Marlon M.Marlon Molinare: The fried oysters and beef tongue buns were amazing

Arthur L.Arthur Liao: Beef tongue, fried oysters, tuna tartare, fried rice, beef ribs, game hen - basically everything. Savories are better than desserts. IMHO one of the best and funnest bay area restaurants in years.

Tara M.Tara Medeiros: Great atmosphere (think upscale tiki) with solid food + cocktails. Tuna poke + fried oyster beef carpaccio were small plate favorites. Also if there's a Spam special - don't hesitate, just get it!
