The food and service was amazing! The only issue I had was that it was so loud that it was difficult to hear the server when we were speaking to each other. Keep in mind it was at 6pm on a Friday though, so I think more noise is to be expected at that time in a busy restaurant.

A joyous experience. The other diners seemed to cherish this place, looked like they’d come before. The many people who took part in serving us were all great hosts: the food was clearly described as it arrived and questions were answered with an interested attitude. It was clear, the servers lived this restaurant and their jobs. We have brought friends here befire and will do again. It is a gem.

Excellent food! We enjoyed every single dish we ordered. For our party of 7, the dishes that came out to be the favourites were the pomelo salad, steak salad, shrimp toast, and crab fried rice. Great service from their staff too!
