    The lunch experience was awesome, the service by Thomas was fantastic, very attentive and nice! By other hand, the meal was really tasty and the timings of serving were just perfect. The manager, Wynn, was very kind with us and give us a very warm treatment, like friends. We highly recommend the restaurant for enjoy Chinese cuisine with hard origin roots and very interesting improvements with modern influences. My congratulations to the team.

    I do not understand how this restaurant continues to receive a Michelin star year after year. The food is simply ok with the service being borderline abysmal. No attentiveness or anticipation of what the guests need at the table. Food is just dropped off with no explanation and no flow. The flavors are in no way unique and for the price point, it’s embarrassingly bad.
