8 East Reviews

The food was a four.The service was a five. Pad thai and dan dan noodles were good. Waitress was on top of drink refills and very attentive.

Nothing to write home about. Wouldn't go back. Overpriced. For a big brand new hotel there are very few dining choices.

Great food, nice atmosphere, great service, good price. We shared a assortment of small plates, and especially enjoyed the green beans, fried rice and dumplings

My wife and I were staying near by and decided to try this place based on other reviews!!! We were very happy all the reviews were correct. The food and service was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. I wish we lived in Vegas just so that we could eat here all the time. We will be back on our next trip!!!!

Go with friends - recruit strangers. Eat everything on the menu! We had the lobster rice and lots of yummy drinks!

We had great service and excellent food. Some of their dishes are very different and certainly worth coming back for. Our favorites were the Brisket Fried Rice and the Lamb Lollipops.

The Las Vegas Strip has long been known for its cuisine & craft cocktails. Well there's a new kid in town, downtown that is. The new Circa hotel on Fremont Street is adult only (21 & up) and is home to some of the finest dining & cocktails you'll find anywhere in the World. Specifically, Daniel Coughlin has created an Asian Fusion experience called 8 East that is both delicious and a great atmosphere. On my last visit, bartender Mark made me a 'Rosemary Smash' AND their signature 'One Night in Hong Kong' craft cocktails. Both were excellent tasting as well as having a fair amount of alcohol (many places will water down their cocktails). You can also get 3 separate Asian Whiskey flights or if you prefer sake tastings. All in all, the food is excellent, the drinks & atmosphere will be well worth your time whether you're staying on The Strip, downtown or anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley !!

The is the best Asian food we had during this trip. Made the reservation for dinner on a Sunday, but it wasn't very busy. We were seated right away. The waiter was friendly and professional. The food took longer than I expected to come. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The Dan Dan noodles was really good. Both duck rolls and pork belly bun were delicious. The chicken skin popcorn was OK for me, but my daughter liked it. If I visit the downtown again, I'll eat here again.

Inspired by metropolitan Asian food markets, 8 East is Chef Dan Coughlin’s cutting-edge take on Pan-Asian cuisine. Savor sharable dishes like GaPow basil chicken pot stickers, dumplings, wontons, skewers and steaks. Then take your flavors to the next level with Coughlin’s signature Chinese, Szechuan, Shangdu and Thai sauces.

Came here with a friend for dinner one evening while in Circa. We didn’t have to book and got a table straight away. They have a good menu and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic I really can’t fault it. I’m definitely going back again and can’t recommend it enough. It’s also very reasonably priced.

Located in Circa. Ricardo was our server and we chose what he recommended. Brisket Fried Rice, Sizzling Noodles, Sizzling Shrimp, Short Rib Dumplings, salt/pepper chicken wings, pork belly bao and green tea tiramisu. All delicious and tasty. I like the Sizzling Noodles the best. Price - you are in Vegas. Service - Ricardo is the best. Decor - it was okay but I didn’t go here for the deco. Very clean place too.

My cousin recommended this restaurant. I didn’t have a reservation but I was quickly seated. Service was friendly. I had the ramen—delicious.

My husband and I stayed at Circa and ate here on a whim, and I’m glad we did! The dumplings and dan dan noodles were excellent! Our server Jerry was friendly and attentive. One of the best parts (next to the food and service) is the fact that it’s moderately priced. This was the best meal I had in Vegas - check it out!

food was decent here I like the ramon and the tea was very taste Not bad place but you cant eat there everyday

I can't believe that writing this review slipped me (we dined in January) cuz it was sooooo good! We just stayed at Circa for the first time last week and walking past it jogged my memory. We were a party of four, two had eaten here numerous times, so we sort of took their lead. First, our Waiter was great - helpful, but didn't hover. When we began ordering glasses of the same wine, he was quick to point out that a bottle was the most cost effective choice. We were so busy deciding on food that we failed to do the math. We ordered a great selection to share - Salt and Pepper Wings, Shortrib Dumplings, Green Beans, DanDan Noodles and the Brisket Fried Rice. Hope I didn't leave anything out! Each and every item was beautifuly presented and delicious!!! The rice was everything I dreamed it would be!!! My only negative is, the noodles included huge pieces of broccoli and with it being chopsticks cuisine with no cutlery on the table, it was a bit awkward. Next time I'll simply ask for smaller pieces. Trust me - when you walk past 8 East and it smells Heavenly, it IS!!!

