We came here to celebrate my birthday, and the whole experience was honestly memorable from beginning to end. The food was excellent, but what really made the night special was the service, especially from Mandy and the entire team. Mandy took such great care of our table throughout the meal. She checked on us constantly, gave thoughtful recommendations while we were ordering, and made us feel genuinely welcomed rather than simply "served." What impressed me most was how much warmth she brought to the birthday celebration. She prepared a birthday longevity noodle for us because, in Chinese tradition, long noodles represent a long and healthy life. I honestly wasn't expecting that at all. She even mixed the noodles thoroughly for us before serving them. It was such a thoughtful gesture and gave the whole dinner a lot more meaning. The other servers were excellent as well. Everyone was attentive and regularly checked whether we needed anything without being intrusive. The chef who carved our Peking duck tableside was also very warm and friendly. He specifically reminded us to enjoy the duck while it was still hot, explaining that the skin and fat are best when freshly served and can become much fattier in texture once they cool down. That little interaction showed how much they cared about us enjoying the food properly. And the food absolutely lived up to the service. The Peking duck was the star, beautifully glossy, crisp skin with tender meat, served with thin pancakes and all the traditional accompaniments. We also had several vegetable dishes that were fresh and nicely balanced, chicken that was tender and flavorful, and crispy shrimp is a must. Even the smaller dishes and desserts were beautifully presented. The dessert assortment was especially fun because we could try several different traditional-style sweets instead of just having one heavy dessert. The restaurant itself has a beautiful traditional Chinese atmosphere, which made the birthday dinner feel even more special. Between the food, the tableside duck carving, and especially the kindness from Mandy and the team, this became much more than just a birthday meal. Thank you again to Mandy and everyone who took care of us. You made my birthday feel genuinely celebrated, and that kind of hospitality is something I'll remember for a long time. 5 stars without hesitation. I would absolutely come back for another special occasion. read more

This is where you bring your Chinese girlfriend's parents on special occasions when you want to impress them. The restaurant is designed like Chinese imperial palaces. It's beautiful and such a vibe. Makes sense that they also offer their restaurant for weddings. Service is excellent. The staffs are so well trained, knowledgeable about their dishes and have such a charm about the way they speak. Food is also just spectacular. Expect quality and refined techniques and elevate flavors of traditional Chinese dishes and special seasonal ingredients they source from China. It's familiar yet refreshing. Dishes I would order again: Crispy Shrimp - This is their signature dish, sweetened with Hawthorne, so delicious and refreshing. Garlic Flat Beans - This was cooked to perfection, crispy with dried shrimp and so addictive Na's Secret Tofu - I don't know what's their secret but this was so good. On par with what I've had in Asia, where they use seaweed instead of spinach. But I really liked the spinach because it tasted very organic and healthy. read more

What we got: Crispy Shrimp Na's Spicy Chicken Honey Braised Beef Shrimp Fried Rice Vegetables I would get everything again. So good! The flavor of the shrimp, chick, and beef was amazing and the beef was amazingly cooked perfectly. Sad I wasn't able to try the pecking duck but next time we will!!! Also shoutout to the staff for being so nice and accommodating. We are definitely coming back soon. read more

Bistro Na's is an elevated imperial Chinese and Michelin guide dining experience that you need to try at least once! Definitely book a table in advanced as reservations are highly recommended. There are parking lots directly in the plaza or additional underground parking as well. Inside, they have a royal and imperial setup with lots of seating. They have an extensive menu with so many good options to choose from. Wifey and I stopped by for our anniversary dinner and got a spread consisting of the Braised Chinese Yam, Pork Intestines, Na's Secret Tofu, and Na's Prime Angus Rib. Everything that we had was delicious but I would say the angus rib is a must try! There is a reason why this spot has over 2,000+ positive reviews! read more

Bistro Na's truly stands out as one of the finest upscale Chinese restaurants in the Los Angeles area. A former Michelin one-star restaurant, it continues to impress with its refined presentation, authentic Chinese flavors, and attention to detail. The crispy shrimp was absolutely delicious--perfectly golden, wonderfully crispy, and full of flavor. The other dishes were equally enjoyable, especially the beautifully prepared vegetables, tofu, and tender meat dishes. What I appreciate most is how the restaurant elevates traditional Chinese cuisine while preserving its authentic character. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with a wonderful balance of flavor, texture, and presentation. It is always a pleasure to find Chinese cuisine presented with such elegance and sophistication. Definitely one of my favorite places for an elevated Chinese dining experience in Los Angeles. Highly recommended! read more

