My family and I came to The Bow room to celebrate my birthday. We LOVED it! We had such a good time :) A hello kitty speakeasy is always a good idea! Lucky for us the Irvine Spectrum is close to us so we were able to check it out. The cafe and bow room are super cutely decorated! Down to the little details like the chair legs were hello kitty themed. Super cute! The music was also a clubby bar vibe which was fun! The drinks were SOOOOOO cute! They were also super tasty and strong!! Typically at themed places the drinks aren't as good, but this bar tender can really make a good drink! They were strong and delicious! We also ordered the birthday cake on the menu and it was sooooo yummy! Service was amazing! Everyone was sooooooo kind and welcoming. They really made our experience great! It was such a fun time and now all of my friends want to go too! read more

This is definitely a very cute place. Tiny but cute. Also, I don't think anyone has said this but if you make an evening reservation know that they only serve drinks and desserts, no food. I was a bit sad and disappointed at this because I was hungry and I should have gotten food beforehand. The room is also very small. The desserts are prepackaged and bagged. I'm guessing for the apple pie à la mode, it is microwaved. The also automatically add the tip to the check. Which is a no from me. Overall, I'd come back but eat somewhere else beforehand. read more

Cute drinks, yummy desserts & Hello Kitty?! Who could ask for anything else honestly. This has been one of my favorite experiences I have had at a place yet. It was such a cozy speakeasy vibe, all of the staff were so nice and happy to show off all the cute items on the menu, it truly made it so much fun. The amount of pink was also so cute, if you're a Hello Kitty or Sanrio lover this place is a MUST! We got the Berry Kawaii and the Sanrio Surprise for our drinks. For the desserts we tried the tiramisu and the apple pie. I was honestly stunned at just how delicious the desserts were, especially the apple pie as it had that perfect buttery flakey crust and was served with ice cream. Definitely plan in advance with a reservation if you want to visit and you must be 21+ to enter, no exceptions. When you go there is also a one mocktail/cocktail order per person. read more

Cute spot for people who love hello kitty and drinks! I brought a visitor who loves Hello Kitty to the bow room for cocktail hour. I made a reservation out about 3 weeks in advance to ensure we have a spot. When I got there, there was really only 1 other table, it was pretty empty, but this place is great for large groups, date night, or small groups. They have a bar seating, a bunch of booths, and small tables. We came here for the vibes and were pretty flexible on what to drink, so we asked for the most theatrical drinks. They just launched the winter menu which we realized is exactly the Fall menu but with different titles. If you look at the recipe it's pretty much the same thing. I was honestly pretty disappointed in the recommendation, I got the berry Kawaii and it was definitely not theatric -- it was just a drink with the hello kitty stamp. The overall flavor was okay.. I didn't really taste much of the ingredients, as the strawberry gin was more overwhelming. My favorite drink was the Falling in Love, though this drink is mostly the foam on top. I felt like this one was the best bang for your buck. If you are looking for something to keep, the Picture Perfect is great because you get the polaroid photo as a keepsake. We ended up paying $5 for a picture and it didn't even come with any Hello Kitty frame (definitely not worth it). The other parties got the mocktails which they said was pretty good as well. Overall, fun experience but slightly overpriced. Everyone must order at least 1 drink. Also, when we came in the late evening, a lot of the pastry menu was not available. read more

Great spot for drinks and desserts while living your Hello Kitty Café dreams. You can find it at the Irvine Spectrum Mall. I had their seasonal fall apple mocktail, but it was a little too sour for me. The desserts were really tasty though. If you're a Hello Kitty fan, definitely come here. It's super cute inside. The staff is a 10/10 and were very informative and accommodating. read more

I made reservations to the Afternoon Tea service. The Bow Room is very cute. What you would expect from a Hello Kitty themed venue/cafe. Very on brand. Everything from the ceiling to the bathroom was Hello Kitty themed or pink. Cuteness overload (in a good way). It's pretty expensive being $60 per person. For adults it's more worth it, for kids, not so much. The food itself is just OK. The best tasting items were the quiche, the scones, and the desserts. The tea (summer peach) was good and would make a really good boba drink. Service was great. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Not sure if I'd go again for afternoon tea (with kids), but I'm really curious to try out their Cocktail service next time! Gotta get my girls together for a girls' night out. Reservations are highly recommended. I think you Might get lucky if you're solo or a party of two, but I'd recommend getting reservations especially if you're traveling to visit. I hope they open up a full service restaurant one day as well as a connecting store. That would make it 1000x better. read more

