We stopped by late at night thinking we were going to be an inconvenience. Then Daisy served us and made us feel as if we were right at home.
We think everything at this place is perfect. The food, the speed of service, the decor, location, easy parking - 10/10

Food was scrumptious cocktail was great. Decor of the place was soooo cooooooolllll. Service was decent, not really above and beyond but it is what service should be. Efficient and not intrusive. Food was genuinely really amazing tho. We had and would recommend the: crab and scallops, wagyu beef dumplings, lemongrass skewers, pad Thai and yellow chicken curry. Thanks for the good Tucker.

Disappointing experience – not child-friendly as promised.
I called ahead specifically to ask if this restaurant was child-friendly, as we were dining with our toddler and baby for my husband’s birthday. I was assured they could customise meals to suit young children, which was a big reason I chose this place.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case at all. The waiter recommended dishes for our 2-year-old and promised they wouldn’t be spicy, but all the dishes we were served were spicy—completely unsuitable for a child. After waiting a while for the food, our daughter was upset and couldn’t eat anything, which made the whole experience stressful rather than enjoyable.
To make matters worse, there was no change table in the bathrooms. So no, this place is not child-friendly—despite what they told us.
We spent $150 and left feeling disappointed. All the food was average.
Honestly, I wish they had just been upfront about their limitations with accommodating kids. It would’ve saved us a lot of hassle and money. We won’t be returning, even without kids—the food and overall experience just weren’t worth it.

Place was completely empty on a Sunday lunch. We sat down at a table and the manager told us we had to move and come ask for a table. The only one he allowed us to sit at outside was in the direct sunlight. Rude, argant, Not a place you would pay money to eat after that.
Don't both. Sorry can't comment on the food,we walked away

Fried chicken wings were AMAZING but didn't come with enough sauce.
Dishes are made to share.
We had the vegan dumplings but didn't like them.
Lemongrass chicken for the main, very nice. Make sure you add rice as meals don't come with rice. We also had wok greens and had to take food home in a container as ordered too much.
Dessert was chilli chocolate fondant and that was the best I've ever had!
Staff were welcoming and helpful.