Tonight I ordered 2 dishes I've never ordered here before: * Bejing mushu pork - I think I like this more than Peking duck, same setup but a different protein. Absolutely delicious. * Winter melon and meatball casserole (from their seasonal menu) - it's soupy but not a conventional soup, soft mini pork balls and winter melon cubes cooked in a light aromatic broth seasoned with dried scallop. When eaten together, the pork meatballs and winter melon just melt in your mouth. It's a winning summer dish. * Fried egg tofu - as good as the first time! read more

Quality, tasty, unique options. This restaurant is worth a try, and the flavor combinations in addition to the aesthetic presentation lives up to their prior Michelin recognitions. Setting is traditional and antique. - Stir Fried Organic Angled Luffa with Garlic $24.0: simple, yet oh so garlicky and perfectly cooked. would recommend - Old Beijing Smoked Duck Breast $25.0: truly smoky, and with the strawberry puree, it's oddly refreshing! would recommend - The Qing Dynasty Jar(Person) $38.0: goopy soup, with tender abalone (1 pc), fish maw, and scallops which both were harder/chewier than I expected. Bland until combined with the fermented tofu to taste. I'm glad I tried this, but I wouldn't get it again. was not a fan of the texture - Crispy Shrimp $28.0: simple, crunchy, big ol shrimps (8 pc). Sweet and nicely glazed. Jujubes were an interesting addition. prob wouldn't get again tho bc it's simple enough - Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce $36.0: chewy black bean pork, wrapped in a few-bites sized stretchy wrapper. very unique! Never had anything like this and would recommend. a decent portion. - Organic purple rice $6.0: unfortunately they ran out by the time we ordered around 8:30PM or so. 2 bowls was plenty for the 3 of us Service is fast and generally attentive. Heads up - if you're interested in the peking duck, make sure to call a week in advance to reserve it. Also reserve a table in advance (day before should be fine). Parking: busy lot but there is ample underground parking. Around 815pm on a Sunday there are few spots on top It is pricey compared to other options in the area, so I'd come back for occasions. read more

So first time here, this place is very nice inside. Lots of tables. Waiting area is a little small. Make reservations trust me it gets packed. The waiters and the greeters were super friendly. The waitress took our order and remembered everything she didn't write it down she didn't have a device all memorized and got it right I'm glad we came here it's good to try different style of cuisines. It is pricey! I liked some of the food better than others since we ordered a lot of stuff. Over all good experience. read more

Bistro Na's - Crispy shrimp, lamb chops, Tofu Skin Salad, shrimp fried rice, and black pepper beef had shavings of chillis but also numbed my tongue - Seafood Near Me - Temple City, California

Was looking for a family dinner spot last year around Christmas. We came to Bistro Na's and it was packed, but we were able to get on the waitlist. We probably waited close to an hour before getting seated which wasn't too bad considering it was the holidays and many other guests had reservations. Overall, you're paying for the ambiance and how nice the restaurant looks inside as well as presentation of the food. For the most part we ordered a variety of dishes and all seemed over priced and bland in flavor. The lobster noodle is better at some places like Boston lobster. It was missing a lot of flavor and it was a smaller quantity with a high price tag. No dishes really stood out at all, but the service was good. read more

Wowww, I would give this place six stars if I could. I loved every dish we ordered, the price is also so so reasonable for the quality and taste of the food. Obviously the Peking duck was phenomenal and they give you a big portion. Our dining experience was actually 10/10, the food came out insanely quick. Shout out to our server Jerry!!! He took amazing care of us, he was so fun and brought out Longevity noodles since we were celebrating a birthday. I truly recommended making a reservation early and give this spot a try!!! read more

Outstanding, Emperor- style dishes. Service and presentation are out of this world. One of the floor managers (Caucasian) is a bit too friendly/aggressive. While most people on staff have an old-world, calm and welcoming demeanors, he is loud and over the top. He needs to learn some Asian ways in an Asian establishment such as this. Being loud and "big" is not welcoming, inviting, or pleasing to the eye and ear. He does not appear humble. Thank God Lisa was there. She is really the glue that holds that place together. Superior service. Everything was delicious as always, but they put large parties on small round tables and we never have enough space. Still - five star experience. Love coming here. read more

