✨ HighlightAbsolutely amazing food. The menu is able to cater to myriad dietary requirements. Cocktail and wine list are great (with some interesting takes on established cocktails). We did the "Feed Me now* lunch... Which was a massive amount of food (for a great price!) Service was efficient and really friendly. We decided to sit outside (we didn't book, and it was a nice day). Outside table are not greatly comfortable, but is always fun to watch to passing croud. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!→

✨ HighlightThe food was absolutely delicious. Delicious! We had the rice paper rolls, vermicelli salad and the curry. This food was special. The flavors in the curry were so rich. The vermicelli salad was fresh and light. We really appreciated being seated despite not having a booking. We were seated outside on the sidewalk. It was a little noisy and people would be super close to our table as they walked by. I think that anything you get here will be delicious; however, book ahead so that you can have a better table than we had.→

✨ HighlightFound this place through a random google search. Visited in February. Personally the food dint meet the hype at all, very dull. The ambience was a bit overpowering to our liking. Service was nice Re-edit: I understand ambience is personal, that was my perspective and that’s what I mentioned. Thanks for your alternative👍🏻 The review is from 8 months ago, because somehow my earlier review disappeared.→