Really enjoyed the food. Ate here on both of our days we stayed at the Circa. Highly recommend! Our favorite were the Pork Bao and Brisket Fried Rice.

We stumbled upon this place on accident. BEST ACCIDENT!! The pork belly bao and the brisket fried rice are amazing! Food comes out in a blink of an eye and is made in an open kitchen. Cozy cool vibe to the place. The staff both times made us feel like we were old friends. Had the Asian tiramisu for dessert and that was delicious as well. I can't say enough good things about this place!!

One of mine and my partners favourite restaurants during our entire holiday out to Vegas. 8 East is a welcoming, really reasonably priced and delicious spot offering fantastic Asian tapas dishes. There brisket fried rice and pork belly bacon was some of the nicest food I’ve ever eaten. Looking forward to returning upon our next trip to Sin City.

I had been here once with a group. We mostly had small plates, and everything was really good. Today I returned just to grab a quick take-out meal. The Dan Dan Noodles sounded good: “stir fried and tossed with a Szechuan sesame and peanut sauce”. The noodles had an incredibly strong black pepper taste, so strong that nothing else could be tasted in the dish. I like pepper, but this was ridiculous. The dish was pretty much inedible. Such a disappointment. The only high point was that the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Shocking customer service - we were a party of 13 (family from UK, Canada and USA, joining together after many years to celebrate each other. We had asked the waiter to split our bill by country. The waiter forgot to take one of our party’s order, even though we were all present when the waiter was taking out orders. The family member whose order was missed, waited for the waiter to come back and take his order, and when that didn’t happen, he got up and found the waiter to place his order. Apparently, the late placement of this order(which was due to the fault of the waiter) resulted in 2 members of our party not receiving their order. All other family members had their meals which all went cold whilst we were waiting for the missing orders. In the end, the family members who did not get their meals, insisted that the rest of us go ahead and eat because our food was getting cold. So, ultimately, 2 members of our party did not receive their meals and those that did, ate it cold. When the bill arrived, I complained about the situation and asked for the service charge to be removed. The manager (after arguing with me ) said he would remove the service charge from only one of the 3 bills. He took away one of the bills ( which I presumed he was going to amend to remove the service charge) - however, he returned with 3 security guards who accused me of not paying the bill I explained the situation, but they insisted the service charge was mandatory. In the UK, you pay service charge if you are happy with the service - we were not happy with the service and this restaurant couldn’t handle it. The manager called security to ensure the service charge was paid even though he already agreed to remove the service charge from one of the 3 bills. Unbelievable

I arrived Sunday evening around 7:30. Place was busy but not packed. I was seated at the far end of a thin bar far from any other patrons ( couples were at wide bar closer to bartender). Smiling waiter took my order, delivered my beer. Another smiling server delivered my food, not asking if I needed anything else.... like maybe chop sticks and maybe a porcelain soup spoon and hey, what about soy sauce? No one checks on me so I get up and get what I need ( tacky in a nice restaurant.). Food was fantastic. Cooks were working hard. I noticed some cooks had their hair covered, others not ( dont know what current regs are). All in all, a fantastic restaurant but service could have been better. Just because a woman is dining by herself, doesn't mean she shouldnt be checked on and treated like couples.

I love Asian food .. and this did not disappoint! All of the dishes we ordered were delicious.. but the best by far was the crispy chicken skin .. honestly amazing !

I went here with BFF for dinner. Eeach of us had $50 Circa food money to use, and use it we did! This was an amazing meal. Service was also excellent. This is a very small restaurant, with an open kitchen about 1/3rd of the size of the restaurant. The food came out as soon as it was cooked. We shared everything family style. We ordered butter mushrooms, salt and pepper wings, sizzling shrimp, shrimp fried rice, and pad thai. There wasn’t a bad dish. Best were mushrooms, wings, and sizzling shrimp. Will definitely be back.

