Fabulous as always!! Food and service excellent! Calamari starter was perfect with a delicious dipping sauce. Eggplant with fish sauce yummy 😋. My favorite! Pork belly with vegetables perfect to share as was everything. We had beers to pair - a pale ale and a hefeweizen.

First time eating here. Food was fresh and tasty. Portions are on the smaller side for some dishes. Decor is sterile and tables for 2 are pretty small if you order more than 3 dishes. Doors were open on a chilly night, so we had to ask to move tables because it was too drafty. Big metal doors would slam shut and unnerve us each time. The food is really good, so we will be back. Hope they can adjust the other issues.