A very solid introduction to fine Chinese dining if you've never had it before. I came here for the Dine LA experience and it was well worth the $68 for 2 people. There are a lot of people that come here though, so highly recommend making reservations. The Dine LA menu is such a good sampling of the best that Bistro Na's has to offer: + Chili tofu skin salad: Surprisingly not overly spicy. Very tolerable, even for someone like me that admits to be weak on spice. + Zhajiang noodles: Very aromatic and flavorful. Al dente noodles. + Crispy shrimp: The personal highlight for me. The outer shrimp skin is cooked perfectly for eating and these are so juicy and fresh. It takes real skill to not overcook shrimp and they do this so well. + Cheese pudding koi: This isn't overly sweet and it really hits the mark for a Chinese pudding. The caramel drizzle is a nice touch to make this truly a dessert. Everything was so well done, ambiance is very nice, and service is on point. You really can't ask for more. read more

It's been 5 years since our last visit and I still don't think they've improved much. My family was craving some good peiking duck so we called weeks ahead to order since they require minimum 7 days order prior reservation. Duck itself was good, however, they asked a person who doesn't seem very experienced cutting our duck. A lot of the skin pieces were broken by her dull knife... which is such a shame ruining duck that was cooked beautifully by their chef... on top of that, I saw A LOT of meat left on the duck bone when I opened the leftover at home. We could've enjoyed the fresh duck a lot more. Other than the duck, crispy shrimp very much disappointed me too. It was over cooked/over fried. Staff was always busy you can hardly find someone to ask for anything. Our water was never refilled. Unfortunately, I'll probably give it another 5 year before my next visit. read more

We had the chrysanthemum tea, a bottle of white wine, fried rice, chili skin tofu salad, crispy shrimp, sea cucumber & beef tendon, pork belly, its alot for between the three of us but we loved it!

Amazing atmosphere, food, and service. On the second day for DineLA in August 2026, my bf and I visited Bistro Na's for their dinner menu. He's been wanting to go so I made reservations on OpenTable. We were seated right away. The seating towards the wall is seated kind of low so I swapped seats with my bf. Our favorite menu items were the Crispy Shrimp and the Braised Lobster with Crab Roe Sauce. The portion is excellent for dineLA. It's a good sampling of a few of their popular items. The restaurant didn't expect as huge of a turnout for DineLA so some items may be swapped or there might be a bit of a delay getting the items out. Highly recommend. Despite some hiccups, they were really kind and the service was great! read more

It's been a while since I've genuinely enjoyed every single dish a restaurant gives out. We went for the dine LA dinner special and everything from the tofu skin salad to the dessert was amazing. I'm usually not a big fan of Szechuan and the numbing part but the tofu skin salad had the perfect balance of chili, Szechuan, oil, etc where it's so addicting to eat. The crispy shrimp was tangy and sweet and had the perfect crunch to it while the shrimp was still plump and juicy. I'm excited to try out their other items! read more

I hate to give this place 3 stars because the first time I came here, it was amazing. Unfortunately, this time around, I felt like the quality of the food just wasn't there. I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and our bill ended up being around $800. This is definitely one of those restaurants you'd go to for a special occasion, not somewhere you'd come every month, especially because the prices are almost double what you'd pay at a typical family style Chinese restaurant. For that price, I just expected more. Fried Mushrooms 5/5: Stayed consistent the past 3 times I've been here! Crispy, flavorful and still one of my favorites. Deep Fried Lamb 2/5: If you love lamb and don't mind the gaminess, then this dish might be for you. Eating it with the beans actually brought out the gamey flavor even more, which I personally didn't enjoy. Na's Prime Angus Rib 3/5: I contemplated ordering this but decided I wanted to try it. I think if the beef was cooked medium rare, it would've tasted way better, but I'm assuming this is the intended style of the dish, so I understand. The black pepper bean sauce was amazing and you could tell it was made in house. The sweet and sour sauce, however, tasted like something store bought. Na's Secret Tofu 3/5: Crispy on the outside with a silky tofu texture inside, but overall I felt like it was under seasoned. Fried Pea Sprouts 3/5: Good, but honestly pretty typical of what you'd get at most Chinese restaurants. Na's Drunken Chicken 4/5: This was surprisingly really tasty. You could tell the chicken was cooked and chilled properly because you could see a thick layer of collagen gel underneath the skin. The texture and flavor were both really good. Manchurian Peppered Lamb Chops 4/5: No gamey flavor at all. Cooked just right and seasoned perfectly. I definitely preferred this over the deep fried lamb. Crispy Shrimp 5/5: I've had this dish 3 times now and it has been consistently amazing every single time. This is easily one of the best dishes here and probably the one I'd recommend the most. The texture and flavor have always been spot on. This dish alone makes me understand why this restaurant received Michelin recognition. Braised Abalone & Pork Belly 4/5: The abalone was super tender, which honestly shocked me because so many restaurants at this caliber tend to mess it up by overcooking it. The pork belly itself was also incredibly tender and flavorful. It had just enough structure that you could pick it up without it falling apart, but once you ate it, it was super tender. It tasted like the fat had been rendered down beautifully while the pork itself still held its integrity. Buns That Came With the Pork Belly 0/5: Listen, I understand the concept behind serving this style of bun and I respect that they want to keep things authentic... but this damn bun was drier than a damn Popeyes biscuit. Please change the buns or give us another option because these were straight up trash. I understand that Bistro Na's specializes in Imperial Chinese cuisine inspired by dishes and cooking traditions from the Qing Dynasty royal court, so I respect their effort to preserve some of these traditional preparations but that pork belly deserved better! Overall, I honestly don't think I'd come back. I'd still rave about the crispy shrimp and tell people how good that dish is, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place anymore. There was nothing wrong with the service either. Everyone was great. My disappointment really comes down to the food and the value. When you're spending close to $800 on dinner for 6 people, I think it's fair to expect a certain level of quality and consistency. Unfortunately, this visit just didn't deliver, which is disappointing because I know how good this place can be. read more

