The restaurant is accomodating as we were running late due to poor weather, and customer service is very good considering how busy they get on the weekends. Thank you and we will be back again!

A great neighbourhood little restaurant was lovely aesthetics. Clean and very friendly service. They do a daily special including a happy hour so went on a Monday when it is BYOB during a week holiday in Sydney. The food and drinks were both very good. I would highly. recommend the French onion dip and salt and vinegar chips.

Very happy with this collab KOI X Sebastian. Very happy with the kakigori and paired well with the mocktail. Plus point we got the best seats right at the center and served by Chef Reynold & Chef Sebastian. The Kakigoris taste so light and not overly sweet so we still have some room for KOI cake afterwards. Excellent!!
