We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend

Highly Recommend! Super convenient to Marvel Stadium & Southern Cross Train Station - great for before/after footy/concert etc. Yummy delicious food! We shared plates between us to try lots & loved everything! Spring rolls, satay skewers, dumplings, pork belly (amazing) stir fried vegies! The only thing which is out of their control is the toilets, they are separate down a hallway part of building next door & had barely any paper left (they explained they are not theirs & are cleaned by an external company)!
