Over the 2.5 hours of dancing , the DJ refused to play any of the music we requested . Even though we were the only customers dancing . Mr. DJ , had no idea how to read the crowd or how to mix music ( unless it on the same number of beats ) . The lounge was half full and would assume it is doing well ? However with a different DJ who would play to the crowd , could fill the dance floor which in turn bring more people and money into the business. Unfortunately, you have lost 5 costumers , that will share our experience with other potential customers. P.S - after speaking to others about our experience, they shared similar stories.

This is my first ever yelp review. The worst business establishment I have been to. I would give…read morethis place a zero star review if I could, but unfortunately that is not an option. The staff members were openly hostile. Specifically the bouncer. She was not wearing anything that clearly marked she was a staff member, she looked like any other patron at the bar. It didn't seem like there was anyone there to check our IDs. When we walked in, she screamed at us for ID. Other staff members were also extremely unfriendly. It was uncomfortable, the staff members were talking about us and staring at us the entire time we were there. We left shortly after arriving because if this treatment. Beyond the behavior of the staff, I noticed how dirty the entire establishment was. The bar is only lit by neon lights, because they don't want you to see how disgusting the floors and surfaces are. I saw several large bugs crawling around. A terrible cigarette stench permeated the atmosphere. Truly awful.

The room has a high-energy, lively vibe without ever feeling overwhelmingly loud, and you can tell why the chef earned a James Beard nomination. You definitely need a reservation; they have a few walk-in spots, but they go very fast, so you will want to get there right when doors open if you do not have one booked. The beverage menu is very well done, with great cocktails and thoughtful mocktails that felt just as crafted. For food, our starters set a high bar; the pork buns, pickles, and octopus were all flavorful and well prepared. The ramen itself was delicious and hits the spot in the Alaska weather, with deep, tasty broths and bold flavors throughout. The Dark Horse was especially good. We did not have room left for dessert, but the savory side of the menu more than delivered.

We made a dining room reservation about a week ahead for 6:30 PM on a Thursday, but the place was packed and we still waited about 20 minutes for our table. We started with the Scotch Tamago and Whisky Pork Buns. The buns were soft and pillowy with crisped pulled pork, pickled cucumber, and candied chili. The pork had a firmer, almost pork-sung-like texture, and the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors were a great combo. I also really liked the scotch tamago. The center was jammy and custardy, with a crisp exterior. For ramen, we had the Dark Horse. The broth was deep and rich with a little heat, and the noodles had a nice springy texture. It was a bit salty for me, but still very flavorful. The standout was definitely the Miso Baked Alaska. I mean, when in Alaska, you kind of have to get baked alaska at least once. This one was worth it. The toasted fluffy meringue, cold sweet cream ice cream, soft kinako cake, and salty-sweet miso caramel made for a really good mix of textures and flavors. Easily the best thing we had on the trip. Service was great. The atmosphere was lively and fun, though definitely pretty loud.

Food took maybe 10 minutes not long at all. I got the steak frites. Again the fries were not crispy at all. The steak was good, perfectly medium and I couldn't see the sweet bbq sauce on it but could taste it. The dish is not worth $38 though. I'd rather get a baked potato or mashed potato's than fries for it to be that price. Steak was good but nothing amazing. No ad ons for it. It was pre cut into slices. Did t care for the kale salad it came with either. The fresh horseradish sauce was good though. I also got the frankenberry cocktail. They are very small too.
