Coco C., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Jan. 19, wrote, "Chef's Special Cocktail Bar is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. This restaurant is going to kill it. We got spring rolls, spare ribs, potstickers, shrimp (with) lobster sauce, tofu with ground pork, twice cooked pork, Mongolian beef, lo mein and sesame cake."

And Derek L. wrote, "We have eagerly been awaiting this opening for months.  We went on opening night and it lived up to and exceeded my hopes and expectations.  We tried what seemed like half the menu and everything was amazing.  We'll definitely be coming back many times!"
