Amazing food, bartenders are sweet, waitresses are polite and super accommodating. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend read more

This place was way too cool for me - as in, I'm not cool enough to even have gone there! I walk by all the time, during the day, when looking in it looks like a little convenience store. Very unassuming. We showed up around 930 pm on a Saturday, and we put our names on a waitlist for a table, which we didn't need, because there was plenty of space at the bar. (when they phoned us with our table, we just said we were okay at the bar) The bartender was friendly and easy going, very pleasant staff all around. The space was incredulously loud, screaming the entire time, which we thought was odd but we didn't realize this place turns into a nightclub! I saw the little sign that said, Dinner drinks dancing, and had commented, "Dancing?" Well, at midnight, lo and behold, they take away the barstools and everyone was grinding up all over each other. The clientele was a mix of King Street vibes and hipster, but everyone was really nice and in a really good mood. The music was good. Drinks and beer selection excellent. I had a great time! Bathrooms are annoyingly down a flight of stairs, which I am not sure is a great idea, and only two toilets in the women's so prepare to stand around. read more

They should get mahjong tables. I was so disappointed that they did not have a mahjong set. Also if they allowed back room gambling i would give it five stars read more

Reading the other reviews might have scared me off if the direction for pre-dance party drinks hadn't been for something close to the venue. But I loved the idea of a speakeasy style bar. You walk into the storefront and 3 people are there to greet - if you didn't know what you were there for, you might miss the whole bar. I ask for a table for 6. Since it was only for pre-activity drinks we were only staying for an hour or so. So when the hostess offered a table that was reserved later in the evening, and I said we'd be gone by then, we snagged a table right away. Walking passed the plastic curtain (might have been more interesting if they were beads), your eyes take a moment to adjust to the dark cavernous resto/bar in the back. Tables line the sides of the room with a long bar in the back. Lots of space in the middle for mingling. We were seated in the front with some eclectic armchair and couch combinations. Really cool! I'm suddenly thinking how cool it would be to have a party here, but was disappointed to hear their capacity was only 96. The wait staff was attentive. 3 people came to drop water off to the table at the start. Drinks are all really interesting. The wine options should have offered for a larger glass (5oz/9oz/bottle options) but only offered the 5 oz option. One of my friends ordered the Writers Tears... that's an idea... come back to write and drink whiskey in this secret environment. They also have Kona beer by the bottle. I'm sold! Hawaiian beer and Writers Tears? That's the beginning of an amazing screenplay in my world! I also tried the Braised Beef and Shanghai noodles with Sichuan sauce. Spicy and delicious, although the noodles tasted a little undercooked. But the spice in the sauce overrode the floury taste. Would definitely come back to try the other menu items and some Writers Tears. read more

Expensive Chinese tapas in a sixties retrofetishist ambience with uptight no nonsense hospitality from helpless white male servers. No we can't push the tables together. No we can't give you the wifi password. It's hard to feel welcome as a group of 12 with a preordered dinner that comes out 30 min after the party arrives--and the restaurant was empty on the weeknight except for us. However I'm just reporting this as an observer since I tagged along to a post-university talk dinner event. I have trouble understanding why items like braised beef noodle (which could be eaten by one person) are shared. The flavours were great but leave more to be wanted as I thought about the same dish for $8 at King noodle on spadina. The other appetizers like cold cucumber, wonton and spring rolls were uninventive and tasted about as good as from a package. There's a great choice of sour beers and crafts on the menu but I'm not sure then if this is more of a drinking establishment-- seems it is more for a hot date you're trying to impress read more

Really try hard looking bar, rude staff, and overpriced drinks with very little actual alcohol in them. Could've used that to actually enjoy the space, felt like it really wanted to be cool. Pretty unoriginal. read more

My friends were waiting inside the bar around 9:30pm for myself + another friend. The guy at the door did not let us in after I gave the name of my friend that had reserved a spot for our group. He then dismissed my friend and I very rudely. Was on a power trip. While we were waiting outside I was texting the crew to tell them the situation and asked how it was inside. They replied saying they weren't feeling it and would be glad to leave with us. They told us the vibe wasn't really friendly, service was poor and the drinks were mediocre. One of the drinks they received was not mixed properly. Don't waste your time going here. There's so many other interesting/unique bars + establishments that not only look good but have proper service and a welcoming atmosphere. You can find an aesthetically pleasing bars with good service and top notch tapas/drinks all over the city. We hit up the Dakota Tavern and Fifth Social after which ended up being so much better and had tons of good vibes. read more

A great speak-easy to wow your friends for sure! The front has kind of a LA corner store vibes to it and once you enter, a large dim-lit hall with soft globe lights hanging from the ceiling, black&white checker board floors and beautiful Chinese-American themed mural awaits. I have not tried the food but people were mostly just drinking. The decor and ambience is on POINT but the drinks (except the Tame Impala) were pricey and unworthy. Plain glasses, no decorations of them. Not even a lime or an orange peel. Bourbon was too syrup-y sweet and the egg white foam on my Green Dragon was beyond raw-egg smelling. It smelled like a low-grade egg and definitely not fresh. Still, we proceeded on having our drink and the waitress immediately tells us we have to leave at 9:30 since there's no table service?? We were puzzled but complied and as we were paying, we asked our bills would be separate she just crumpled up the paper in front of us and gave us passive aggressive attitude. Very unprofessional. I had my fair share and probably would only return if someone else wants to try it for their first time. Cool establishment, but that's about it for me. read more

I'm so happy with the service here! My waitress Lindsey was the best!!!! Best review for this place, would for sure come here again. Love this place actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Music was loud enough to get in the way of conversation, but not loud enough to feel like dancing. The entire group I was with felt the same way. Great craft beer selection. A little prettier than where I usually go. Was hoping for a little more laid back vibe, but it was overall fine. Would go back, but not in a rush. read more

Meh. Was excited to go, but disappointed in the end. Nothing fancy. All hype. Food was good. I ended up ordering a Coors?!?! Really...? Wasn't impressed with beer selection. read more

Completely appaled by the actions of your staff and your bouncers. I was waiting in line and overheard one of the bouncers humiliate another patron who was seeking entry into your establishment. The bouncer took one look at him and had said "Yeah, you're not coming in for obvious reasons". Your staff should be absolutely ashamed of themselves, never have I been so turned off just from standing in line. Get it together and teach your staff some basics on how to treat other people. read more

I don't think I've ever written a review on a bar before- but I am so compelled to do so because of the extremely rude and slow service we received at Majhong bar last night! Bar service was TERRIBLE....it wasn't killer busy, but bartenders were disinterested, so slow, and I'm not going to lie, mixed us the dullest drinks we've ever had. At one point my friend (who was buying the round) stood up there waiting 20 min to get served! Then, after the 20 min mark we were very rudely told by someone who worked there that we should order from the sides of the bar instead of the middle?! We were so done. We were 4 girls ready to buy rounds and drink- but this "try too hard" bar just didn't measure up at all....we will never be back. read more

This is my new favourite spot to grab a drink, especially during the week. The cocktails are delicious, the crowd is cool and the space is beautiful. read more