The Bow Room - Interior. SO CUTE! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

Came here in a group of 5; be sure to make a reservation and have your IDs ready to be checked at the host stand. The staff were extremely knowledgeable on the menus! My boyfriend and I ordered the strawberry cake and strawberry tart. Both were beautifully presented; the tart had a custard type of filling and while the frosting was thick, it wasn't too sweet. To drink, I had the Picture Perfect (not pictured- fun, light, refreshing) and Tarobly Cute (sweet, nutty). My boyfriend had the Kyoto Old Fashioned (smooth, classic) and the Let's Taco Bout Hello Kitty (smoky, warm). A super cute spot for a girls night out or a date! read more

Behind the locked doors under the bow in the Hello Kitty Cafe lies a beautiful Hello Kitty themed speakeasy. Aesthetically this is every girly girl's dream! The room is all pink from the floor to the ceiling. It's a dimly lit room with neon lighting accents. The bar in the middle is beautiful. The service was top notch. Our server, Sammie was so professional and treated us so well. She also was extremely knowledgeable too. There were sadly some things that I didn't like as much. I think this spot is very Instagram-able and so photoworthy, but needs improvements in the food and drink department. While I was excited to see they offer 3 mocktails, I had high hopes of ordering a regular drink and just substituting the alcohol for soda water. Sammie told me that at the cafe they run a "tight ship" and that wouldn't be allowed. The first drink I ordered came in the cute hello kitty cup, however, it didn't have a skirt or beads like all the alcoholic ones. It sort of felt like being punished for not drinking alcohol, honestly. Also, it was so sweet and not satisfying. I traded it for the Golden Apple mocktail and again, Sammie was very kind helping me out. This mocktail was lovely - but not really for $17! It was really just juice with a hello kitty logo. I also got the lemon tart and it tasted like toy food. It was hard and dry and I would not recommend it. The chocolate cake however was delicious! I also think there's a really big missed opportunity by not selling any actual food. If you call yourself a cafe, you should at least offer a salad, sandwich, something. If not, then it's a bakery! But seriously, you could have literally any type of food and add the hello kitty logo. That would be so cute! Overall, I spent $40 for 1 alcohol-free drink and a dessert I could barely eat. But, the photos are stinking cute! read more

Visited The Bow Room for a birthday celebration. It is every Hello Kitty lover's dream! The room is so cute and all pink! Every little detail down to the butter is Hello Kitty. There was also a bar that served the cutest themed drinks. The Bow Room is small which explains why reservations are always full. It is worth the wait! :) We did the afternoon tea service. It was a set menu which included a variety of items and choice of tea. Definitely worth the price for the experience and the amount of food it included. Service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly and frequently checked on our table. read more

It's Hello Kitty cute in here! This spot inside the Irvine Spectrum, this Hello Kitty-themed speakeasy is an adorable hidden gem!!! The bow-filled decor is playful and insta-perfect, making it a must-visit for HK/Sanrio fans. The interior is cozy yet cutesy. Cocktails are priced between $18 to $22, which is pretty reasonable for the experience. Each drink is thoughtfully crafted and often comes with a cute Hello Kitty twist. Whether you're here for the drinks or the vibes, it's definitely worth checking out! :) be sure to make a resy before hand read more

The Bow Room speakeasy is adorable. Our party of 7 came to their last reservation on a Saturday evening. We were greeted, sat, and served promptly. The ambience is pink, all a hello kitty fan can ask for. The drinks were good. One might think they would be light on alcohol but trust they were not. They were legit drinks. A friend order the tiramisu and loved it. We all tried different drinks and loved them all. From ambience, service and quality I will definitely come back. read more

The bow room is a separate room from the hello Kitty cafe in Irvine. Though it's inside the hello Kitty cafe, they only offer tea services during the morning/afternoon and cocktail hour in the evening. You need reservations for both. You can make reservations online. Making reservations for the tea party is easy if your party is under 7 people. Booking for parties of 8 and up is a little more time consuming. They don't get back to you in a timely manner and I was never told if after I paid my invoice if my reservation was finalized. As far as service when I'm there for my reservations, the staff is nice and friendly. They always make sure to see if you have allergies with any food items and always try their best to accommodate. I've been there twice for tea service and once for evening cocktails. I have no complaints. read more

