Old Thousand has been on my list for a bit now and I finally got around to it. It was about time I tried the place that people keep talking about. And I can see why it’s so popular! I ordered the jalapeño popper rangoons to start and got the brisket fried rice and broccoli beef. I wanted a bit more heat to the dishes so the chili oil helped. I think I liked the broccoli beef more. Great cocktails and save room for dessert. The panna cotta was pretty good but the winner was definitely the donuts! Shoutout to Kylie for her great service and recommendations. Old Thousand is excellent!

We stumbled upon this place and it was SO good. We were pleasantly surprised. We checked out their brunch and we loved the chicken and waffles, the diner plate- the egg was cooked perfectly, the potato was nice and crispy. The chili oil is so good. The brisket fried rice was yummy too. And omg the pandan donut is a must! Definitely check this place out!

Awesome spot for Chinese food! Very dim and intimate setting. I personally really liked how you order from your phone once seated. The brisket fried rice was very tasty and served in a pretty generous portion. I suggest reserving a table for dinner since it can get pretty busy.

Great ambiance (laid-back and hip; peppy K-pop was played), service (Anna was lovely and so helpful in breaking down the menu items), and food! Definitely more of a place to eat while you drink due to the smaller portions, but I want to come here again. Loved the chicken heart and liver skewers, haha. It was my first time eating uni sushi this good, the taste was clean and buttery! The dessert (wrapped in banana leaves - sasa dango) was unique and quite sweet.If you come on an evening, especially Friday, it can get pretty busy. Would recommend calling ahead to reserve a table if possible!
