Delicious food and feed me menu was good value. Very friendly and attentive service. Very noisy, so not the place for quiet conversation. Can't wait to go again!

Service was great , food was very tasty with lots of flavour. Having read reviews about the red duck curry we ordered it and this was our least favourite dish. The sashimi, barramundi salad and the duck wontons were amazing. We will be back.