We came to the Bow Room for a friend's birthday. Very cute place, but I'm unsure if I'll be back! From your reservation start time, you only have 45 minutes until your last call. It almost felt like we had to zoom through our first round to try anything else. We came for a birthday. They don't do anything extra...not a big deal! We got the birthday cake, and for being prepackaged, we really enjoyed it! It was $9, but four of us split it just fine. Cocktails are pricey, around $17-$19. The deals come in with the wine. They serve half bottles of wine for around $14-$16. Definitely get more bang for your buck there. The ambiance is SUPERCUTE as hello kitty would say, and perfectly pink. some of the glassware that the drinks come in (like my photo of the Mint to Be) are to die for. Definitely a place to come at least once! read more

We were lucky enough to get in to The Bow Room as walk ins. I have been wanting to go there for a long time. It is very cute and pink inside. The drinks are good, but a little sweet. I picked Falling in love for my first drink because it's served in a Hello Kitty Tiki mug! It was a nice seasonal drink. Bill had the picture perfect. It came with a Polaroid picture of us. My last drink was the Berry Kawaii because it had a picture of Hello Kitty in the foam. So cute! The only reason I wouldn't recommend it to everyone is because I think it is a little pricey, but if you love Hello Kitty like I do, it's a must do...at least once! read more

1 Star -- If I could give zero, I would. I've dealt with bad customer service before, but The Bow Room and Hello Kitty Cafe just set a new standard for how NOT to treat paying customers. A month ago, I started trying to cancel my reservation -- online, over the phone, and through email. I followed every hoop they made me jump through, yet here we are: the day of the reservation, and they still charged me. Apparently, their definition of "customer service" is ignoring you long enough to run your card anyway. The lack of communication, accountability, or even basic courtesy is astounding. Not once did anyone step up to resolve the issue, offer a solution, or show the slightest bit of concern. I can confidently say this entire experience has been a complete waste of time, energy, and money. Between the runaround and the blatant disregard for their guests, I can't imagine how they expect anyone to come back. If you're thinking of booking here -- don't. In no way, shape, or form is this worth it. read more

For all the hype around it, I would have to say this place was a big disappointment. There's something a bit depressing about the atmosphere, the service was not very good and the selection of treats and drinks was super limited. If you're going to have a speakeasy that is hard to get into, at least put a little more effort into customer service and making it a special experience. read more

My review of The Bow Room won't hurt Sanrio in the slightest, so let me say what I actually want to say here. (Review is for cocktail hours, not afternoon tea) 1. It's cute. You'll get some pictures out of it. That's what you come here for--and that's about it. 2. It's sweet. Everything. Everything is so sweet, haha. All the alcoholic drinks are essentially dessert and we had so many moments of "well maybe if we just let the ice melt--" lol. I would say that the drinks are a strong hit or miss for some. 3. The pastries don't taste... how they're advertised? An example would be the "Strawberry Cake" being mostly a vanilla cake with one strawberry on top and the "Lemon Donuts" tasting like regular donuts. The "Mama's Apple Pie" wasn't disappointing, but it does come out cold from the front display window. While the service is awesome, I think it's a good idea to set some lower expectations for Hello Kitty's cocktail room. With the drinks being so sweet already, I think it would've been nice if there were some savory bite options. I can see this being a great place to stop by after eating dinner in the mall for "something sweet," but I'm also not sure how feasible a casual "drop-in" would be since reservations are required. This could also just be a nice place to take friends or family from out-of-town (which was my reason for making a res). I could see the afternoon tea hours being a great idea for bringing kids, but I'm not entirely sure if I understand the sugar-rush cocktail hour concept for adults. read more

definitely a must go if you are a hello kitty fan! located in the back of the hello kitty cafe is this "speakeasy" that is reservation only. the decor is so cute, with everything being pink and hello kitty themed. the drinks were good but pricy and not strong. i had the tongue thai'd cocktail and it was yummy, with LOTS of coconut whip. i love that the straw is also a spoon. the berry kawaii was reallly yummy but such a tiny cup. the picture perfect cocktail comes with a polaroid photo, but the drink itself was too sour for my taste. you get an hour and a half to spend inside and the servers come around to let you know about last call. also, they automatically apply an 18% gratuity to the bill. overall a cute experience that I was glad go be able to do but i dont think i will be coming back. read more

