It was a wonderful experience - a very nice place, very interesting, beautiful dishes. I found it a little hard to choose because there were no pictures in the menu, but with recommendations from our lovely host, it was overall a pretty great experience.

Fantastic food! We got the $85pp Set Menu and everything was delicious - nice pacing in terms of the pauses between dishes. The mojito and Mocktail with pineapple juice and Yakult foam were both great palate cleansers. We got there unexpectedly early and they accommodated us without any issue - we got started early and finished early. 100% recommend!

The Cantonese food was excellent! Came here with my Chinese family and there were 12 of us. We were given our own area which was private. Food was great and portion sizes were generous. All agreed that we will definitely return. Good value for money and great food!!
