The hostesses were not welcoming, and the service from our waitress was mediocre. The food was the most disappointing part of the experience. The quality and flavors of our dishes were far below what one would expect from a Michelin level restaurant. Everything felt quite basic, and the dessert was the worst of all, it was inedible due to its cloying sweetness. There's a valet parking service at the restaurant's entrance. To get a discount on the valet fee, you need to get your ticket stamped in the restaurant. With the stamp, the fee is $10.00, while without it, it's $20.00. This was our first and last time visiting this restaurant.

We arrived around 10:15 p.m. on a Friday night, with the restaurant closing at 11:00 p.m. Maybe that contributed to our experience, although several other parties were seated after us, so we weren't the last customers of the evening. We ordered quickly since we already knew what we wanted. My partner ordered the special, I ordered the ramen, and we shared the fried shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. Our server was friendly and attentive, though it was clear the staff was beginning to transition into closing mode. Unfortunately, that affected the atmosphere. While we were still eating, employees were spraying tables and mopping nearby. The smell of cleaning chemicals mixed with our food, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. When my ramen arrived, it looked more like a wonton soup or pho than the ramen I was expecting. I didn't question it because I assumed it might be their interpretation of the dish. However, the broth was quite bland, and the vegetables were still somewhat undercooked. The chicken had no seasoning, it tasted like it was boiled within the broth. After a few bites and sips, I decided not to finish it. My partner seemed to enjoy his meal, though he tends to be pretty easygoing when it comes to food. I didn't try his dish since it was very spicy and that's not really my thing. The restaurant is in a great location on Central Avenue, which makes it a fun area to walk around and people-watch. However, with most dishes priced around $20, I expected a better overall experience and higher quality food. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I would return to.

One thing I really appreciated was that they can customize the spice level to your liking. I prefer my food on the spicier side, while my friends like things a bit milder, so it worked out perfectly for everyone. The only downside was the restaurant's hours. We met for dinner on a Thursday night at 7 PM, which feels like a pretty normal after-work dinner time, but they close at 8 PM. For a restaurant that serves dinner and cocktails, that felt surprisingly early. To their credit, the staff never rushed us out and were very patient while we continued catching up past closing. However, the early closing time would make it difficult for me to come back regularly, especially for weeknight dinners with friends. Overall, the food was excellent and I'd definitely recommend it, just be sure to keep their hours in mind.

Now being from Houston, I've been spoiled by authentic hole the wall offerings, so my expectations are rather high. This place does cater to a more American clientele, but the dishes were still prepared well. We started the meal with vegetarian spring rolls. They were rolled fresh, with a delicious peanut sauce accompanying them. I ordered the special bo ne, and it arrived with a beautifully cooked sunny side egg, soft flakey bread, and tender beef. I didn't notice and pate though and addressed it with the waiter. He took the dish back and brought it back explaining that then pate had melted onto the skillet. Sensing my disappointment, he brought a little extra scoop of pate on the side for me! Perfect! The dining room was very room, and they turned on the air at our request, which made the experience much better. Definitely a nice stop.

I couldn't stop thinking about the food afterward, so I immediately made a trip to the restaurant to try more. This time, we went to the location across from Ferg's because it was a little chilly and we wanted to sit inside and eat everything right away. We even drove from Tampa, even though there's a food truck closer, because we really wanted the full sit-down dining experience. We ordered the ahi tuna dirty rice, the bang bang shrimp (a special I saw online), and the pork belly buns. This was my first time trying the shrimp and the buns, and let me tell you... the buns did NOT disappoint. They were so fluffy, cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. And the bang bang shrimp? I loved it almost more than the ahi tuna. It had the most perfect crisp and crunch. You order outside and everything is made fresh. It didn't take too long at all, and the food came out warm and insanely good. I'm a huge dumpling girl, so I already know I need to go back ASAP to try the truffle gyoza and the wagyu gyoza. The lobster crab rangoons also sounded incredible. If you haven't been yet, this place is 100% worth the hype, and the repeat visits.

The food was overpriced and mediocre at best. The quality didn't come close to justifying the…read moreprices. The only somewhat decent dish was the ahi tuna dirty rice, but the protein-to-rice ratio was questionable, especially when a dirty rice plate already costs $9. The braised beef short rib bao buns ($12 for two) were overly sweet and had a mushy texture. The truffle gyoza (5 pieces) somehow arrived burnt on one side across every piece and were only mildly warm when served. Service was average overall. The indoor seating is nice, and being located in the heart of St. Pete gives the restaurant a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting or the prices. I would not come back.
