In Short
This Bellaire restaurant's mix of elegant decor and Chinese, Japanese and Thai creations makes for a memorable lunch and dinner. Begin any meal with spicy Thai seviche or kataifi shrimp appetizer--baked filo-wrapped shrimp and bacon with tamarind sauce. Don't miss the Gorgonzola salad. Hoisin-marinated rib eye and Korean osso bucco are popular--the latter a braised lamb shank with lotus root. The cafe also offers an affordable wine list.

We found this restaurant quite by chance- and have returned many times. I love the curry firecracker appetizers, spring rolls- cold with meat and mint and wonderful dipping sauce. My husband adores the Pad Thai which is served inside of an "omelet". I order something different each visit- and have always been impressed with the flavor and quality. We recently visited only an hour before closing time( thought we had two hours before they closed!) and were served by a waiter we had never met (so we weren't recognized as a frequent visitor). We were never "rushed" but were allowed to enjoy our delicious meal. When we realized that the restaurant was closed, I felt that we should leave. BUT the waiter came over with dessert menus and encouraged us to have a look. We were unable to turn down the strawberry shortcake and the white chocolate bread pudding. He cheerfully said he would make fresh coffee and served us a wonderful dessert. When I offered to pay so they could close out and clean up- he declined laughing and said he would enjoy a cup of the coffee and was in no hurry. It was like dining with friends!! I have always been impressed with their food- but the service was just unbelievably good on our last visit.

I was invited to a small lunch with my friend Yolanda at Children's Collections. We WALKED there. She surprised me with friends gathered together as I will start a new job Monday. The food was excellent. Excellent service, and atmosphere. A place for girls to meet, or have dinner with favorite man. The wine list was terrific and glad we walked back to Children's Collections as I ate to much and plan to have dinner here with my husband and use the place for girls lunches!!!!

Good Lord, this place is overpriced! The food is good but the portions are tiny and you need to take out a loan to pay the bill.Ridiculous prices.Maybe good for a dinner but wouldn't reccomend for a lunch.