There’s a parking lot across the street from Circa and then you take the bridge to cross over. Takes you immediately on the second floor where 8 East is located. We got seated right away and ordered a bunch of items to share. It came out super quick. There’s a long bar and behind the bar is the kitchen. We shared among 3: -Pork Bella bao: came in two baos for $14 Had Cucumber pickles, caramelized pork belly. -Chicken yakatori ($8): 2 skewer thigh meat with a kick of jalapeño sauce -Crispy Pork belly bacon ($14): slowed cook for 6 hours, semi dry and was crunchy. It came with tamarind dipping sauce which can also be mistaken for the Filipino mang thomas sauce as it almost taste the same. -Cumin Lamb chops ($15): basic lamb chops seasoned with salt and pepper and cumin. I’m not a fan of gamey taste but I tried a piece and it wasn’t gamey. It actually needed more flavor. It was bland. -Duck roll: it’s like a thick slice of one inch burrito cut in 4 pieces. It’s small for $14 but very flavorful. -Popcorn chicken skin ($12): my least favorite but my bf loved it. It’s just crispy fried pork rinds (chicharrones). I don’t like the part with the chewy meat, I just like the crispy part. For drinks I got Coconut Breeze beachside it was sweet and refreshing with a taste of alcohol. Also got the Purple Spring Raw Puer tea which was oolong tea and the server said it’s a hit or miss and let us try the pot. If we didn’t like it then we can switch it out. My friend doesn’t like the earthy herbal oolong taste so we switched to Sunrise Keemun Black tea. They also serve whiskey flights that I would to try next time.

Visited here for dinner one evening after exploring the impressive Circa hotel, we had heard news that 8 East was very good. After a short wait, we were seated and introduced to our very friendly waiter. The restaurant has a good design with an open plan kitchen - the menu has a lot of choice and we fancied quite a few dishes. We opted for a selection of Appetisers including Butter Mushrooms, Crispy Pork Belly Bacon and Short Rib Dumplings. These were all very tasty, except the Butter Mushrooms which were just a dish of bland mushrooms and not worth the $12 price tag! For mains we opted for Brisket Fried Rice and Chicken Dan Dan Noodles – the Brisket Fried Rice was INCREDIBLE – probably one of the best rice dishes we have ever eaten! We loved our authentic experience in this restaurant, and we would highly recommend this to others who are a fan of Asian flavours and cuisine! Service was also top notch and some of the best service we had on our 2-week American road-trip. We just wish we could make the Brisket Fried Rice at home!

Best find ever! Stopped in the Circa to check out the new casino. Heard good things about the new restaurant, 8 East, so decided to give it a try. Such amazing food and excellent service and ambience. We wanted to try pretty much everything on the menu but restrained ourselves and relied on our server, Javier’s recommendations. We started with the short rib dumplings with horseradish sauce. So so good. Juicy, flavorful bites of perfection. Next we had pork belly bao. Again. Delicious. Next we had the Szechuan pepper and salt wings. So simple yet so so perfect. Crunchy. Flavorful. Ended with the highly recommended brisket fried rice. Best fried rice I have ever had. Will be dreaming about this stuff for a while. Javier and the rest of the staff were so helpful. Food was amazing. Such a treat!

The place is hidden upstairs in a corner of Circa. The food was a surprising delight. We loved everything we tried. We just got a bunch of apps to try and none of them were bad. All fantastic. The best one was the Mapo Tofu. Definitely get that!

Visited during evening to Freemont Street. Had not booked - no problem. Great service from start to finish and the recommendations from our server were spot on. Lamb and Duck were sooo good. For dessert the Honey loaf was memorable - easily shared between three. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I stopped in here for a late lunch and had a nice time. 8 East is located inside the Circa Resort on the second floor and very easy to find. This restaurant specializes in small plates to share. We split a crispy pork belly bacon, steamed ginger chicken dumplings, steamed short rib dumplings, and the butcher's cut of the day which was Australian wagyu beef. The dumplings were a little dry but the filling inside was very good for both. The pork belly bacon was good and the wagyu beef was amazing. It's market price and not cheap, but well worth every penny. Overall the food was good and there is so much we wanted to try that we'll definitely be back again.

The food was delicious and our waiter provided great service. Located in Circa. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Asian food.

Great food! We had their Ramen. It was a beef base with lots of beef and a variety of mushrooms and vegetables. We also had blackened lamb chops for our appetizer. Very good also!

4th time eating here. Must go to place every trip to Vegas. Amazing flavor. Try the Dan Dan noodles and the fried chicken skin.

We heard good things from trip reports posted on Las Vegas Message Board so we decided to give it a try. It’s lively and very casual. We decided to eat at the bar to enjoy watching the chefs doing their thing. We had the brisket fried rice and short rib dumplings and chicken yakitori. All were amazing. Service was stellar and super friendly. 8 East is a little gem.

