Cute little gem of a restaurant in Illovo. The food was delicious, I had the Korean BBQ wings - very tasty. The fried chicken steamed bun was my favourite. Didn't have enough space to fit in dessert, but will definitely be back soon. The service was average, even though we were the only patrons for such on the day, the waitress was less than interested in serving us. Pity that she put a damper on the afternoon. Luckily the food was so great and hopefully next time she will be more enthusiastic about service.

Delicious meal options for parents and kids. We love eating here. The Dan Dan ramen is top notch. Love the dumplings and the pancake.

Before attending the restaurant I read the reviews and found it quite interesting how mixed the feedback was. The restaurant is small and unassuming, neatly decorated to the theme. The food was the star of the show to us. The prawn was fresh and portions generous. The menu was simple but catered for all and I felt like there was enough variety to choose from. We will definitely go back.

Fun dining experience. The variety of tapas let you try a multitude of flavours.
Prince was attentive and friendly.
Definitely worth trying.
The Lindt mousse is a great way to end the evening :)

The food was delightful and well presented. I enjoyed the fact that each meal was unique and boasted intense flavors. I will definitely be revisiting this restaurant sooner rather than later.