Hi, if I could give negative stars for the service I would have. It was the worst experience of my life and I have been to a ton of places. We were treated like we don't exist. I asked few times for the corn nuts and was ignored. The server even brought it to all the new guests. To make matters worse, she took my ID. I have never ever given my ID at a restaurant. I don't get the reason of taking my ID. Oh and she was taking pictures of all the guests but us. Like we were invisible. I wanted to talk to the manager but we had dinner reservations. Yes the drinks were good. I am never ever stepping inside that establishment. read more

Super cute place! I came here to celebrate my birthday as they are by reservation only. Their bow room is separate from their main cafe, and had a swankier vibe to match the bar-like environment that stands apart from their bakery. I made reservations for the early evening when it wasn't too busy as the place is a bit on the smaller side, and it wasn't too busy or noisy. My mom and it tried four of their cocktails, but my absolute favorite was their Thai Tea cocktail. They also take a picture of you and your party for you to take home which I thought was a very cute plus. The only downside is that they have no appetizer menu or actual food, just bakery items from their cafe portion of the store. Overall, I would recommend this place for a cute date night or birthday celebration. read more

Every Hello Kitty fan needs to experience this atleast once! It's definitely on the pricey side, but you're paying for the experience. We went for my sister's birthday, and it was perfect--super Instagram-worthy. The drinks were stronger than expected (in a good way) and absolutely adorable. The pastries and cakes looked like they came straight out of a cartoon! The only downside was not realizing gratuity was already included in the bill--no one mentioned it, so we tipped on top and ended up spending more than we planned. At least the staff was well taken care of! read more

I wouldn't mind coming here again but honestly felt the experience didn't stand out as a 5 star to me. Drinks were fun and the ambiance was cute, but I found the desserts super mid. I do appreciate that they let us in after being late for our reservation. I will forever be grateful and A+ for service! I liked the drinks as well. It had some unique drinks that perfectly matched the ambience and was also cute! I loved how unique everything was. The only thing I disliked was the desserts. Sure the birthday cake was cute, but that's all it was. It was dry inside and wasn't particularly fresh. The pie tasted like the ones you can buy at Walmart for less than a dollar. Overall, it's cute, it's not bad. But I wouldn't come here for desserts. They give it to you in a box too which is a bit tacky in my opinion since you are technically dining in and paying tip (at least I hope). read more

I love speakeasies but Hello Kitty Cafe is more for people who love Hello Kitty than people who like speakeasies. If you want to have a cute looking drink and take pictures at a Hello Kitty Themed bar, this is the place for you. If you're looking for good cocktails, not so much. I came with a bunch of friends and got to try a lot of different drinks but none of them really stood out to me and they were all pretty pricey. The staff here are super sweet and accommodating though! If you want to try this place, I would recommend making a resy through their website. read more

This is my second time coming here, and I think it was better than the first. Love that it's actually a café so their espresso martini is actually delicious because it's made with fresh espresso. My friend drink was good as well, and the strawberry tart was delicious it had Bavarian cream in it. Our server was the sweetest. And of course, the restaurant was just the cutest pink and decorations. The first time we came we were kind of confused because we didn't know they told us one drink minimum. We misheard and thought they said one drink maximum. read more

If you're looking for one of the cutest looking cafes, definitely come visit! It's adorable and just screams Hello Kitty in a way that can be enjoyed by all. We went for a friend's birthday and only went to the nighttime Bow Room experience. Cocktail hour is a fun time. The drinks are actually not too pricey considering how much drinks are at any bar. I had the picture perfect and I recommend it to everyone. It is sweet, but not too sweet, and is an easy drink to sip. It also comes with a Polaroid of you and your party It was super cute and the servers are so sweet. They are attentive and help you with options for drinks (cocktail or mocktail) and tasty treats. My friends got the birthday cake and the lemon meringue tart. The designs were adorable! You almost don't want to eat them. Don't forget to make a reservation though! They do not take walk ins. read more

