The service and bar tenders were SO fun, felt like your friends serving you. This is my second time to Ruki and the food and service since they initially opened is 10/10. Truly one of the best asian fusions I have had.

We had a great meal on there Pasta night, unfortunately they missed our order so we didn't get food for a long time. They were honest about it so a big tick, but perhaps some bread or more wine might have helped soothe us.
