It can be a quick stop for lunch, a place to meet for cocktails or a family-style meal. The menu pulls inspiration from China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. [Eater 18 Member]

If you can, get the shishito peppers appetizer. I'm not a huge fan of peppers, but these are unexplainably good....so good that I went home and ordered a plant on amazon! The cocktails are great too!!

The kimchi dumplings are AMAZING. Just enough heat. Be prepared to order them again after you’ve finished your first bowl.
Christina ChinDecember 23, 2014
Great food, okinomiyaki and tom sum w chicken were a hit. Spicy papaya salad is not spicy at all and goes with the chicken

Cabbage pancake is a must. I suggest splitting dishes amongst friends to be able to taste more.

Okonomiyaki! Get it you won't be disappointed! Their Beef Noodle Soup is great to. Spicy but great. Don't sleep on this place the food is really good!

Mapo Tofu, Okonomiyaki and the Pad Kra-Pow are three of the best things we ate in 2014!

Pan-Asian soul/comfort food. Off the main drag but well worth it.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014
Feast on an exciting mix of Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Laotian dishes, updated with savvy Southern references. Read more

Best Okinomiyaki this side of Japan. Dumplings out of this world. It is spicy but a good spice. We will come back
JD LewinDecember 27, 2014
Okonomiyaki and the Mapo Tofu (which is on par with Samurai Noodle's Tetsu Hellfire).
Annabel JonesFebruary 15, 2013
Okonomiyaki is great. Ramen is decent. Lamb and pork dumplings are delicious. Ask for the house made hot sauce if you love it spicy!
jon ferrerMay 4, 2015
bold, Asian flavors in a renovated gas station -- like CHS' version of Mission Chinese. don't miss the okonomiyaki!
Jim PrattJune 26, 2018
Papaya salad, octopus, and cabbage pancakes are all a must!
Melanie W.August 21, 2017
Honestly, I was super worried that my Asian parents wouldn't like this place, but they said it was pretty good. The fried rice was delicious.
Sheila MarikarNovember 9, 2013
Biggest hits: ridiculously tender chili cumin lamb, mouth-numbing Sichuan chicken wings, sweet Southern hospitality. Go here.
Irene JungFebruary 19, 2015
try oconomiyaki and black bean fried chicken with beer! and like their rustic decor match with some asian elements.

This is a cute little Spot. The staff is super polite and Josh the Chef/Owner is wonderful. Go try this place!

(I felt like I was in Brooklyn.) Food was fantastic and really highlighted the flavors of authentic Asian cuisine.
Wyatt FunderburkJuly 6, 2015
Get the Mapo Doufu if you want an intense flavor explosion.

Good quality, delicous food and beautiful place.
Lynn Marie FrancoSeptember 16, 2016
Brisket stir fry was amazing! It's a shame the service was so terrible despite he delicious food.
Fleet LandingMarch 21, 2013
Mapo Dofu (I think!) is spicy and delish! Pancake is always a good option - get the pork candy!
Patrick HartApril 22, 2016
Get the Okonomiyaki! It looks weird on the menu, but it tastes so damn good.
Hattie StroudSeptember 2, 2018
Great space, excellent crab salad and okonomiyaki.
