text: I attended a birthday dinner here for a friend on a Thursday evening I had high expectations as I am a huge Asian food lover and have heard great things about Pittsburghs recent restaurant openings as I have just returned to the city However I was disappointed with the food and service The dishes we ordered really lacked a meaningful Asian influence although no one ordered the noodle dishes and flavor Skate cheeks placed on top of small pieces of white toast were pretty bland The fried Brussels Sprouts were the highlight obviously but do not beat Meat Potatoes We should have skipped the desserts both options were vanilla custardbased one topped with Fruity Pebbles somewhat cute but very poorly executednnIn addition our server seemed to lack experience and confidence we had to ask to place our order AND had to ask for recommendations as our server never introduced herself nor asked us if we would ever dined there no one had nnHopefully the next seasons menu will feature more gritauthentic Chinese andor Southeast Asian flavors ala Red Farm in NYC bc right now it seems they are trying too hard and missing
