   We ordered 4 dishes, but it's our fault we didn't hear when the waiter repeated the order. So we asked about our 4th dish, we said if it's not on his list of what he read out to put it through as we still wanted it. We waited for a good 20 minute thinking he had put it through so we asked again how long it would be which reminded him to come back to us, but he came back letting us know he looked at the list and it wasn't down. So we waited a good 20 minutes thinking he had put it through to the kitchen! After that we were a little disappointed. Service was slow but we got our other food fast. The staff seemed very rushed and stressed. It's been a few years since I've been back. I was looking forward to a really good variation of dishes. The steamed broccoli was great but should offer bigger portions.

   Had a great dinner here with my daughter. Loved everything we ordered- the Crispy Szechuan Eggplant was delicious as was the Crispy Pork Belly with a sweet fresh slaw. Our server Jordan was prompt, helpful and always there when we needed without hovering. Only down side for me was the noise level- we will be back & book outside which seemed quieter.

   Every dish was delicious. Gigi was an exceptional host. No idea why it took so long to try this place. One of the best meals I’ve had in Melbourne in recent memory.

   Ambience is amazing. Music is too good to be true. Just the right for. But food wasn’t the best. It was very oily and the taste was a bit sweet even for the savoury and chilli dishes. But overall good. Would recommend.

   The staff were polite, friendly and organised and the atmosphere was great. We sat in a booth in the front of the restaurant. The food was amazing, well presented and portions were good.
