After hearing about this place in high regard, we finally decided to go down and try out some high level plant based cuisine. From the first few seconds of entering we were met by a warm welcome by the staff and an incredible vibe from the restaurant itself, with beautiful decor and aesthetic. The service was incredible, passionate and knowledgeable while they handed us over superb dish by dish upon the course menu. The food was elegant, well thought out and unique. I have never tried some of these flavours before, but they were all delectable and well presented. I always have hesitations going to finer dining experiences because i do also want to be satiated whilst having an empty stomach prior to, so i can truly enjoy the food. Our table left with a full belly and a full heart. Thanks Shu!

My partner and I had the 10-course degustation. Food wasn’t bad, just not worth the price. Some unique dishes stood out amongst an array of over-salted ones. The Saturday surcharge of 10% was an unfortunate 11th surprise of the night.
