Went there first time last night, was very surprised by the location. The wait wasn't long, people were friendly, and the food was great!!

I'd say this is by far one of the best, if not the best, burger I ever had, and the rundown, tight ambient makes the dining experience more imtimate yet casual compare to the neighbourhood or the hotel outside.

Found this on http://delivery.com and I was surprised to find some authentic Chinese food in there. The dim sum is meh, but if you do look carefully through the categories, you can find some good authentic Chinese food mixed in the American ones. Delivery is fast (I live in Union City), and now I don't have to head down to Chinatown in order to get some comfort food.

love the chilli crabs and pork steamed buns and best of all, they have SAN MIGUEL!!!!! man i haven't seen that since my days in hong knog!!!

anyway, back to the place, great friendly staff, our server was actually surprised and yet happy about me eating the cavity in the crab apparently most customers don't eat that ,what a waste. As for the food, great!!! Got nothing bad to say and I need to try out the rest next time I go

Great service, great price, if you ever want to venture out of the city to the north, gotta check this place. You do need to drive there though, there are two routes:
1) a 'scenic route' along the river
2) if you have a small car that can go up 30+ degree slopes, 'adventurous'  route (you're basically coming down from the top of a mountain and for most turns you need to do a 3-pt turn

If you love steak, you're going to have to order the 24 oz t-bone/porterhouse, they cook it perfectly.

i think they have every colour that you can think of for sweaters. huge store in soho, has a lot of things i like. first i was overwhelmed with the size and the crowd, but after i got to the 2nd floor, i was able to go find what i need/want.

this store beats h&m for me, i don't think i'll ever shop in h&m anymore...

Seriously i have nothing bad to say! Food was great, a pretty nice wine list, the food came promptly, and I had never seen service this great - the waitress came over at the appropriate times to see how we're doing, the plates/utensils get cleaned up not too early/late, and the manager(co-/owner?) also dropped by at the right time of our meal to see how we're doing. The timing for everything was just perfect. Will definitely go back, maybe not the club part (seems like it's not that good according to the posters here)

First time there for a random date night. Great service, great food, the portions are perfect (they may look small but they fill you up). The wine list is awesome, from the basics to the expensive ones, they have every kind you need for your meal. I got nothing bad to say except my meal came a little slow, considering the emptiness of the place (or maybe i was just too hungry :P)
Great place for a romantic date or just having a great group dinner.
