I wish I had more photos…. But at least I saved this one of me eating so much good food! My wife and I made reservations for dinner. The cold tofu appetizer was heaven - soft and so satisfying, not super spicy or oily. The noodles crab and fish egg dish was absolutely delicious 🤤. My wife enjoyed the crispy spicy chicken, but it wasn’t super spicy, which was good for her. Finally, the mushroom soup with crispy noodles, my goodness, what a tasty dish. For a Michelin star restaurant, and coming from California, we were blown away by the food, service, and the appeal of the restaurant. Highly recommended, especially if you are staying in the hotel. Jin was our waiter and his service was over the top.

This place, doesn't serve 'korean-chinese dish' that's what 'Good and different point'.

We tried "Chili shrimp" (what anyone could like this. If you are not Vegan😉) , "Szechuan Spicy Eggplant" , "truffle-stir fried rice" , "stir fried noodle with beef". okay, all four dishes.
(Two appetizer with two meal) , Those were really enough for two.

however, If someone asked "Do you want try something elses on the other(other dishes) day?" My anwser ... "well, if I stay at Lé-scape Hotel."

We've dined here twice. First time in December 2019 for DimSum lunch set, and 2nd time just 2 days ago in February 2023 for dinner set. We loved this restaurant a lot; the presentations are beautiful, and the taste is just right for us--we are from Taiwan and when we want a good dining experience we can be picky, but this restaurant has nothing for us to criticize at all! Each dish is prepared in a way that it keeps its original taste, but is also combined with the right sauce and other ingredients to bring out the best of itself and not let the spice overshadow it. The interior is decorated as said to be "Shanghai belle epoch" style, elegant yet lively.