Food was delicious!!! So much flavor!!! And the service was on point. Dustin employee number 245011 (😂 I thought this was funny because we had to ask his name it wasn’t on the check)

Folk's my son and friend came across this place while walking around during lunch time, so we decided why not try it. The food was delicious and the service was good as well. We visited this place during the pandemic and not all places were open, but we were happy to have stopped by and try it out.

Very excited with the new restaurants in Circa, including this one. The menu offers several different dishes prepared freshly before you. I loved the shrimp and bok choy. Service was a little harried but attentive. Happy Hour from 3pm to 5:30pm provided nice price reductions on several items too.

Not worth the hype at all. We went in for lunch and was greeted and seated quickly. However, without even a chance to look at the menu, our waiter came over to try to get our order and told us that the kitchen does not wait the food in order, everything will come out as it comes. Okay? Weird. We thought this was a classy place, not a fast food restaurant. Anyways, We ended up ordering whatever the waiter recommended because he didn’t give us enough time to look at the menu. We got three appetizers, a ramen, and one of their signature brisket fried rice. The food wasn’t even good, and I couldn’t even tell you about the third appetizer because our waiter forgot to put the order through. Our waiter was terrible at servicing us even though the restaurant was practically empty. Not only has he forgot about one of our appetizer, he also check on us only ONCE right when we got our food (we didn’t even get to try the food when he came to check on us). So this place was a no from me and my family. We love Circa, but we won’t be coming here anymore. You should skip this place too if you love good food and good service.

Every bit of food was wow and so cheap! the lamb lollipop are a must try , the staff are amazing if visiting Vegas you must go to 8east !

This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. Last visit, my hubby loved it, but I wasn't a fan. We decided to try it again. This time I loved it. Hubby liked it. We had the short rib dumplings, popcorn chicken skins, cumin lamb lollipops, sizzling shrimp, brisket fried rice, and dan dan noodles. My faves were the chicken skins and shrimp, hubby's was the lamb. Dumplings and fried were also very good. Least favorite was the dan dan noodles. But, we ate just about everything. Overall, very good!

Everyone in our group loved this place & agreed best meal of our trip. Delicious food- very flavorful- we loved everything we tried. Cucumber salad, stir fried green beans, sizzling shrimp, chicken & beef skewers, brisket fried rice, steamed dumplings, sizzling noodle & dandan noodle- big win!

We hit this place up every time we come to Circa. It’s a winner. Always delicious food and friendly and quick service. Very flavorful and everything we have ordered has been very good. Brisket Fried Rice is fantastic. We also enjoy the pot stickers every time. They do it up right here - every time. Never had a bad experience. The food is always pretty great and the staff is always very welcoming. It’s clean and quick and they offer a great price point. All hard things to find these days… Go enjoy it! You’ll be glad you did! 😋

First time eating here and on the recommendation of travel Ruby on utube. When we arrived we sat next to group from hawaii who were also there first time. So they were recommending what we should have also. We went with the brisket fried rice which I couldn't recommend enough and also had sizzling prawns and pork belly again would highly recommend. If you are in freemont Street, or the circa, or vegas in general I would suggest that you visit this restaurant at least once.

I love noodles, and we always hit at least one spot on any trip we make to Vegas. This spot was exactly what we'd hoped, great food and better service. We ordered a lot of food and tried most every dish I think. Everything seemed truly authentic, flavors were amazing. The Sizzling and Dan Dan noodle dishes were my faves, but the ramen bowl was equally as good. The brisket fried rice hit the spot along with the garlic shrimp dish. We had a great time here and this will be a top spot for us in the future.

This place is located inside the Circa Casino and Resort. Very cute space, friendly staff. We did not have a reservation, they seated at the bar which is great. We got the chicken ginger dumplings >>> absolutely loved them. The sauce was just perfect. Also got the pork belly boas, two in one order. It was good, however, not as great as some of the marinated version. The pork dan-dan noodles. That is the only one that fell short of expectation. Dan dan noodles are supposed to be full of flavor. While this one looked very pretty and we enjoyed all the vegetables, it lacked the spiciness and flavor. They should have just called this vegetable noodles.

