The quiet ambience and nice decor inside create a great dining experience. Service is fast and very friendly. The Green papaya and mango salad and Tuna Kanilaw were so good. The Singkong goreng and Crab Khao Soi were simply delectable. Recommended the Short ribs kare kare to share the large plate. The tiramisu and dark chocolate dessert are so delicious.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with our daughter at this quaint restaurant in Durham.
We started with blistered shishito peppers and dumplings. Everything was flavorful and good portions for 3 of us to share.
We then shared half of a fried chicken with spicy honey sauce, korean short ribs and stir-fried vegetables. The chicken was crispy, juicy and sweet heat with the sauce. The short ribs were thin and cut with bone on one side. Good flavor and large portion. The vegetables were a perfect accompaniment to the meats. Excellent service and quiet atmosphere.

The food was exceptional, with each dish perfectly timed for a small plates experience. Any fusion of Asian flavors wins me over, and this did not disappoint. The Chive Pancakes were a delightful surprise—more chive than pancake, offering a refreshing break from the typical versions seen elsewhere. The Crab Khao Soi and Sisig were both outstanding, flawlessly executed in every way.
The decor was charming, though the front dining area felt a bit tight for seating, which is the only minor drawback.

I came yesterday, I’ll definitely be back! I had the following (Bikini Bottom, Peking Duck Lumpia Rolls and the Kalbi). The restaurant was vibrant and peaceful, I sat on the patio. Only thing I’d recommend is if a side came with the Kalbi, but other than that I experienced amazing service and had an amazing dinner.

It was first time at this restaurant and I must say I will be back. We came to partake in advertised special and we ordered that and more!!!!!! I must say our experience from the hostess to the kitchen staff was awesome. Our server Shaq was patient and answered all of our questions in addition to giving us some suggestions. I will be revisiting soon

My husband and I went there for our 11th anniversary. The atmosphere is great, a little too loud for us. Our server was excellent. She answered all menu questions and made good suggestions about what to order for our meal. The food was good but had no seasoning and there was no seasoning on the table either. We had to ask our server for some soy sauce. Our drinks were on the ok side. My husband’s beer wasn’t cold enough and my wine was over priced.

EDIT: We came back for dinner after our pleasant Valentine's Day meal. Our server Kristen was attentive and yet another wonderful dining experience. Definitely adding this restaurant to our list great Durham restaurants. For appetizer, we ordered the special dumplings (beef and scallions) and the potato hash. For entree, the pasta special (crab, scallops, and shrimp with chili garlic fettuccine) and the stir fry glass noodles. All the dishes are well seasoned and the flavor profiles are immaculate.
Came here for Valentine's Day dinner and enjoyed our experience. Our server Sean was wonderful. The menu is delicious (and they do rotate items according to my server). Food comes out whenever they are ready and are meant to be shared. It's on the "smaller" serving side so you might want to order more (or just wait until the food are all out if you're still hungry).
I definitely recommend the Kalbi and the Lychee Limeade mocktail. All in all it was a great experience and I can't wait to come back to try more of their menu items.

My friends and I had the best experience there on NYE. The waiter (I forgot his name) but he was amazing! Everything we ordered was flavorful and decadent!
This is the perfect spot to come with friends as most of the menu items are shareable.
Altogether a really, really nice dining experience!

Service and ambiance here are great. Food is top tier as well. Take your time with the pairings. Chandler the server is great and DJ Suave Vibe has the playlist poppin’ we sang and danced while we ate. We had an excellent time here.
