The good: The scallion pancakes were unreal. Best part of the whole meal. The value for money for the Restaurant Week menu is undeniable. We left absolutely stuffed.
The medicore: The seats. Very uncomfortable bar stools on the balcony. The only complaint I have about the tapas menu was there was no dessert option....

All in all a good night out. The food was definitely a highlight but there is room for improvement.
Service was excellent, as was the food. I highly recommend the Thai cucumber salad, shiitake mushroom bao and the Tom Yum prawn dumplings! Everything was delicious - a warning though, the food here is not good for people who can't handle heat.
The food was really exceptional (as per usual). The best dish was probably the salmon tacos but all dishes were well executed and beautifully presented). Our least favourite dish was probably the smoked cheese ramen - just a bit of a strange combo with a bit of a lumpy consistency. Serving sizes are generous and it ...

Our least favourite dish was probably the smoked cheese ramen - just a bit of a strange combo with a bit of a lumpy consistency. Serving sizes are generous and it works to share most dishes between two people to get the full experience. Service was exceptional - our waitress was extremely attentive and polite. It’s a simple layout with a minimalistic & compact interior (including an open kitchen), which works well with the style of the food. Really great overall! We will be back again soon!
We visited as part of Restaurant Week, so had five courses to get through and just couldn't manage them all! Tasty dishes and lovely ambience. We received excellent service from the wonderful and witty Fortunate. All in all, a great evening out and we will definitely back.
Food was amazing and the service was really good.
