Dined on May 24, 2025
Lovely hidden spot, located on the 2nd floor on Lonsdale. Staff service was friendly Food was nice, although my partner and I were still hungry after selecting a set combo each. Extra meat was a bit on the pricey side. Otherwise, a nice ambience, with all customers forward facing the grill with accessible condiments to pair with the food stored a top the seating. Authentic cuisine, for an average dinner for 2, with 2 beverages and a few +extras, expect to spend under $120.
