The birthday team of staff brought out those big sparkling candles on top of a complimentary non-alcoholic drink. Loud music & singing, exciting & super fun atmosphere. Our kids were thrilled with the surprises. While you only have an hour 45 minutes for the all-you-can-eat meal, most people get stuffed after an hour. Our server m.k. was pleasant and friendly. She was also very efficient and handled everything quickly. A BIG thanks to her. If you have never been to this place, I would highly recommend it. I'll be taking my other family members here very soon :)

My only note is that I would prefer more curry sauce for a more even sauce to rice ratio.

I made my own bowl and liked the topping options but the bases (vermicelli noodles, bok choy, and veg mix) and were underwhelming as was the teriyaki chicken. The best thing by far is the crispy pork belly which for a $2 up-charge you can have 3pcs. It also comes with a complimentary cup of broth which was surprisingly aromatic and flavorful. It's a large portion but not one I'd spend $20 on again.

I love the concept of this place (and the backstory of it being started by five college friends!),…read morebut sadly wasn't impressed with the execution. Came with my family and we ordered a smorgasbord of things, way more food than we could reliably finish between four people. We got the Seoul hot chicken bao buns, curry laksa, roti canai, chili crisp wontons, jerk wings, gochujang salad, edamame, nasi lemak, and one other dish whose name I can't remember at the moment (told you we ordered a lot!). One of the standouts for me was the roti canai; I liked the texture of the roti and the curry it came with was flavorful (though it's a shame that it arrived after all the entrees, despite it being an appetizer). The nasi lemak was pretty good too. I can't say any of the other dishes we had were particularly good or memorable. Not a place I'd be able to recommend for its food, unfortunately. To add insult to injury, the service felt quite lacking. It started off well: we were greeted really warmly by one of the chefs (he also seated us because there was no host present at the time). He explained the concept of the place to us and gave us a preview of a family-style prix-fixe option they offered. After that, however, all semblance of "service" disappeared. Our server took our orders and delivered them to our table, and that was it. Things arrived in a super strange order; one person got a single entree while the rest of us looked on, then finally more things started arriving, but the whole thing just felt chaotic and strange. There was no friendliness, no apology, no information shared with us throughout. Though we were told our server would tell us more about the family style option, he never did; when I finally asked about it, he said he didn't tell us because he figured we'd wanted to get cheaper stuff since it was happy hour. I can understand the thinking, but shouldn't that have been our decision? Can't help but feel like he was making an excuse to gloss over his mistake. Speaking of happy hour, I will say that that seems to be one of the perks of this place. Five bucks for a few bao buns or some wings is pretty good in this economy! That's maybe the only reason I could see myself ever going back after this experience. Too many better places exist that I'd rather repeat or try. I should note that I started this review with a 3/5, since nothing seemed egregious, but by the end realized it was really more of a 2/5 experience between the meh food and the bad service. Had one of those been better, it'd def be a 3/5. P.S. Random sidenote: The "veggie-ish" menu was a bit confusing at first. All the items on the list seemed to have no meat, except for one -- the Vietnamese chicken salad. We had one vegetarian in our group so it stood out to us as a strange grouping of things on the menu!

Appetizer platter is a good option if you don't know what to get. The panda crème brûlée was good, but I barely tasted the pandan. They might not have tables so I'd strongly recommend making a reservation!!

I couldn't say enough about the service, bartender / guide really helped us get through the extensive menu and drinks. The place seemed pretty lively for a Monday with lots of hustle and bustle. The entrees are a good size. I would say if you order a couple appetizers and split an entree that would be your best bet. The bar seem to be the best spot to sit for some people watching and to enjoy your meal although they were decent enough amount of high tops and booths.

Some of our favorite menu items include the sukiyaki shabu shabu, lobster roll, wagyu foie spoons, A5 Japanese Wagyu sandwich, Wagyu fried rice, toro sashimi and the matcha crepe cheesecake. What we really enjoyed about this place was the quality and speed of service. You could see the marbling in the buttery toro and fatty A5. We had an extra side tray to put all of our empty dishes. Highly recommend keeping an eye out on the tablet timer so you can constantly reorder once the queue clears. I'll definitely be back to try some of their à la carte menu items. The premium menu was plenty, but we did see diners order from the other menu.

There are two tiers to the menu that are priced at $44 and $69 per person. The menu offered a little bit of everything from Bao buns to their popular Mixian noodles. The restaurant's design was clean, chic and minimal.

Ordered the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Noodles like last time; overall it was solid, though the hard-boiled egg probably could have benefitted from a little more time in the broth, but it was near-closing, so not a big deal. Unfortunately, the service quality has ebbed since my last visit. My server, while outwardly calm and friendly enough, was eager to remind me of their imminent closure thrice during my meal. I eventually had to say "Yes, I'm aware" to ensure I understood. I suffer from heartburn and need to pace my meals, so this felt like a rather passive-aggressive "get out" which I didn't appreciate for the sake of my own physical health. Moreover, I asked at the end of my meal if I could apply a $5 off coupon I received for my birthday. The server told me that the manager has to be on duty in order to apply the discount code, and that they already left. I found this bizarre, having worked with Toast POS systems before, I know this isn't a difficult thing to train your staff on. This was compounded by the fact that I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for another employee, ostensibly an assistant manager, to apply it, and she wasn't even aware until I flagged her down. Again, solid fare; always love when I get to stop in to Yunnan for that reason alone, so I still recommend it. Unfortunately, I think the management should circle back on a few items with the staff in terms of service quality.
