Dinner was superb, ingredients are of great quality, the whole team of chef and other staff are all friendly. Each dinner course was presented with clever mix of aroma, flavor, creativity, fun, and each one was visually-stunning. This team of chef 's passion for cooking great food together is so strong, you could taste it in the food. All 8 guests (me included) were seated at the same long beautifully-decorated table, next to an open kitchen that equipped with high quality cooking appliances. We were welcomed to walk into the open kitchen to watch the chef preparing our food. Overall, it was like having a private dinner house party hosted by chef friends. While enjoying amazing food, we also made new friends with other dining guests. I enjoyed this interactive evening very much, and I will recommend this to my friends and family.

Thumbs up to Cafe 949 (great lobster and garlic noodles) and MJ's Bellychon Basket for excellent lechon, Daddy's Catch for great dusted fries and lemonade, Molly Kitchen for grilled octopus, HGG Tanghulu for interesting sugar glazed fruits on a stick. Thumbs sideways for New England Seafood for lack of flavored oysters, and Bonanza Bakery and Cafe for creepy realistic animal shaped mousse cakes. Thumbs down for Kanto Filipino Street Food for chewy (not in a good way) fried chicken skin (old and rubbery probably leftovers from the previous day) and lack luster flavorless lechon. Overall 626 is an experience too good to pass up even though some foods are a disappointment. Atmosphere here is great, service is excellent! Just be choosy when making your selections. There were more to tastes we wanted to try, but our bellies and take home bag was stuffed.

They would be even better with milk. But great and quick service and such a different sweets dessert. Definitely want to check out their ube milk tea on day!

Man nailed the decor for sure I wish I got more pics but the place was crowded and no one wants to be rude and take pics of people surrounding the area. They had benches with cute pillow decor and cute theme accessories. The menu is looking thru viewfinders! So cute! The drinks prices ranged but mainly 18 each. The music is 80's. The servers are in 80s outfits. They have shot skis. They also have Snow which fall (aka bubbles) about every 30 mins I think. It is timed not too sure on that. The searing is small indoor the event pop up area but many outdoor places and some indoor. The bathrooms have a code. Just ask for it. The decor of Christmas is indoor seating area. The Ski lodge had Amazing decor!! Great Hype here! Loved it! We did t make reservations but we still were able to be in. Also feel bad for the guests at the hotel since we are in the middle of it.

A friend put this ski-lodge Christmas pop-up on my radar, and after seeing all the adorable videos…read moreand photos, we came to check it out around 7pm on a Thursday and getting a table was easy. Within minutes of walking in, a group of 8 lined up for a ski shot at the bar: snow machine blasting, everyone cheering, so much fun and yes, I filmed it for them. This place looks even better in-person than online, I did not feel catfished by the online posts I saw of it. The whole place is a vibe. The decor hits festive and fun without sliding into tacky. Even though it's technically outdoors, the heaters are no joke, you could show up in a skirt and t-shirt and be perfectly comfortable. Whoever is in charge of this heating situation, you nailed it! Junior was our bartender and he was fantastic, friendly, and quick. Now, the drinks: The Bigfoot is basically a dessert disguised as a cocktail. It comes topped with this warm, doughnut-like block drizzled in chocolate. Easily my favorite of the night. The Snow Bunny leans lighter, not too sweet, and the cute little "ears" it comes with are such a fun touch. We also tried the Not-So Shirley Temple, and I slipped in a glass of red wine between all the festive drinks. For food, we ordered the tosti, mushroom bisque, and fries, and everything was good. My only gripe: they close at 10pm, which feels early for a place this fun. Wish they kept the party going later because the energy here deserves more runway but Graceland (speakeasy inside HQ gastropub) is just 1 min walk around the corner, def recommend going there to keep the party going for another hour! Their Xmas decor is fire. Overall, a festive, cozy, high-spirited stop. Absolutely worth coming back, especially for another Bigfoot.

There were a few featured items that seemed to be what most people were ordering. I went with the flow and ordered one of the top items, the Ma Hu Beef Noodles. They were definitely interesting, as the flavor profile wasn't something I had experienced before. I'm no noodle connoisseur, but it was easy to tell they were fresh. They had that lighter, slightly chewy texture that stands out compared to the usual. On a random weekday they had a good crowd for lunch, mostly office types from the surrounding buildings. It wasn't hard to get a table, but the food did take a bit longer than expected to come out. Pricewise you aren't looking at a bargain, but it's not unreasonable. I imagine parking might be difficult if it is more crowded as there are a limited number of spots in the parking lot and it has a funky one-way design. Overall this is a decent lunch spot if you're nearby and something different from the norm. Four solid stars.

With the unpleasantries out of the way, this is a great little cozy sushi spot! Fresh fish, clean smell, plump and tender rice, and a friendly and attentive chef if you sit at the bar. They offer an 8 piece + hand roll or a 10 piece omakase (chef's choice) that I have rarely seen offered at lunch. I loved it! A great selection of fish and thoughtful presentation as the chef guided us on which pieces were prepared to be eaten as served and which pieces could use soy sauce. Great little spot.
