    Excellent from beginning to end. The feed me option is excellent value. All three cocktails I tried were fantastic and well balanced enough to not give you indigestion like some strong overly sweet ones. The sandstorm chicken was a standout and will have me coming back again for sure. Well done. The only critique I could give is that they were too efficient and the food came out pretty fast, that it felt like the whole meal was over too soon.

    I have been lucky to experience this restaurant chain in Singapore and USA. The Melbourne restaurant is equally as tasty with lots of variety on the menu and everything to perfection. Price in general is high end comparing to having the same dishes in say China but overall we had a nice time and enjoyed every dish.
