Anson W.Anson Wang: Can't go wrong here. Stand outs include truffle mac n cheese, crispy chicken, mapo tofu, kimchi paella

Jess N.Jess Naldo: Let's be real: You came here for the adult "Capri Sun," but food, you can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Faves are the avocado, tacos, kimchi paella, soft shell crab and the steak. So, everything.

Jess L.Jess L: Edamame dumplings were insanely good. Avocado starter (fresh, good flavor), kimchi paella, mapo tofu (spicy for sure) were all delicious. Service was very friendly, accommodating, and compassionate
