    Wonderful lunch experience! The staff was warm and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The décor was playful and thoughtfully designed, adding to the inviting atmosphere. When I asked for recommendations, the team had great suggestions ready. Service was quick, and the food arrived hot—just the right temperature to enjoy without worrying about burning your tongue! The Short Rib Massaman (P) (GF) was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, and deeply satisfying. The Salmon Clay Pot (GF) was perfectly cooked, paired with salmon roe and rice—an absolute delight. Definitely a must-try lunch spot, with plenty of ways to mix and match flavors and proteins. Next time, I’d love to order it spicier. Portions were also perfect for lunch! Best, SpeakingInRoughDraft
