this is a wonderful place to yap + it’s close enough to other places so you can do something bad afterwards black sesame was just an espresso martini. my palate must not be there because xuemin said she could taste black sesame. the mace was cool idk what water chestnut she talkin bout cuz a cocktail tasting like chinese soup is craaaazy the menu’s cute too, don’t forget to take a look

cue where we got the shot that made us go clubbing tn after a tough round of rock paper scissors… my drink (the mase) tasted chinese i swear it was like water chestnut or something but viv didn’t taste it so maybe im craxy. the espresso martini (they call it black sesame) was really good imo. i will say they love using an exorbitant amount of ice here the vibes were just right in an in between what are we gonna do way but i look around and its kinda empty. we spilled a lot of tea here and i feel like we could yell without judgement they let me charge my phone enough where it dies right when u got home so that was a plus

feels like you’re in a cave. no res and waitlist was so long so we stood in the corner like we weren’t invited to the party to get a drink in. the drinks were cool. viv has a sorbet she had to scoop that was a part of her drink but she lost it to the ice cube :/ once again vivian is shivering and wincing ab the alcohol in her drink. my drink tasted like apple juice aftertaste but like in a not so bad way?? idk it was definitely different

“people lose limbs eating oysters” i appreciate crown for what it is bc you can always walk in but some of the oysters were funky.. i’ll give them the benefit of the doubt bc it’s summer. also why was my oyster filled to the brim with juice and then others had nothing i don’t think that’s a good sign viv is a regular here for happy hour but winced every sip, my drink was good. i like the vibes here bc im nosy and we’re close to other tables but you have to scream to talk
