In Short
This elegant Asian bistro's charming dining room airily blossoms in avocado, aqua and peach, with white tablecloths, Parisian paintings, nostalgic hipster jazz and a young lively South Pas/San Gabriel crowd. Chef-owner Jimmy Wang offers Asian fusion fare with French, Mediteranean and Burmese influences. Highlights include coffee-scented duck breast with mushroom grits, braised pork belly with roasted shallots, and Scottish salmon with ginger-carrot lentils. Burmese specialties--some lunchtime only--include Mohinga fish stew, spicy cabbage chicken salad and red curry beef stew.

This is a nice, cozy place. My friend used to work there and the owner is really friendly. The food is delicious and the chef likes to experiment with new things. I normally get the black pepper chicken or top sirloin with the purple hurricane drink. The vegetable soup and the bread that comes with the meal is really good as well. Definitely try it out!

Great Place to go! Delicious food and Cheap Price!! Good choices of drinks too!! For appetizer, I really like their spicy Cabbage chicken salad and Calamari. As for entree, I've tried many.. Beef Short Ribs Braised in Port Wine, lamb chops with Herb, Sea Bass... they are all very good. Their sizzling steaks (Taiwanese style) are what's attracting people to as well..... Everytime when we go back to LA, we always go here and enjoy the food. Definitely recommend this place to everyone!!
