    Well alright to start by mentioning I typically don't critique places. I'll just tell you I am a incredible foodie. Recently, on business I went to Woo Lae Oak in N.Y.. The staff in that restaurant was so pleasant!The Dining area is clean and pretty. The service was excellent. Without doubt one of my issues was basically the plating wasn't that incredible. The look was okay yet just didn't provide you with that "omg" vibe. Even though virtually no real complaints. From the 2 starters -n- 2 entrees we ordered, We'd say 3 as superb and One as very okay All in all Excellent food! The cost was basically what we anticipated although maybe a few bucks too pricy. My friends and I had a good night! So refreshing as there are so many NYC restaurants that are awful. Also was to see a NYC restaurant with out excessive demeanor. I'm a enormous fan of the place. Go now before the publicity gets insane.
