Editorial Review for Karma – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The Asian-hip dining room is smart and sleek, with eerily lit glass bamboo, a sensuous waterfall wall, geometric light fixtures and a stylized pond in the room's center. The creative Asian menu is laden with intriguing temptations: crisp, pan-fried peppered oysters with caviar; signature Indochine ginger lobster in curry sauce; and Mandarin beef in soy-orange sauce. For dessert, gingerbread ice cream sandwiches with ginger ice cream and caramel sauce is a unique, sweet ending.

I have been going to Karma for years. I love their food and their cocktails, especially the atmosphere. Last time we went there, the service was excellent and the servers knew everything about the menu. They could accommodate any special requests. Unfortunately when we had a time delay on the food, we could not identify the manager because she was not dressed professionally. The delay was due to the restaurant being short staff. The manager gave us a coupon that expired in two weeks. Also when I wanted to make a compliment on one of her servers, she came back with a comment card and ask me to fill it up, she was not even interested to hear what I have to say. On a Saturday night, we had to wait 30 min for a bottle of wine and we could not talk to the manager that day because she was bar tending. The only thing that compensated for all the inconvenience was the food and the servers that were trying their best to improve our experience. Whomever hired that manager, needs to find another job, because they don't know what they are doing. I would only go back there for the food because we love it. It is sad that places as nice as Karma go back to average instead of excellent because of incompetent people
Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service, Food

Went here last week again and the everything was spot on. Food and service was great and this is a perfect place for a date. The menu has recently changed and everything was delicious (we had Duck with a moo shoo crepe and the lemongrass grilled prawns). The lounge also had great complimentary 'bar munchies.' (homemade potato chips) as well as some interesting signature drinks (e.g. tamarind martini) I think the manager is new and seem like things are running smoothly after a brief hiccup.
Pros: Innovative menu, Ambience
