   While service was good- the pace of the meal was way too fast - we wanted an enjoyable 90 min but were done in 45.

   Food and service are always on point. There is not a huge selection of food choices, but everything on the menu is priced well for the quality, and YUMMY!

   We are guests at the resort and this was our second choice restaurant as the first choice was closed. We are so glad the first choice was closed. The food was spectacular. We weren’t prepared for Napa cabbage to taste that good. And the lobster was amazing as well.

   Wait staff was initially good, but then took quite a long time to get coffee, tea, dessert at the end of the meal. The food is totally amazing!

   The food here is great, with authentic spice and top-quality ingredients! Clayton and Chef Penny provide outstanding service. If you're in the area and eager to explore more authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Truly top-notch!

   Other than one dish we tried that we were not impressed with, the food and drink items we ordered were delicious. Servioe was otherwise good, but the wait for our drinks was almost a half hour. Very nice space, but a bit noisy when most tables are occupied. Overall we liked it a lot and would definitely go back.
