I’ve been here twice, and both times there were some things I liked and other things I didn’t like at all. Unfortunately there were more things I didn’t like. I really like the Ho Fun noodles. The steak is great in it. It’s a pretty simple dish, I think a less adventurous person would dig it. The prawns are fried with their head and shell attached. So all of the flavor is on the outside of the shell. I don’t want to eat shrimp shells. It’s not enjoyable to me. Thumbs down. The taro dumplings are warm, with a crispy exterior and soft interior. They were a favorite. The jade dumplings are too chewy. Not a lot of flavor. Not a fan. We got the dessert special. It was flan. It was pretty boring and the texture was too firm, like it was old. The lighting is very dark with weird lights on the wall that remind me of headlights and are kind of blinding in the same way. My friend and I ordered two drinks each and none of them were very good, especially for how expensive they are. This place is pretty expensive for the quality, I think they spend a lot more effort on appearance rather than quality of food. But there are still more things on the menu I want to try, so I’ll probably be back.

I have NO idea how I haven't left a review of my favorite restaurant in the city - and I apologize. I have lost count as to how many times I've been here. I take every person I know... they NEED to experience it. Celebrations, just because... it doesn't matter. The Parlor delivers EVERY TIME. The service is incredible, the atmosphere is so chill, and the food is absolutely the best. You know this place makes everything with love, skill and quality ingredients. Don't sleep on the daily specials and the juicy dumplings... and the cocktails are imaginative and delicious! and the Taro Dumplings are my absolute favorites! If you haven't made a reservation or dropped in late night, do not hesitate. This place is the real deal, and Roger Li and team should be SO proud.
