Wagyu Wednesday special was great value! Food tasted great, a bit heavy since all 3 courses was the wagyu then some noodles – would've been nice to have a small salad to share or as an add on option. Service was good, it was quiet since it was an early dinner on a weekday. Not sure if they charged us correctly for our 2 drinks though since it was near the same price as our meals... Also the door was hard to find since it's lowkey disguised as the wall

I booked the night tea on Sunday, and it was absolutely wonderful! The ambiance was fantastic, and the space felt open and comfortable. Most importantly, Beau gave me and my friend a warm welcome. She was so friendly, and her service was truly commendable and impressive. It made the entire experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!
