We went here for my husbands birthday and the food was great! It was really dark in here but i guess it creates ambiance. I dont really enjoy eating in the dark but its okay. We ordered a lot since the portions were small but we were able to finish every bit of it since we don’t eat a lot so i quite like the portions. One thing that stood out to me was the dumplings. They were wrapped in a leaf and you can taste it in the dumplings and it had such an authentic taste to it felt like we were in asia. Food came out quick, service could be better, food well seasoned. Overall it was great!

I took my wife here for her birthday, Thursdays is ladies night and we were met with a free glass of prosecco. The decor is beautiful, the tuna tataki was delicious. The best part of our experience was the servers, Aïcha and Valentina! They made sure my wife felt special, they were attentive and very friendly. Valentina knew the menu and drink pairings very well. They decorated my wife's birthday cake plate and sang for her. Thanks to these lovely ladies and delectable cocktails and food, we will most certainly be back. Also we got 20% off our bill as it was the ladies night deal.

Ambience and presentation of food are excellent. Don’t let it deceive you. The food was really bad. For us just vacationing here where every meal count, this was such a let down. Avoid this place.

The food and drink was great! Service was great, but the timing was a little off. Food came so fast we did not have our drinks. Not a big deal but it's nice to have a drink started before the food.