Bistro Na's was one of the highlights of my DineLA Winter 2026 experience. I returned for the DineLA Summer 2026 edition, and alas, Na's has lost some of its lustre. The restaurant remains physically beautiful with its elegant interior "hidden" in a non-descript outdoor mall with both street level and underground parking. Reservations are still advised, and the famed Peking Duck still requires one week's advanced notice. I noticed Na's website no longer shows their full menu, only a menu for ordering pick-up or delivery. This is unfortunate, because the full menu is vast and quite beautiful with its photos and descriptions. Service is still sometimes rushed and haphazard. I had to wait a bit for my dessert because they did not remember to bring it. I made sure to ask for my check when the dessert came to avoid further waiting. To make matters worse, the A/C was broken during my visit! I wished I had brought my portable fan! The manager is a non-Asian man, probably the same one as last visit. The DineLA Lunch menu still had some great dishes, but was different from the Winter menu. That is, it had less value for diners, less cost for the restaurant. Some fabulous dishes were still present, namely the drunken chicken, tofu skin salad, CRISPY SHRIMP, Beijing Zhajiang Noodles, Lucky Koi milk pudding--those shrimp continue to be a wonder. But Na's Secret Tofu, once an appetizer, is now a vegetarian entree, although still surely delish. Shrimp fried rice was no longer an option. And the fabulous sweet fried rice cakes have been replaced by less fabulous sweet rice rolls, and a smaller portion to boot. The Crystal Pear drink and tea were still beverage options, but no more mimosas. Overall still a good value and great way to experience this gourmet spot, but the economy/inflation affects us all. read more

Brought friends from out of town for dinner on Sunday night and had immediate PTSD, same table as last time that left me with a desire not to return. Same scenario, 8 people cramped into a 6 person table. Luckily from previous experience I knew to immediately talk to the manager and request that the meal be paced and not dump 5 dishes on a table that sits 6 and only have a central area that fits one dish. Luckily we had June as our server and she understood the assignment. Things arrived slower by request and when the table was getting full and I nentioned it to June she handled it The crispy shrimp is still the fish I would drive here for. The drunken chicken was not as good as the first time I tried it. Tonight, thanks to June, I found out why I am not a fan of the secrete tofu, it's basically steamed egg. The crispy mushrooms were seasoned like the shrimp so it's my second favorite dish and would order it again. Crispy lamb I would probably skip. The crispy shrimp remains the dish ibwould drive here for, though it could be a little crispier. read more

Visited this place a couple times, the Chinese foods are on the good side, the price is higher than other places though, especially they ask you what tea you want after sitting down without claiming the price, don't think it like other Chinese restaurants that offer free tea, they will charge you $16 at the end read more

