    Went there for Dine Out Vancouver on a Sunday evening, the food was OK. It took over 1 hour to get the food and the service was extremely slow. To their defence the place was full when we went, but as it started emptying out the service was still super slow. It looked like the waiters were overworked and overwhelmed, and the kitchen was over capacity. The waitress was super polite, but when you have to wait 1 hour to get your appetizer and another 25min to get your main, no amount of sorry makes you feel better about it. The taste of the food itself was hit and miss, with the lamb dish being very chewy, while the fish curry & momo's being good and tasty. On a weird note, every plate we got was ICE cold, its like they wash them with ice water and then put the food on? This was super confusing as it makes your food go cold. I would not come back or recommend it to a friend based on our experience.

    Was excited to try the dine-out menu. But never got a chance to because the manager refused to seat us. We arrived on time for our reservation, and we were told to wait 20 minutes before a table was free. We were a little surprised and annoyed, but we waited since we were excited to try the food. However, when the 20 minutes were up, they still couldn't seat us, and told us that someone else took the table. The manager refused to take any accountability, and didn't have the decency to apologise either. He kept throwing excuses at us, telling us that "we have a 10 min prediction window, tell me what I can do?". Well, you could have started off my apologising, and take accountability for the mess that was created with our reservation. We were on time, but we weren't seated, and even after telling us to wait that long, you decide to give our seat to a random person? It's a shame because we were looking forward to trying out this place for a week.

    The food was acceptable. 90 minutes to get the appetizers, the place was cold, no way to keep the doors closed, it took over 2 hours to get served and when the bill came was wrong. Something to definitively improve

    Cozy restaurant albeit a little cool inside. Service and food were fantastic. Portions were large and decent vegan options. Will go again!

    The food was as amazing as ever but there was a food tasting event taking place and there weren’t enough staff. So it took an hour and 15 minutes for us to even get our drinks!

    Yummy! MoMo dumplings were so tasty. The servings were generous. The traditional plate is nicely presented. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
