I decided to book a table for 3 to celebrate one of my best friend 40th in Jing Yan. I wrote down that the reason for the booking is birthday, and did not expect anything much from them. When we arrived we were served with a complementary blueberry martini to toast for my friends birthday, that was very thoughtful and impressive. We ordered 3 appetizers the marinated tufo, sweet and sour chicken and seaweed burrata, and all are outstanding, the tufo was so flavorful and crispy at the same time, while the burrata was so refreshing with the seaweed pesto in it, the chicken was thinly battered and crispy and light and flavorful. We all decided to have the beef kimchi ramen for entree, and that was very good as well, the beef was very tender and melts in your mouth, the broth was not over bearing, and the noodles and vegetables are cook perfectly, the kimchi was light and not to strong, although I prefer my kimchi strong but my friend who was picky like it that way, so it was perfect. The cocktails complements our meal well, I had a drink with ginger and sumac, I forgot the name but I love the bitterness and tast of it, my friends had a Singaporean cocktail, which they enjoy well. After dinner the staff once again gave us a complementary dessert for my friend birthday, a sorbet made with mascapone, and ube and coconut bits, which is to die for. It reminds me of my childhood ice cream in the Philippines, although I'm sure the staff did not know we were Filipinos , but the gesture felt almost personal and very thoughtful. Overall the place leave a lasting good impression for me, definitely gonna comeback.

Creative Asian food and cocktails with some unexpected menu items. Everything was delicious and our server was super friendly and personable! Small and intimate with a very hip vibe! If you sit at the bar, the bartender, who coowns with his wife, is super friendly and interesting. I highly recommend ordering several dishes to share!
