I like the atmosphere. I love the extensive use of bamboo, and the BIG airy main room, but I think thats where the love ends because I've been to this place twice, and I can't seem to find any particular dish that I like. First of all, every single dish that I had, I seem to have an issue with. The calamari, the Viet inspired dish (mostly vegetables, no meat), etc. had an over-powering use of curry powder. Now, I know this place is a mixture of Korean (kalbi), Japanese (sushi, saikyo miso yuan yaki), and southeast Asian (satay) influence, but they don't do ONE specific cusine JUSTICE. So if your looking for something special, than stick to the typical Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, etc. restaurants.
Pros: Use of Bamboo
