What Makes It Awesome

That it's got great pan Asian food, and done very interesting cocktails. If you're in Aerocity and you're looking for a nice restaurant to have a meal and a few drinks with your friends, this place has the right vibe. There's an indoor and outdoor section, and, while we sat indoors, in retrospect would have preferred the outdoor seating.

Starters are everything here; while the sushi is nice (try the Eel Dragon and Crab California roll, unless you're vegetarian, in which case the Veg Philadelphia roll, rife with cucumber and light cream cheese, will serve you well), it's not a patch on the dumplings and small plates. The Kylin Signature Spicy Chicken in Sichuan Oil Dumplings are fabulous if you like them tears-in-your-eyes spicy, and the prawn crystal dumplings bode well for milder folks like me. Also, do try the crab cakes and the Caramelised Prawns—very different (but very unique) flavours.

For the mains, the Straight From The Teppen section of the menu has some great options (the Tenderloin Steak in Teriyaki Sauce to be particular), but we'd stick to their better-known meals-in-a-bowl any day. Their Korean-Style Gangam Bowl (lamb bulgogi with garlic sticky rice) is a real star; and immensely filling.

What Could Be Better

The lighting in the indoor section is a bit dim and the music a bit loud, but maybe that's just not a vibe I'm in love with, but could work for people who prefer their spaces that way.
