    We found this gem of a place 2 years ago and travel from sligo to eat here. The staff are lovely, the athmosphere is peaceful and calm. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children, the menu is easy to read and has a good choice. The dumplings are a firm favourite we enjoyed the platter. Having a variety was nice. Its lovely to go to a restaurant where the food is really fresh, its light but very tasty and great value for money. 5 starters, 4 main courses, drinks for 119 euro. Compared to what we normally pay this to us is great value for money. Looking forward to our next meal there.

    The food and service was good but you must tell them exactly what you want otherwise you never know what you are going to get.

    Fantastic food at reasonable price. Slow to be seated and order not taken properly resulting in correct food not being brought to table however this was quickly corrected.

    First time here. Food was really good, portions are a really good size so it's good value for money. Also the staff were so polity and food was out fairly quick.

    We were very excited to see an entire vegan menu! The food we ordered (a bao bun, deep fried sushi roll, sizzling "duck" and handmade soba noodles) was all delicious and we left stuffed! The cocktails were tasty, but a little pricey. Restaurant is nicely decorated and in a great location. Highly recommend if you are vegan!

    A Chinese (as opposed to “Asian fusion”) restaurant is always a welcome discovery. True here. But: the cooking seems to have lessened in quality over the year since my wife and I had eaten there. Portions had grown in volume and the recipes seem to have acquired more ingredients. Service a bit snippy—a telephone request for a dinner reservation got a too-brisk “we’re fully booked” while Open Table confirmed a 5:30 table! Alone among the restaurants we returned to in a week in Galway this was the only one that treated us like tourists who woul never return. Disappointing.
