" We had an unforgettable dining experience. The R&D fried rice is a memory I won't forget—cooked to perfection. The service was also quite receptive, but a tad slow. If you're in the mood for a special place to dine, this is it. We'll definitely be back to try more specialties on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at R&D last night. The bartenders whipped up great cocktails, and the ambiance is perfect for socializing. However, my main dish could have been more authentically grounded in its flavors. Still very delicious, and the service was prompt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at R&D for my mom's birthday. I found the food quite delightful but felt some dishes like the fried chicken could benefit from additional seasoning. The ambiance was charming, making it a perfect evening out. Can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was exceptional, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was buzzing, making it a vibrant spot for dinner. The service was attentive but felt a bit overwhelming at times. I loved their signature fried rice, and the duck was delightful, but does require advance ordering, which is something to keep in mind. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable evening with delicious food. The general atmosphere was relaxed, though I expected a bit more from the service. The fried rice was fantastic, and the pork siu mai was unique, although I found it lacked some depth in flavor. Overall, it was a good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, I found some dishes overpriced for the portion sizes. The shrimp toast was enjoyable, but the fried chicken didn’t quite meet my expectations in terms of flavors. Service was decent, yet there was room for improvement. The atmosphere had a nice vibe, perfect for catching up with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I did not find this place to be as authentic as I expected for a fusion Chinese restaurant. Some dishes felt uniquely westernized, which could be a turnoff for traditionalists. However, the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service made up for it. A fun night overall, I'd come back but manage expectations on authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