First time at Bistro Na's was for DineLA August 2026. We sampled Na's Drunken Chicken, Sweet and Sour Cherry Pork, Beijing Yanji Cold Noodles, Braised Lobster with Crab Roe Sauce, Crystal Pear Soup-Ice as beverage, and Imperial Rice Wine Cheese Pudding/ Imperial Dessert with Seasonal Fruit for dessert. The Sweet and Sour Cherry Pork was the best Sweet and Sour dish of any type that I've ever had. Fruity and meaty, cherries and pork are a match made in heaven. The cold noodles were also outstanding. Service was definitely on the erratic side; I had to get the servers' attention at times. The parking lot in the mini-mall is a true nightmare, so allow time for parking. But the menu? Totally worth it! read more

Peking duck was ordered a week ahead. The restaurant is inside a busy shopping center. The decoration and decor are pretty nice. Service is a bit spotty/slow but friendly. 1. Peking duck: Cut table side. Didn't really live up to expectations, The skin wasn't very crispy. 2. Peking duck soup: Soup was light but had nice flavor 3. Crispy Shrimp: very crispy, sweet. 4. Black cod with eggplant: Didn't like the sauce 5. Stir fried luffa: pretty good. Liked the garlic sauce. Rice is extra cost but was good. Overall, the dishes were okay and a bit on the expensive side. Came for the duck which was okay read more

This was my very first Michelin-starred restaurant experience, and it definitely lived up to the occasion! We came here to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. For special occasions, you can reserve a private banquet room, which comes with your own dedicated server. Just be sure to book well in advance, as these rooms are in high demand. Keep in mind that there's also a minimum food and beverage spend for our party, it was $800. Every single dish we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Our meal included: The Chili Tofu Skin Crispy Shrimp - highly recommend Na's Prime Angus Ribs - highly recommend Braised Abalone & Pork Belly with Chinese Puffy Pie - highly recommend Shrimp Fried Rice with Bonito - my fav! Beijing Zhajiang Noodles - my fav! Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce served with handmade steamed Chinese pancakes - skip Boiled Matsutake Mushrooms - skip Fried mixed Mushrooms- skip Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber - my fav! Every dish was expertly prepared, beautifully garnished, and showcased the attention to detail you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you're celebrating a special occasion or looking to treat yourself to a fine dining experience, this restaurant is well worth the visit. P.s. order the Hot Pear Juice! it was warm, comforting. read more

This made it awkward passing thr dishes around to everyone. No family set menu on weekends only on weekdays We didnt get to try thr peking duck cause it has to be reserved one week ahead of time To be honest i dont know why they got a michelin star in thr past - all thr dishes werejust typical chinese dishes you can get at any chinese banquet type of restaurants It was definitely expensive and the portions way too small for the price - spent like 450 for the 6 of us and left a bit hungry read more

Been a few years since I've last updated my review here. We've been back many times since they first opened and the food/service has been consistently good. After many failed attempts, we were finally able to reserve the Peking duck and I'd say it's pretty damn good. Almost on par with Da Dong or 1949 in Beijing. Love the newish manager Daiano who will give you an awesome background of the Na family business in China and LA/OC. We have been requesting Jerry as our server as his service has been fantastic. read more

A master carver came to our table to carve the Peking duck. Nice demo. Beautiful ambiance with Chinese decor, ornate chairs and lanterns. Great service. Overall, pricey, but you're also paying for the ambience and show. Go early to find parking on the lot. Nice place to try at least once. read more

This time around, the service was top-notch. I had a reservation to celebrate a birthday, and they had a table ready for us when we arrived. They even remembered that we were there for the birthday celebration, which was a nice touch. The food came out much quicker than during my last visit, and the quality remains high. We ordered a total of six dishes to share among three people and left feeling reasonably full. Here's what we had: Crispy Shrimp - A must-order. It's incredibly crispy without being overly seasoned, which lets the texture shine. (5/5) Smoked Pork Rib - So good. I've never had anything quite like it. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and absolutely delicious. (5/5) Shrimp Fried Rice with Bonito - An elevated take on Chinese fried rice. It's a bit pricey, but definitely a step above your standard fried rice. (4.5/5) Stir-Fried Pea Sprouts with Mushroom - A simple, classic vegetable dish that is a must-order. The flavors weren't overpowering, which I really appreciated. (4.5/5) Chinese Beef Pie - Probably the most basic item we ordered, but still very tasty. It reminded me of a pan-fried bao with a flavorful beef filling. (4/5) Old Beijing Minced Eggplant Noodles - They were kind enough to provide this dish complimentary for the birthday celebration. The flavors were simple, but it was still very enjoyable. (4.5/5) Overall, it was a great experience. It's definitely more of a special-occasion restaurant, as our bill came out to about $120 for three people. However, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the food quality is consistently high. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and I'd gladly return. read more

