I just ate there after bomberR17's review. So thank you for that.

drinks are min. 13-21 dollars, their signature drink was legit. What was NOT legit was their HK milk tea (alcoholic), luckily their staff told us it was still "under review" which meant, don't order it yet, so I'm happy I didn't order it.

1) Staff
Reception, girl who got us menu, to the girl who took our order were 3 different people, SUPER friendly and amazing service. Manager came by and asked us how we were, very well educated. What is Mott 32, what's the famous dish (duck), which drinks were good etc. Out of everyone there, only 5 were Cauasian, everyone else were Asian. Maybe I'm racist, (I'm asian), but a few of the manager's had a a bit of a strong accent.

2) As per bomberR17, the BBQ pork is NOT 25 bucks. Wait, let me rephrase, the BBQ Iberico spanish pork was $46; and there were 15 pieces. It was good and tender, but not the same texture from our pork.

Not even going to comment on price. I'm asian so I aint' going to judge; similar to people saying $36 dollars pasta is OMGWTFBBQ good, but it's $36 dollars)

3) Food

Their famous duck dish (aka honger peking duck) was $95. 16 pieces of crispy skin; they only have 4 today (i had no reservations) but they made it available for us. They do also charge $20+ for the secondary meat dish (which I didn't have).

I ordered a salad which came with the duck meat from the peking duck above, and that was $18. It had truffle oil and it was just totally overpowering. They could have taken out truffle oil and add a few more things to give it a better salad.

3) Dessert: the dessert was great, I had the soya sauce ice cream, so it was intersting. To be honest, it tasted like salted caramel. None the less, it was much better than Glowbal (their desserts are from Furborq).

It's their soft opening, staff were friendly, and they accomadated us well and had duck even when they said they have a 24 hr reservation.

PS, they have suckling pig, 2 day wait list, $345.
PPS, their pool side night club on the 2nd flloor will be opened to public on the 28th. Will report back when my friend stays at the hotel next week.
PPPS. The Trump tower champagne room is a good place go to; NO, don't mistaken it as Brandy's champagne room ahhaahha
