I believe my title sums it up well. It's descent food, and a nice venue, but a very pricey. It's not a good value for the money spent. I will spend for good food and scene from time to time, but this is no DC Coast. Typical of places opening in Chinatown for last couple of years. I like many other places in Chinatown better that don't cost this much.

The menu is the most contrived and annoying menu I have ever read. This is a typical DC restaurant. It tries too hard and falls so short of what's good. I mean, really, tomato soup with tofu and truffle oil? What does the truffle oil add to the tomato and tofu? It is the most overrated ingredient, but I'm sure the tourists in Chinatown order it 1,000 times over because it is an ingredient. It makes me long for the days when I lived in NYC. Can't wait to go back. At least if someone was as pompous as to try a "Mexican/Asian fusion restaurant", (and believe me, there are a ton of pompous restaurants in Manhattan) at least they will do it well.

Food was good. It was a different mix, Asian and Latin theme. To give you an example of the menus mixture, we had WonTon Tacos (sushi in a taco). The decor was really nice. Portions were sort of small, could have been what we ordered. Going for appetizers is worth the trip.
