Unless you don't like food, you won't be dissatisfied. A technical, imaginative dining experience with an exceptional staff. And a staff who has grown friendlier over the years.
A nice place to have a conversation with a variety of table experiences (I imagine I would become friends with the captain to have better reservation options if it was more local to me). Its a place you can have a conversation, over cocktails and food that is consistently very good.
Google being across the street has clearly been good for the location. The clientele is extremely upscale, and for a meal of this caliber it is affordable.
The menu is elevated Asian street food for the American palette, so sweeter and less spice...approachable, with hidden delights, and lots of options.
Full disclosure I have eaten at this place for many years now. It hasn't changed much over the years. Becoming a local staple, has been a good thing and the ambiance, familiarity has grown on me personally.
If you are a cautious food global tourist looking for a good entry way to a variety of Asian cuisine, its hard to think of better.
