I ordered the sweet potato caterpillar roll. And felt that it tasted a little bland, considering all of the different ingredients in it. I also had the eggplants bao buns.

Went on a Friday night and have been excited to try this place! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Service was…read moreexceptional with great recommendations. We sat outside because the inside seemed busy and a little noisy. The downside to this restaurant is the VERY high price of everything, so it would definitely have to be a special occasion type of place. We ordered a lot of things so I'm going to rank them in how much I liked them! I didn't take any photos except the dessert which was served on a platter because we got so much lol We ordered a lot of cocktails as well which were all very good. My favorite cocktail was the lychee one! 1) LONGEVITY CRAB NOODLES ($32): lump crab, garlic butter, toasted garlic, scallions - OUTSTANDING. We ordered two of them and even added shrimp. Buttery and delicious. You can't go wrong 2) CRAZY RICE ($29): shrimp, chicken, spicy ghost pepper sambal, cucumber, shallot crisps, crispy egg - Some of the best fried rice. I LOVED the heat kick it had to it, I think it really made the dish. 3) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - WAGYU ($26): sambal, chives, red chili, asian pesto - I thought I would like the spicy tuna one more but the meat was high quality and melty 4) PORK BELLY SINIGANG ($36): crispy pork belly, sinigang braised radish, sauteed spinach, seared tomatoes, tamarind broth, micro cilantro - You cant go wrong with pork belly! I don't like radish so I couldn't experience the full flavor, but I loved the meat 5) SPICY "TAIL OF TWO TUNAS" ($25): spicy tuna, escolar, shallot crisps - You can't go wrong with spicy tuna rolls and shallots. Great quality and loved the crunch. Simple but delicious - we ordered two. 6) TOM YUM SEA BASS ($58): chilean sea bass, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, baby bok choy, tom yum sauce, kaffir lime oil - I typically don't like sea bass but this was cooked perfectly and the fish was SO BUTTERY. No fishy taste at all 7) CHICKEN INASAL ($36): lemongrass, tomatoes, red onion, watercress, achiote glaze, chili lime vinaigrette, grilled lemon - This chicken has great flavor and was very juicy. I really enjoyed the watercress as well. Hit all the notes of savory and umami 8) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - SPICY TUNA ($26): masago, chives, sriracha, chili oil, serrano - Delicious but the wagyu one was better in comparison 9) OXTAIL POT STICKERS ($23) braised oxtail, caramelized onion jus, white wasabi cream - Really great flavor but wish it were a bit crispier. It all seemed very soft in texture 10) SPICY EDAMAME ($11): garlic butter, chili salt - very good but everything else was better and it's hard to compare 11) "RIDICULOUS" ($21) vanilla ice cream, ginger carrot cake, glazed walnuts, caramel - Tempura fried ice cream?!? Sign me up! Delicious 12) COCONUT CHEESECAKE ($19) coconut mousse, graham cracker crust, coconut caramel, berries - The texture was unlike anything I've had before. It was so creamy and melty. Delicious! 13) MOCHI ICE CREAM ($19) assorted seasonal flavors of ice cream, wrapped in rice dough - Chewy and yummy!

I was absolutey CRAVING fried…read morerice, and usually I'll drive to Kobe but it's about an hour round-trip after driving there, waiting for carryout, and driving back. I really wanted something closer, as I was already pretty hungry. I looked through about 10 different restaurants but for whatever reason didn't think they were a fit. Happened upon Mangosteen, and was pleasantly surprised at their great reviews, presentation, my interest in their version of fried rice, price, and ability to order online for pickup. So i gave it a try! Ordering online was super-easy and quick. I submitted my order and within 3 mins or so, had grabbed my keys to head over. They are about 10 mins away from me and I was lucky enough to score a parking spot within a block of their location, so got there within 20 minutes of original order time - and I was surprised to find my food already waiting for me! The young guy working the front desk was friendly, handed me the order and wished me a good night. The restaurant itself seemed nice and upscale, beautiful decor and ambiance, and great vibe! Had a gorgeous bar in the front. The atmosphere was great, and definitely left me with an interest to come back and check it out in person! I had ordered a Coke with the meal, and was caught off guard to find a plastic cup (with lid and straw) in a cute little carry bag. I have to say, I quite enjoyed the chicken fried rice - which was my main meal. It was NOT your standard/basic hibachi rice. It had a rich flavor, beautiful presentation (which does not come thru in the posted pics), and the chicken was so extremely tender you could break it apart with just a fork. Truly a delicous meal! To the extent I overate and had a stomach ache for a while afterwards, but that's a whole 'nother story, LOL. I don't usually award 5-star ratings based on one brief carryout experience, but this one was top-notch and left me wanting more! I absolutely recommend checking them out yourself. - 5 stars: Food - 5 stars: Restaurant/atmosphere - 5 stars: Customer service/ordering experience Not included in rating, but please consider: ability to find parking can be quite difficult in this area, just as a heads-up! Be prepared, and allow extra time to park.

Service was phenomenal (despite our drinks taking longer than usual to come from the bar). Their version of a pornstar martini was SO GOOD, loved how it was served with the little side car of prosecco. So fun. For apps, their version of a Caesar salad was life changing. Loved the hint of wasabi in the dressing. Already wishing I could eat this again. The wagyu wonton tacos were perfectly crispy and melt in your mouth. The miso cod was well cooked and had deep miso flavor. The duck entree was so tender with a ton of flavor. HIGHLY recommend getting the sweet potato as a side - seriously the best sweet potato dish I've ever tried. Absolutely wonderful dinner and I'm already excited to go back and try more food!

The food is always incredible (this being our 2nd visit), we ordered apollo fish for our appetizer, it was well seasoned with a bit of heat, coated in a lovely chili sauce, but still nice and crispy. For our entree we ordered Afghani chicken, with basmati rice and garlic naan. The chicken was in a warm spiced white sauce, it perfectly balanced the spicy fish, and theyre naan never disappoints. The amount of food was very good for the price, my partner and I split the food and even with our portion we ate there, we still had left overs for another portion each. Please give it a try !!

The chicken was cooked perfectly with a flavorful spicy kick, and the fried rice was well-prepared, making it a good dinner. Next, we tried American Choupsey, which we had high expectations for, but unfortunately, it was too sweet for our taste, which was a bit disappointing.

And Management observed and permitted it. Food and waiter was fine. Dining experience was unacceptable.
