There is plenty to like about this breezy chic space—and then there is the food, which proves equally modern and delicious. Think traditional Chinese comfort fare given a snazzy facelift for maximum flavour.

Our recommendations: the kurobuta pork belly smoked with hickory and layered with just enough fat to keep things decadent but without overwhelming the palate; and the mapo tofu rice served in a claypot and topped with an onsen egg. There is plenty to tuck into, so bring your friends to share—or not.
