Unfortunately, there were no specifically gluten-free options available and the gluten-free items were cooked in the same fryer as gluten-containing foods. One dish that was marked as gluten-free still contained soy sauce, but the waiter was transparent about it. Despite the challenges, the staff was very friendly and we were able to find a suitable meal in the end.

Spent $135 and was unsatisfied with quality. Only thing I can suggest is the Canton pork bao.bthe cheesey corn is definitely not worth the $24 for a side plate worth of corn a little garnish of bacon and spring onion and Korean bbq sauce. Place is a gimmick for their food although they have some awesome artwork. Service: Dine in

For the drinks, ask Dave to make you one of his specialty drinks, you can't go wrong. He made me a Woodford Reserve Whiskey drink that smelled like Quaker Oats apple and cinnamon oatmeal, and tasted so good, it would be easy to get drunk. The atmosphere in the place seems like you stepped off a Chinese street and into a street market, instead of coming from a small New Zealand town. We loved the feel of the place and all the different neon signs in the bar were fabulous too! As for the food, we ordered way to much, multiple bao buns, rice cake noodles, cauliflower, wontons, and the amazing fried chicken of which we had the black garlic, and the gojuchang with mango honey. Everything was delicious, but our favorites were the pulled pork bao, the rice cake noodles, and both of the fried chicken flavors we ordered which we had to make our last bites. Luckily we have some leftovers to eat tomorrow! Thank you Dave and Funbuns!
