    The host and bartender couldn’t be bothered to be welcoming at all. The food was great. The nearby streets feel like a zombie apocalypse at night.

    Always great good food and ambience. Pineapple fried rice, eggplant, and curry are yummy. After lunch, walking around the plaza and ferry building was fun.

    We visited this restaurant for a special occasion, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The servers were incredibly friendly and polite, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was also very accommodating of our food preferences, and every dish we tried was delicious and beautiful! The main dishes were filing and satisfying. To make our celebration even more special, they surprised us with personalized cards, a small gift, and a delicious cake! We can’t recommend this place highly enough!

    Food was excellent and being able to choose a “set” was very unique! Our server seemed pretty annoyed with us for whatever reason and we didn’t feel very welcomed the whole time we were there - maybe it was just an off day for them!