I took my niece here for her 7th birthday. I got lucky finding a reservation after two months of searching and being on the waitlist they had an opening last minute when I checked the day before. I was excited to surprise her because she loves hello kitty. When you get there, you have to wait in line to check in and be escorted into the bow room. Once inside, I was sad to see it was very underwhelming. I thought it would have more characters and fun toys but it's very small, about 8 booths and a small bar area with five seats. Two drinks are included in the price and they have a set menu, which I expected after my research online. The savory items weren't very good and I'd say if you are going with kids who are picky eaters, they most likely will not eat the savory snacks. The deserts were very cute and mostly good but overall I gave this place a 3 because of the presentation. The taste, atmosphere and price probably deserves two stars. I wouldn't recommend this place for how expensive it is and I was sad we did not enjoy it more. Also, I do think it sucks to have to pay 18% gratuity for only two people when most places it's for parties of 6 or more. read more

The bow room feels like such an exclusive experience, the bar itself is extremely instagrammable so make sure to take those photos! The staff is always amazing, everyone is so nice and helpful. I first started off with ordering their picture perfect drink, it's basically similar to a Moscow mule with popping boba! So delicious and it even comes with a Polaroid they take of you with the guest frame! The next drink I had was their berry kawaii. Funny thing about me is I'm neither a vodka or gin gal, it's always been tequila based drinks for me. However, the way the drinks here are crafted I would just try their whole menu at one point. The berry kawaii drink was my personal favorite, a gin based drink and even comes with a hello Kitty imprint on it. The drinks here are definitely a little on the pricier side, however the experience is so worth it. If you're looking to share a drink they even have a tiki option which is definitely bigger than any other drink on the menu. I will definitely be coming back, I have never had such delicious drinks the way I had this night. As a second timer here, I can't get enough and am looking forward to my next visit. Shoutout to the hello Kitty bar staff! You guys are amazing read more

I have been to The Bow Room for both Afternoon Tea (morning) and Cocktail Service (afternoon). Reservations can be made for either on Yelp, or you can enter the Hello Kitty cafe to order treats to go! There's only about ~7-9 tables in the restaurant so it's a very intimate dining experience. [AFTERNOON TEA REVIEW] All ages are welcome, and you get seated immediately after check in. TLDR; worth it to come once and experience the food, service and decor, but super pricey $65, auto 18% gratuity) - First course: you will get a strawberry and cream dessert. It's light and refreshing, and the strawberries are fresh! - Tea selection: each person will have their own tea to select. You can do hot (comes in a teapot) or cold (served in a 16 OZ cup) - Meal: it comes out on an adorable hello kitty shaped platter. It has a croissant with salmon, cucumber sandwich, scone, quiche, macaron, apple pie, and more. It is all typical afternoon tea foods - Dessert: you get a gummy when the check comes Overall, the desserts and decor were cute, but the food quality could be improved. With the high cost at $65 per person and automatic 18% gratuity regardless of party size, each item they bring out comes out to $10 each which is very steep. It's something I would only try once [COCKTAIL SERVICE REVIEW]: 21+ only, show ID at the door. TLDR; Cocktail service is more worth your buck - Once seated, the menu has a variety of alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and coffee drinks. Alcoholic drinks range from $18-25, while the non alcoholic drinks were around $15, and coffees were around $5.50 - All desserts are a la carte - Corn nuts are complimentary and come on the table - You have 75 minutes before your time is up - I got the birthday cake, and I had to wait 8-10 minutes for it to "become optimal temperature to eat" which might be fancy for "this cake was frozen before it got to your table. It's not fresh dessert, but it is cute read more

Friendly staff, our first time at this restaurant and what they suggested was delicious.. curry chicken

