A delightful treat right in the heart of Midtown! The fusion of Chinese and Cuban flavors was fantastic, with each dish leaving us excited to try the next. The service was top-notch, and the decor was stunning—definitely one of my favorite aspects of the place. I came for a work lunch with a group, and everyone loved it! While it’s a bit pricey for lunch, it’s well worth it.

Amazing ambiance and excellent service! The cocktails were $20 each—definitely on the pricier side—but they were delicious. The food was great, especially the fresh oysters—highly recommend them! The empanadas were fantastic, and the paella was flavorful. Overall, a wonderful experience, but just be ready for a higher bill.
