This is my second time being here, and it is honestly a hidden gem. Everything about this place: food, drinks, ambiance. Our server was very kind. She explained the menu to us and gave some suggestions on what’s popular/her favourites, which was very helpful. The manager came over to ensure everything tasted good, and we were happy. All the food came out on time, and we ordered lots of apps, but every app came one at a time, and as soon as we finished one a couple of moments later, the next one arrived, which I honestly loved. It felt like we were doing a 7-course meal! I love this place's vibe, and the people will definitely be back soon!!!
