Food was below our expectation and felt the food was frozen and only heated up. Chicken bao was a big let down and the Happy Chappy cocktail tasted like a plan... Big expectations sadly let down

Delicious and interesting flavour combos in a fun and vibrant setting. Were super accomodating to vegans too. Only downside was the cocktails weren’t all available and the dessert dumplings had run out.

The food was amazing always, the service was great. The whole experience was 5 star! The only thing that was let down was my main meal didn’t come with the rest of my families and when it arrived it was slightly cold but the waiter had acknowledged this and removed it from the bill.

We were super excited to return, however the menu has been altered and not until our food arrived were we made aware that they didn’t have Satay sauce for the chick satay dumplings and No satay sauce for the roti we had ordered. They also only had one dessert available, again non of this was mentioned at arrival and the altered menu didn’t reflect this. We were pretty disappointed and won’t be returning any time soon.

Delicious food and amazing cocktails! Service was quite slow, especially considering there were so few people in the restaurant, but staff were super friendly.
