    If you're looking for the perfect date night spot, look no further! This place is a hidden gem. We were treated to five courses of absolutely delicious food, each one more amazing than the last. The cozy and intimate ambiance made it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. And the cherry on top? At just $49 per person during the week, it's an unbeatable value. We will definitely be returning—highly recommend

    Cocktails were great. Cheeseburger spring rolls were on point. KFC was really good. The Sui Mai and the Bao were okay. Not my fav but enjoyable enough. More than anything the banter with the waiters/waitresses was created a really fun experience. Would be keen to give it another go and do the feed me menu next time.
