The food is really great. I grew up eating Indonesian food, so it was nice To have Indonesian food represented in the area. The servers were pretty nice and the food was delicious, I enjoyed their interpretation of Asian fusion foods. The fish was amazing, and their signature wings are delicious.

Signature chicken wings were amazingly flavorful! Krupuk + sambal were also delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! We also enjoyed the boho berry and martini no 5 cocktails.

Food is great, except they ran out of half the items (drinks and food) we tried ordering at 7:30pm on a Saturday evening. Service could definitely get better.

The food and service were amazing. I would certainly return. My only complaint was the noise level. It was very hard for the two of us to have a conversation. Great food though!