So let's talk about it. This place is ADORABLE. I'd been meaning to go here for such a long time & it randomly struck me to try to make a reservation. Luckily, there was a spot available same day & I snagged it immediately. Make sure that you are SURE you want to go if you're scheduling same day because you'll get charged $25/person for not showing up/cancelling! First off, remember the fact that this is in the Irvine Spectrum by the Ferris wheel so add that into your trip time because parking isn't fun at the Spectrum and it's NEVER fun on a Friday or Saturday (which are the only days that cocktail service is available) We arrived right at 5:00 so we waited in the Hello Kitty Cafe for someone to come out and check us in. They check ID, seat you, explain the process, & then take an ID to hold at the bar for your party. There must be at least (1) drink order to account for everyone in the party. Even if 4 people come and one person does not drink, 4 drinks must be ordered. Keep in mind that there are mocktails along with the alcoholic drinks so I think there's something for everyone! Of course E V E R Y T H I N G is pink, the best shade of it if we're being honest. There are a few stand alone tables but most are a part of a booth somewhere along the walls of the speakeasy. The bar even has a lit up Hello Kitty silhouette in the background, I love it. Everyone is SO kind, so patient, so honest with their opinions, & really make it a great time. I also want to note that we were seated next to a party of 5-6 having a birthday celebration. One of the people ordered the Picture Perfect & it literally comes with a polaroid of your group attached to it. They take the photo on a polaroid and tie it to the first drink that you order, it's super cute. Be aware that some of the desserts may not be available & some may take a bit of time as most are made to order! We ordered: - The Empress Kitty ($21) - Tongue Thai'd ($19) - The Bee Kind ($19) - Strawberry Cake ($10) - Cinnamon Doughnuts ($10) The Empress Kitty was SO good, you can taste the vodka but the elderflower really takes center stage & it's in the cutest Hello Kitty cup with a gold leaf crown, adorable. I finished it a bit quicker than expected but it was so good so I wasn't super upset about it (a little heavy on the ice though, I won't lie but what do I know?) My boyfriend got the Tongue Thai'd and he loved it! He loves a good Thai tea so I wasn't surprised with how much he liked it (if you're not a Thai tea fan, I wouldn't recommend) It's quite strong but so lovely, great flavor. The Bee Kind was the CUTEST take on a Bee's Knees with some added honey lavender syrup. It was perfect. It immediately caught my attention when I checked the menu because "honey" and "lavender" (especially together) are two of my buzzwords. Also loved the added touch of the engraved hello kitty face on the lemon peel, definitely my favorite of the three drinks. The Strawberry Cake! Oh my goodness, super super cute and so so yummy, I want to say the outside shell was like a buttercream? Honestly, doesn't even matter because it was lovely. The strawberry on top and the strawberry filling in between the moist cake was divine. THE DOUGHNUTS!!!! I've been dreaming about these doughnuts, I swear to you. Sometimes I get lost in a world of doughnuts during my meetings (don't tell my boss) because they are THAT good. They're made to order and come out to you so warm & fresh, I swear there's a bright pink aura that surrounds them. I really tried my best not to power through them but I haven't been tested like that in a LONG time! 1000/10, get the doughnuts. Get them. It's a bit pricey but I had a nice time so I absolutely think that it was worth it & plus you can walk around a bit afterwards if you're feeling up to it, I love a good walk after drinks & doughnuts! Great experience, highly recommend, & will definitely be bringing friends here in the future! read more

The experience at the Bow Room was delightful. The room itself is quite intimate with about 10 tables, most of them being for 2-4 people. The room is completely pink and you're greeted with a teacup with a pink hello kitty shaped sugar cube. The set menu is about $60, but comes out to be about $75 with tip and already included 18% gratuity. The finger foods were delicious, and especially with your choice of tea, you get pretty full by the end of it. I'm not sure if I'd pay that much to go a second time, but definitely a great experience to try! The staff was very friendly as well! read more

Impromptu visit from San Francisco while visiting for nieces bridal shower for the weekend. Tried to get reservations but all booked (no surprises) however was informed that they do take walk ins if available. My niece inquired personally with the Alyza who was in charge of reservations and she so kindly told her to come back at 5 pm when they open and she will do her best to accommodate. So we did and Alyza let me and my sister know that we will be priority walk- in as soon as she lets all reservations processed and in the venue! We got in!!! Super happy and excited! Got seated at a table and was greeted by cute Kaylie/Kayley who was super friendly and explained all the drinks and gave us some of her favorites and recommendations! We ordered the "falling in love" and peppermint cocktail per her recommendation and it did not disappoint! We also ordered the strawberry cake and asked for our complimentary corn nuts ( have to ask for them). The interior was exactly what you would want any hello kitty venue to look like. Cute HK cocktail cups, cake box, pink utensils. The cake had little cute red HK chocolate bites. The cake was delicious and enough to share. Don't let the size of the cake deceive you. You are a "friend"'once you enter the HK bow room and everyone is a "friend". The bathroom is also HK and adorable with the wall oapoer and vanity mirror!
