    The food and overall experience was great. We got to our booking and the restaurant had tried to contact me about delaying it slightly due to the booking prior still eating. They politely told us to come back and offered to take something off the menu as an apology- they offered the whole table free dessert which was a great initiative by the team and made our night. I loved the chilli sauce on the bao buns - wish you sold that! Music was a touch on the louder side but the atmosphere was great, couldn’t hear anyone else’s conversations and loved the food. Southside curry is a staple and the pork hok, got rave reviews.

    The food is delicious and authentic. Loads of flavour and fresh. The staff and service is warm and friendly. The restaurant is small. We were comfortable with two or four people but not much bigger. They offer byo wine only and have a good range of beer to purchase. One of my favourite locals. Try it and it will become yours too
