    Excellent food and atmosphere but every time we go we always feel rushed to eat and leave - wish the service was a bit more relaxed

    Food was ok, not as interesting as hoped. We had specifically booked a standard height table for our large group well in advance, but the manager requested last minute that we give it up for another large group with accessibility problems. Of course we agreed because we wanted to be considerate, but really the restaurant should have planned better by not double booking two large groups for standard seating. High table seating was very uncomfortable for our large group, and a free app/dessert would have been a nice gesture for them making us give up our reserved table 15 minutes before the reservation. If we had known it was high table seating, we wouldn't have reserved there in the first place. The food wasn't amazing enough for a return visit.

    The food here is out of this world. In particular, don't miss the Tapioca Dumplings which are probably the best thing you have ever eaten. There are no wrong choices on the menu, the coconut sorbet is absurdly creamy and the pandan sauce is my favorite ice cream topping. The staff is always kind, the mocktails are just as good as their full alcohol cocktails. Our server Savannah was so patient and attentive, it was a lovely experience as always!

    The food is amazing. Great service. The only drawback is the tables for 2 are very small. There was barely any space for drinks and 2 dishes.

    Despite a little mixup with table timing for our large group, once we were seated the service was great! (They made up for it with a comped appetizer.) The rest of the food was delicious! The bill turned out to be quite reasonable as well, would definitely recommend!
