This place is a vibe! It was an hour wait for a table, but there’s a pub nearby. It’s 100% worth the wait. The cocktail list is fun! The oysters were briny and the mignonette sorbet was bright and went well. The curry wings were flavorful and the ranch was herby and clean. The ramen was next level. You could tell the noodles were handmade and the broth was so savory! It was one of the best ramens we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The type of fun cocktails that I either had to go with my gut or google the ingredients. Didn’t disappoint. Oysters were delicious, curry chicken wings were tender, juicy, flavorful, and different. Handmade dumplings are always a must and they lived up to the hype. Pork belly ramen was perfect for the cold weather - amazing flavors. Our server recommended the spicy on the side and that was sound advice since I’m a bit of a wimp. I’ll definitely go back.

Great dinner and drinks. Our table for a Painkiller and a Gold Rush and everyone was happy. Gyoza and Bao Buns were yummy, and all the ramen was great - Shoyu, Tonkotsu, and the Birria/ramen mash up they’re currently offering. Service was great. Another thing worth mentioning is they actually have a nice area to wait for a table so you can start your conversations with your dinner companions while lounging.