Don't get me wrong, the food here is very good, the service was friendly and prompt, and the prices were reasonable. Given all the reviews, I just expected more, I guess, so it was a letdown. We liked the chicken fried rice more than the brisket fried rice which had too much of a sweet taste for our liking. We also had the sizzling noodle dish with pork and all of us liked it even more than the fried rice. The chicken skewers came with a very hot sauce which was good, but we would not order it again. This restaurant does not have much atmosphere, which we didn't realize until we got there. It seemed more like an upscale diner in terms of the tables and chairs. I only gave it 4 stars because there are other downtown restaurants that have it all.

We went here last week and were all very impressed. The food and service was fantastic, good choice of Asian food of very good quality. We all found something that we liked, even ‘Fussy Pete’ lol Reasonably priced too! Would return in a heart beat.

Highly recommend the "Vital Vegas" style Brisket fried rice (they add wok fried chicken to it). The place was fast, the food was delicious and the staff friendly - more than willing to make recommendations or explain ingredients if asked.

8 East has excellent food with Great service. Circa Has a great variety of restaurants and 8 East rounds it out. Make sure you get the Vital Vegas - Fried Rice with Chicken Skewerss without the skewer. it is named after a famous Las Vegas Blogger.

Wandered here in Circa and I was not let down. Everything was great. Muay Thai punch was a great drink if you like sweet drinks. My friend had a guava beer that was good. My least favorite item was the pork bao and as a bao connoisseur, it could use some help. Preferably a sauce. I asked for some to add to my bao and it made it better. I had the shrimp-excellent & a must Cucumber salad-spicy and excellent Ginger dumplings-excellent. Brisket fried rice-ok but I wish it had the flavors from the shrimp dish. I heard great things about the bok choy in oyster sauce and chilled steak salad but got too full to eat it. I'll be back to try it though!

Had pork sizzling noodles, fried chicken skins, pork belly bao , green beans with pork, and butter mushrooms . Sauce with noodles was nice, liked the mushrooms for the most healthy. Bao served open face, was good but didn't pop. Sauce for chicken skins seemed something missing. I like tamarind and fish sauce, but something missing made taste off. All dishes seemed a bit heavy handed with oil. Presentation was nicely done. Service pretty quick for lunchtime at 1230. Noted that some veggies missed complete prep.. roots... Not sure green beans were fresh cooked. Texture like pre cooked or blanched.

More people should be talking about and enjoying this restaurant. It was wonderful. We had brisket fried rice, sizzling noodles, and pork belly bao. I can't wait to go back and eat there again!

We booked a table on a walk in and returned after an hour of gambling. Service - Perfect Food - Excellent Value for money - spot on

This meal was outstanding. The service , food and ambience was excellent. We had to make a slight adjustment to our booking and this was dealt with without fuss. It was value for money. We would definitely return.

If you're looking for amazing food, come here. Fun, Tapas style dishes, perfect for socializing and sharing a variety of food. We had the lamb lollipops, pork belly bao, short rib dumplings, and duck rolls. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor! Highly recommend all of it! Will definitely be coming back to sample more of the menu.

Popped here for a bit of food after a day at Stadium Swim. I'd heard good things about the Brisket Fried Rice and it didn't disappoint! We also had some chicken wings which were good, but nothing special about them. Great and friendly service whilst sat at the bar.

The food was wonderful! Atmosphere great! The staff were helpful, attentive, and super nice! Made for a wonderful lunch.

We’re locals. My family asked where I want to dine for my birthday and after reading the reviews, I picked 8 East. I had the sizzling shrimp that was absolutely outstanding. I simply cannot rave enough over this dish. For my main course the pork sizzling noodles was just so delicious. The small plates beef jerky and cucumber salad was also good. Our waiter Garland was attentive and gave us great recommendations. The manager Dustin was outstanding too.

Excellent! Shared the Brisket rice (big portion) and the chicken dumplings. Also went back for the shrimp and another serving of Brisket rice. Great service. Good prices.

Excellent food. Great value. We had the fried dumplings, lobster, fried rice, Green string beans Jasmine tea. Everything was delicious and we definitely would go back!!

Don’t try to bring anyone under 21 years old to 8 East - they will not be allowed to enter. The seasonings were delicious in every plate that we tried. The room is comfortable, but can be crowded. If you can, make a reservation. The service is hurried but adequate.

Ricardo and the rest of the team were absolutely superb. Very attentive and gave great recommendations. We happened on here on our visit to Fremont street and didn’t have a booking but we were sat straight away. Food was incredible, we shared four appetisers and a main each and it was more than enough food - however it was all so great we couldn’t stop ordering!

