The flavors and menu compare well with our dining experiences in Southeast Asia. The portions are very generous. The service was timely and and attentive, and non-intrusive. As the restaurant filled we still found it easy to converse in normal tones. It’s so nice to enjoy delicious cuisine from a remote part of the world in such a pleasant setting!
