    Delicious! Limited options for vegans (cabbage, pea shoots, green beans, jasmine rice, veggie fried rice if they have it that day) and vegetarians (squash croquettes). Many of the vegetable dishes are flavored with shrimp paste or meat sauce or bacon. The cauliflower was delicious but prepared with bacon. We loved the rich flavor of the green beans! Loved the sichauan cabbage. We ordered a vegetable fried rice with mushrooms and egg -- would definitely order that again. My fiance loved the squab. Great date night.

    The ambiance was great, however there was a noticeable delay between our starters and entrees coming out. We ordered oysters - which were fresh, baked cheese and warmed olives, and the focaccia was deliciously herby. Swordfish, duck, and two steak frites were ordered as mains, all arrived together however the fries were dry and cold (as compared to the steak on the same plate). Overall the food and drinks were delicious.

    Wonderful experience and highly recommend if you like a Polynesian ambience and live band. Better if you have a couple of Zombie drinks and groove to the 70s and 80s music. Come with some fun loving uninhibited party animals.and you’ll have a great time!

    10 out of 10, this place was AMAZING! The blended service of ordering items of the menu and Dim sum style with the carts was fantastic. Our server gave up great advise in only ordering a few things from the menu then waiting for the carts to come around. We went here for my wife's birthday and she was so happy we did. We will for sure be back for another special occasion.