Brand new place, excellent happy hour, reasonable prices, amazing food, great service. If you like Asian food, you can't go wrong!

I had the mushrooms and the lamb lollipops, which were enormous, and perfectly cooked. My companions had pho and noodles. SO happy to have found this place!

Ended up there on a hunch, since we were looking for an Asian Fusion type of restaurant, and it didnt disappoint! Our server Mark was super cool, and had some great recommendations. I personally LOVED the fried rice with shredded beef brisket. It came in a large bowl, and perfect to share with another person. The pork belly was also really good, as it was very tender and perfectly cooked. The dumplings were also pretty decent, but slightly over cooked. The bao buns were good, but our least favorite bite. Overall, this was an awesome new place to try. The atmosphere was very chill, the food was delicious, and service was excellent! I'd definitely go back again real soon!

This is owned by the same person who owns LeThai, so we knew it would be good. We were not disappointed. We wanted to try a variety, so we went with small plates. The pork belly bao was so tasty and the dough was very light weight. Other bao I have had left me feeling full too quickly, but this was airy. The beef skewers were cooked perfectly and came with an amazing dipping sauce that was actually jalapeno based. Next, we had the chicken dumplings that were exactly what you would expect. We also had the cucumber salad to cleanse our pallet between foods. We were still a little bit hungry and our waiter recommended the brisket fried rice. Wow! We could only eat about half of it because of everything else we had, but it was out of this world. I poured some of the green sauce on it and was so glad I did. Good news: this fried rice held up overnight in our hotel room and I ate if for breakfast the next morning!

This was an amazing dining experience! I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about 8 East yet, it’s a MUST do for Circa and Fremont. We ate Sunday night, very attentive service, quick to bring everything to table. Brisket fried rice was a highlight but my personal favorite was the Ramen, very flavorful and tasty. Can’t rave enough about this place!

Went with family for dinner and we shared a variety of small plates. My favorite dish was actually the green beans, perfectly roasted and very flavorful. I also liked the wine menu and the wine I got. The service was okay; the food was okay; it was an okay experience. No reason to not go back, but no reason to rush back.

As a couple that likes to try as much as possible (and usually ends up sharing, anyway), the small plate setup at 8 East was perfect for us. We got to try ginger chicken dumplings, cucumber salad, stir fried green beans, pork belly bao, Tokyo crepe, and Thai tea creme brûlée. The ability to try so many different dishes was a fun treat for us and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Another fun highlight for us was the option for non-alcoholic cocktails! Overall, the food was flavorful and interesting, and that pork belly bao is the stuff of dreams!

Great food, fun atmosphere, great music although it was turned up really really loud because it had to complete with CIrca's OBNOXIOUS music 24/7. This place saved my ass and throat with its rich, delicious broth since our throats were sore from trying to have a conversation over Circa's obnoxiousness. Great ramen. So so good!

Wow! By far one of the best meals we had in Vegas. While this restaurant is far from the strip, it is definitely worth the trip to the Freemont Street Area. The restaurant, located at the Circa hotel, is amazing. Every dish we had was perfectly made & had such a delicious mix of Asian Fusion flavours. The staff was great, and I hope we get a chance to dine there again

I would absolutely recommend the brisket fried rice and the dumplings. We just happened to drop in here and it was plenty to share with 3 people.

found our new favorite Asian place on fremont. lots of sharable apps. everything is hot, fresh and tasty. incredibly efficient and fast. the Thai creme brulee has a thick brulee topping. I love this place so much I came back by myself the next day. definitely worth the money

I was here today on a business lunch with two colleagues. We placed quite a few orders for dishes including the brisket rice. As the orders came out we noticed a lobster rice. We told our server we didn’t order lobster because no one likes it at the table. She said she thought she heard our order differently and she said “enjoy it” and walked away. A few minutes later I asked her what the price was for the lobster rice and she said $60! Our normal brisket is $20. We couldn’t send it back at that point. Soon after, a manager came over and gave us the “servers side of the story”. Really? Aren’t the customer’s most important here? The server was, we believe, ashamed as she scammed us and never came back to our table having another server run our card. Needless to say, the lobster rice wasn’t even tasty and for 3 people for lunch it was $150 before tip! My colleagues and I usually frequent this place once a month but that is the last time we go back.
