The decor and food were acceptable when it was a Chinese restaurant, but what they are doing now is certainly not an improvement. This was my third visit, since it's in my neighborhood, but it will be my last. The telling sign is that each time I've been there, I was the only customer; during my second visit, there was even a half-eaten meal left on a table that had never been cleared! The food is passable, but the waitress struggles to describe it. She also doesn't make good drinks, despite the menu featuring a vibrant cocktail list. On my second visit, the waitress claimed she couldn't serve drinks because she wasn't a bartender.

The sushi rolls were beautifully presented and flavorful, but they need to improve the sushi rice, and the rolls were smaller compared to other sushi places. The service was occasionally slow, though the staff was friendly. The ambiance is pleasant and quiet, but it felt a bit dreary—some soft music would definitely enhance the atmosphere. All in all, it was a lovely dining experience, and I would definitely return.

The decor and food were good when it was a Chinese restaurant, but their current concept is not an improvement. This was my third visit to the restaurant since it is in my neighborhood, but it will also be my last. I noticed that each time I dined there, it was empty and on my second visit, I saw a half-eaten dinner left on a table that was never cleared. The food is decent, but the waitress is unable to provide detailed descriptions. Additionally, the waitress is not skilled at making drinks, even though there is a diverse cocktail menu available. On my second visit, the waitress explained that she could not serve drinks because she was not a trained bartender.
