The decor was giving peak Christmas vibes, the music was great with good variation to cater to everyone, and as my first time, it was incredible. I give 4/5 stars because the drinks are definitely mid and not good, but the music and general experience here made up for that.

The only good drink was their take on an espresso martini, the rest are a waste of money. My terrible rating is because of the people in the coat closet though. I'm going to preference this by saying I was able to attend an influencer event so we gave in our jackets and went to walk away when we were stopped and told that it actually wasn't free. Even though there wasn't a sign anywhere for pricing, my friend and I were fine with paying a few dollars to not have to hold our jackets but when the guy told us that it was $8 each jacket, we decided to take them back. We I asked for our stuff back, he looked at the other person working and out loud called us CHEAP. I proceeded to tell him $8 is not cheap and if he thinks that then he is crazy. How rude, if you're going to act like that to people you invited in for good content and I can't imagine how they would treat actual paying customers. There are a lot of other amazing holiday bars in the city, go to one of those instead.

We got curry rice bowls to-go a couple weeks ago for a quick and easy lunch while we worked from…read morehome. Everything was packaged neatly, with the curry in a separate container from the rice and katsu. P.CURRY RICE BOWL (PORK KATSU) - 17.50 The pork katsu cutlet was still pretty crispy by the time we started eating, and the pork was nice and thick, although it wasn't particularly juicy or tender. I'm very glad that the curry was in a separate container -- not because it would have made everything soggy, but because it was so salty. By the end, I barely made a dent in the curry. The katsu curry isn't exceptional, but it gets the job done. We were just looking for something quick and nearby, and Chef Katsu Brooklyn was only a 10-minute walk away, so it served its purpose.

I opted for the portobello rice bowl, which is served with a soy sauce-marinated egg and shishitos. The shishitos were pretty dry and flavorless, but the egg was excellent. I also loved the mushroom, but could have used a larger portion to go with the full serving of rice.

Service: The service is very quick and efficient. They bring your food as it gets ready and they also promptly take away any empty glasses/plates so there is a little bit of hovering around, but I guess that's a reasonable model for a popular place like that. Drinks: The drinks were honestly my favorite part of our meal! Each drink we got was not only crafted with care, but the attention to details was commendable. None of the drinks we had were hard and were very smooth on the palate. Food: We got the Chutoro Laab, Chilean Sea Bass Chakram Curry, and the Beef Cheeks Massaman Curry. All three dishes were mouthwateringly good! I couldn't decide which I liked more - they were all so fragrant and appetizing. Portions were perfect for the two of us - not too small nor large. Dessert: The Pandan Coconut Chiffon cake was like a russian doll, so many layers!! Pandan Coconut layer cake, Pandan pudding, Coconut meat, Salted Coconut cream topped with Toasted Coconut - all packed inside a fresh Young Coconut! Do not forget to eat the coconut meat after your are done with the dessert! Overall, I was completely blown away with the food, drinks and service and can't wait to be back!

I've probably tried half their menu but my favorites are the Zabb wings, the fried fish, the pork belly and crab aob woonsen. But I really feel like there's probably nothing you could go wrong with in the menu. They also have one of the best cocktails I've ever had- the punch drunk love. Trust me, order it! It's always a really good vibe in there as well. It can get pretty packed but I'm usually solo and grab a seat at the bar. The bartenders are always so nice and I've found myself chatting a ton with a couple every time I'm in there. The bar stools are a little uncomfortable and the bar area could use a bit more space. I'm usually elbow to elbow with other people but it's worth it for some of the best food I've ever had!
