Japanese Eggplant 🍆

If you’ve never tried Japanese eggplant before, this is your sign.

Simple ingredients. Big flavor. 🌿

Chef Bernie Lee has always had a soft spot for two comfort foods: gnocchi and curry.

One day, a simple thought came to mind… Why not combine them into one dish?

That little “what if” became our Malaysian Curry Gnocchi—pillowy handmade gnocchi wrapped in the rich, aromatic flavors of Malaysian curry. Familiar yet unexpected. Comforting, but with a Southeast Asian soul.

It’s been our vegetarian option on the menu since day one, and it continues to be one of the dishes that tells our story best: honoring tradition while embracing creativity.

Sometimes the best ideas are simply two things you love becoming one. 😊

Corn Ribs - salt & Szechuan peppercorn flavor.

Grateful to be recognized by The Infatuation as one of the best restaurants in St. Louis.

We don’t take this lightly. Every plate that leaves our kitchen carries intention, care, and the stories that shape who we are. To be included alongside so many respected peers in this city means a lot.

Thank you to our team for showing up every day with heart and discipline, and to our guests for trusting us, supporting us, and sharing the table with us. This recognition belongs to all of you.

We’ll keep cooking—one dish at a time.
