    I was really disappointed by the food and drinks. I understand this might be a place to go more for the vibes rather than the food, and don’t get me wrong the vibe was kinda nice, but the cocktails were so bad i was really surprised. The food, given the price, was extremely disappointing. The staff was good, but the place was very over staffed, and you had someone come to your table every two minutes, which felt like way too much. How bad the cocktails were will remain a mystery to me. I wonder if they were maybe premade or something, and just poured later on? We went to a cocktail bar after dinner a block away and had way better cocktails for half the price. Really disappointing.

    The imperial rolls and the pad Thai were excellent. Also the salmon on crispy rice delicious. Was extremely disappointed with the bok choy, because we thought we were ordering one thing that was not fried and healthy and turns out it was crispy and smothered with soy sauce basically an edible and definitely not healthy. There really needs to be more healthy sides or vegetables and salad on the menu to make it more balanced

    Unfortunately, the filet mignon anti Cucho was completely overdone, and we had a group of seven so my husband did not say anything to the waiter.

    Out of the park!!! The best Asian culinary experience ever from the food to the setting to the service, wine selection they have it all. I highly recommend having a GAO experience it was unfortunately. Can’t wait to go soon again 👍 👊 ❤️
