in one word--confusing. thanks for trying too hard. \nspace is a little cramped but comparable to most bars in the lower east side/east village. the cozy dark lighting and wood is spoiled by the disjointed asian inspired ceiling. atmosphere is reaching for 'too cool for school' which is a shame cause the place could be chill. this ain't bushwick bitches. music was okay if generic.\nmenu was all over the place & reminded me of that seinfeld episode with the pakistani guy and the restaurant that served indian, italian & chinese food. made the mistake of ordering 'dim sum,' which literally & figuratively felt like sweaty balls. soup dumplings were gross--tasteless meat, chewy wrapper, no real soup. the other food around me looked good though, so maybe i just chose poorly.\ndrinks were good & not too expensive, although after a couple ale asylums i can't really remember. service was fine.
