Dining With Us
Our dishes are designed to be shared, with portions best enjoyed around the table. Rather than following a traditional appetizer-to-entrée format, plates will come out as they are ready from the kitchen, allowing the meal to unfold naturally. We encourage you to settle in, enjoy the flow of the evening, and order in a way that feels right for your table.
We offer both indoor seating and patio dining, with every outdoor table placed next to a heat lamp for comfort. Our restaurant is first come, first served. Once we begin a waitlist, you are welcome to relax by the fire pit in our patio waiting area or take a walk nearby, and we will text you when your table is almost ready. For parties of 6, we encourage you to call us during service hours so we can best assist.
Our menu rotates often and reflects the small-batch, craft-driven way we cook. We are always excited to share the Taiwanese flavor sensibility we love — layered, thoughtful, and rooted in hospitality. Chef Tony’s cooking is especially inspired by Taiwanese roadside banquet tradition, and we hope each visit gives you a chance to experience a little of that spirit.
Kitchen opens from 5 pm to 9:30 pm. Dinning room open all the way to 10:00~10:10. Large party reservations of 8 guests and more may be accommodated if capacity permits.
Lookking forward to serve you!