finally got to try this restaurant! came in for the lunch dinela deal. they have yelp waitlist so be sure to put your name down earlier if you have a bigger party. i had a party of 2, it quoted 45 minutes but we got seated within 10 minutes or less. the food is good but it cost $90 after tax and tip for 2 people (dine la set was 68 pre tax) , it wasn't anything amazing to me. what really stood out to me was their customer service. they pack up your food for you and there are a lot of workers around so it's not hard to flag someone down. i'd be interested in coming back to try out their dinner menu but not a priority at all. i'm glad they offered this dine la menu because there are a lot of options to choose from. we got drunken chicken, zhajiang noodles, crispy shrimp, sweet rice roll, and green teas. the interior is also really nicely decorated but i wish there were windows read more

Decided to come here for dinner on a whim and managed to snag a table despite not having a reservation. I knew the restaurant was upscale, but didnt realize they were Michelin rated. It was popping on a Friday evening and I can see why. The service and food are both excellent (although it also does come with a heftier price tag) We wanted to get the peking duck, but unfortunately it requires a week of advanced reservation. We ended up getting: Prime angus ribs - Excellent, super tender and flavorful meat that goes well with the (black pepper?) sauce Shredded pork with sweat bean sauce - comes served with chinese pancake (the thin stretchy crepe kind, not tortilla or bun). You eat it similar to how you'd eat a peking duck wrap, with some cucumber and spring onions but replace the duck with the shredded pork hah. Good flavor, enjoyed this dish quite a bit Stir fried pea sprouts - The dish comes stir fried with mushroom but we opted for a garlic stir fry (without mushroom) instead and it was excellent. Very garlicky and tasty. Secret Tofu - this was the most disappointing dish. It came recommended, but the tofu was more like an egg tofu and it wasnt crispy enough. Will pass. Will return again to try their peking duck next time! read more

I finally got to try this spot for my birthday and the food was good, but I can see why they lost their one Michelin star twice. I came here for my birthday dinner with a friend and made a reservation via OpenTable in advance. We dined around 5pm and the restaurant wasn't too packed at that time since they just opened. My friend and I ordered a lot of dishes: -Diced Black Pepper Honey Angus Beef: Our favorite dish of the night. I've never had beef that can have a perfectly crispy exterior, but a tender and rare interior. This was delicious and the flavors and textures were on point. A shame that this was only 4 small pieces in one order though. -Braised Pork Belly: This dish was also great. There were large chunks of fat on the meat, but it literally just melts in your mouth. The pork was tender and flavorful. Delicious. -Tofu Skin Salad: I quite liked this dish. A great appetizer. The texture was great and the seasoning wasn't too strong. -Crispy Shrimp: One of the dishes they're known for. The shrimp was large, plump and crispy, but kind of overhyped. -Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetable Noodles: If Pad Thai and Chow Mein had a baby, this would be that dish. A solid noodle dish, but tasted and felt like something you could get at a mom n pop Chinese spot. -Shrimp Fried Rice with Bonito Flakes: Solid shrimp and egg fried rice. I think the bonito flakes are unnecessary though. The flavor from them is distinct and doesn't match with the fried rice in my opinion. -Crispy Tuna Poke Salad: Honestly, this is the weirdest dish I've seen at a Chinese restaurant. It was a fusion of many different things. Crispy rice shells reminiscent of Indian Panipuri filled with a sweet and creamy poke salad reminiscent of Asian fruit salad all served on a bed of chocolate chips? This wasn't bad, but it was too out of the box. -Mushroom Noodles: A free "birthday treat" from the restaurant. To be honest, this felt like they just gave us whatever was lying around in the kitchen. The noodles were too clumpy and the mushroom sauce was pretty earthy. -Lucky Koi Milk Pudding: My friend and I enjoyed this dessert which was also given to us for free on my birthday. It was creamy and not too sweet. The pudding mold design was also on point. -Na's Assorted Flight (Mini): This is good for 2 people to share. The desserts were pretty traditional in taste with a lot of bitter pieces. Not my cup of tea unfortunately. The ambiance was beautiful and the service was great! Overall, while I had some good food here, there were also some misses. The food seemed a bit inconsistent which is why I think they lost their Michelin star twice. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to dine here again, but if someone invited me I would. This is a spot worth the try though! read more
