    Our server Justin gave impeccable service, attentive but not pushy. All of the plates tasted fantastic, the noodles were our favorite. Cocktails were balanced and tasty, their garnish presentation was positively subtle. It's refreshing to visit this place again after a couple of years and still come out of it with a fantastic experience.

    4 of us dined at 8pm on a friday night, great service and it was a fun vibe (not too noisy, cosy and funky decor). We had the tasting menu and it was plentiful, delicious and such a bargain! Bao, charcoal plate and krispie treats were the highlights. I wasn't loving my first mocktail and they kindly replaced it - highly recommend the Red Mystique if you enjoy something on the sweeter side. Can't wait to dine again!
