Five stars, a chef’s kiss, and a standing ovation from me! ✈️🍜🔥...

We visited a few weeks ago and we're amazed by the food. 5 stars all the way. Rangoons and Egg rolls were out of this world. The Green Curry medium, had a very nice spice and amazing flavors. The Ramen was an great experience as well. Packed with flavor and noodles, it was definitely one of the best I've ever had. Top it off with with Pad Thai that was out of this world and Thai fried rice, it made for an epic meal.

Yesterday's visit was as warm and inviting as well. The bartender was very friendly and informative. I ordered the extra wagyu with the Raman and was not disappointed. Just like last time, it was off the charts. The egg rolls were amazing again as well. The Rangoons, however, we're a different story. While cooked well and puffy, they had very little of the delicious filling. Unfortunately, The Pad Thai was ordered and confirmed mild. When it came, it was spicier than my medium green curry from the previous visit. It was the first time we've ever sent anything back. The server was apologetic, and removed from our bill. I'm sure it was coincidence, due to business in the back, but after that it was 20+ minutes to be checked back on to ask for a bill. It did seem busy in the restaurant area, but our being seated, Drink order, food order, and served apps, then food, took approximately the same time. There were very few customers in the bar seating area. We actually didn't get our drink order until after the appetizers, but things happen. Next time we're looking forward to make reservations for the restaurant area. I would...

I never typically write reviews for the places I eat but I came here for the first time with my partner yesterday after trying to since they opened but never being able due to real life getting in the way. That being said, the food here is probably some of the best I've ever had in my life, and I don't say this lightly, I've never been one who's super picky with what I eat but this doesn't mean I'm unable to recognize when something is special.

Firstly, the entire establishment is incredibly clean, there were no moments where I was worried about cleanliness whatsoever.

Secondly, the service is amazing, everyone there was so accommodating and, while walking in, I saw the owner handing out complimentary crab rangoons to patrons which my partner and I later received ourselves after having ordered.

Finally, and most importantly, the food. The food here is actually amazing, there are few other places in Wisconsin where you'd find this quality of Asian food that's actually authentic and not so heavily Americanized, and I say that with complete confidence. I got the Boat Noodle (Pho) and my partner got Pad Thai, with both of us getting different types of boba for our drinks. Both were amazing and I'll definitely be back for more.

In conclusion, if you want a place to try something new, go on a date, or just to get a bite to eat, this place is definitely something I recommend anyone in the LaCrosse area and...
