CRISPY DUCK DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST TRY THEY WERE LIFE CHANGING

Comparable to any other sushi spot, but the food prep and design was much more creative. The dessert was outstanding as well!

What a great addition to downtown Ann Arbor! Excellent upscale Asian cuisine in a chic setting. Loved the disco funk playlist. All dishes were great, with favorite being the tuna nigiri on crispy rice cake with spicy mayo, the pork and foi gras soup dumplings, and the poached pear with mascarpone and toasted almonds. Who knew a pear could be so delicious! Lots of great sushi selections and entrees too. We sat at a table but there also a big long, sleek bar with no one there last night—because it’s January? We will be back!

Peking duck was tasty but not traditional (nor should it be). Dim sum was hit and miss. Tastes were fantastic but execution was poor (they fell apart easily, were stuck to the bottom of the bamboo steamer). Pork bun was fantastic, not as thick of a chew threw the bun itself, but honestly liked it better than the usual. Service was fantastic and it's a good idea that you can get the duck ahead of time but honestly would recommend branching out the menu and make it all small bites family style noodles and rice.

We have been wanting to try this restaurant since they opened, but delayed going because of Covid. It was wonderful...food was delicious, A serene atmosphere, and the service was terrific. We will definitely be back.
