The Newest Restaurant Openings in New Orleans, June 2025 | Eater New Orleans

"Chef Ashwin Vilkhu’s first solo venture finally opened after a multi-year, construction-delayed build; it serves as a personal project that tells his family’s culinary origin story through chopstick-worthy childhood Asian dishes. The light-filled dining room and glowing back bar were designed by a local architecture and interior firm, and the four-course, $92 tasting menu lets guests choose two to three options per course, with highlights like gulf yellowfin tuna paired with the chef’s five-year chili sauce and sticky rice, and a crispy, wok-fried Mongolian-style dish made with slices of leg of lamb. The program is rounded out by a cocktail menu focused on Asian flavors and a carefully curated wine list intended to stand up to bold profiles." - Beth D’Addono
