    We had such a lovely waitress, she really catered to our every need - even gave us a lamp to help us get the right pic of our beautiful food! Food and drinks were lovely - special shoutout to the chicken and egg fried rice, magnificent! I'll be back for that alone!

    It was my first time in Minoa and it was great. The food was tasty and promptly served, the service was good. Loved the sushi and chicken bao buns. The staff is very friendly. One thing to mention is some waitresses chewing gum while serving, that’s probably the only thing that wasn’t great on the night:) other than that will be coming back and letting friends know about this place. Xx

    Great looking place Music not sure of its identity , plates put on table cold. Food was good , service very poor Waited 15 minutes to be asked if we wanted drinks served drinks 10 minutes later. The place was quite empty so not sure how they would cope if busy. I hope they get it right.

    First time going. The decor is really lovely and inviting. The waiters need training on how to handle food when placing on table. The seating isn’t the most comfortable. The food was ok but it wasn’t amazing. The curry was too salty and the calamari was just full of batter and no fish. The drinks were lacking alcohol. Overall I think it’s over priced for the food. The music at one point was too loud and the levels kept fluctuating which was really annoying as you couldn’t chat to hear the other person.
