Dumplings were insane, sushi rolls are the best in the city, and carbonara hit the spot. The bartender was really cool and made the restaurant feel fun. The ambiance was 10/10 it is a really good restaurant experience as a whole.

Fireproof is always an enjoyable experience with amazing food and service! I typically don’t get dessert but decided to get the Ube Cheesecake and it was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! It wasn’t too sweet and the texture was perfect.
