"Described as an ultrascene-y restaurant in Chinatown co-owned and cheffed by Sam Lawrence, this is the sort of place that can shut down the dining room for a glamorous, five-hour birthday lunch with tables lined down the center and 20 close friends, suggesting polished, celebratory cooking and a room that can feel both intimate and theatrical when used for long, wine-soaked meals and special occasions." - Alyssa Shelasky
