   Great food & ambience in great location in Galway. Extensive menu with great choices for vegan/vegetarians. Would happily return and recommend to others for a quiet dinner or a group event.

   This is my second visit this week. After having a great meal here with some work colleagues I decided to take my family back for a Friday night treat. We were seated promptly, but it was just inside the main entrance door. As people entered and left, there was an icy breeze coming right in our direction. It was so bad that I asked the staff member if we could move table, but they said they didn’t have any spare. There were other free tables but reaerved with nobody yet seated on them. Food arrived really quickly and was absolutely delicious, I couldn’t fault anything about it. The waitress was super apologetic throughout but it put a shadow on our family meal. There is another door which was previously used as the main entrance but that is closed but still there, they should really consider reverting back to using that door as the side entrance makes it very uncomfortable for diners. No offer of a discount was offered, so we paid full price for a meal while we had a cold breeze through the whole event.

   This is by far the best restaurant in Galway. We’ll be back!

   Absolutely loved this restaurant! The staff are all so lovely, kind and attentive. The food is amazing, so fresh and big portions so you won’t leave hungry!! I had a non-alcoholic cocktail that was gorgeous. They have a vegan menu which is delightful to see, as someone who is dairy free- I have to have vegan options available to me otherwise I can’t eat so this was so nice to see! It’s amazing value for money, I haven’t a bad word to say about the place :) I will definitely be returning here!

   The food was pretty average if even that… must have been the worst dumplings and bao buns I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The Singapore Noodles was slobby and didn’t taste like much. All we could taste with the duck was sugar. Nothing authentic about the cuisine. The drinks were fabulous however. Staff was nice but not very attentive.

   Overall food not great. Very sweet, overpowering flavours. A lot of our food was not consumed. Service friendly but not very attentive at all.

   We found this gem of a place 2 years ago and travel from sligo to eat here. The staff are lovely, the athmosphere is peaceful and calm. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children, the menu is easy to read and has a good choice. The dumplings are a firm favourite we enjoyed the platter. Having a variety was nice. Its lovely to go to a restaurant where the food is really fresh, its light but very tasty and great value for money. 5 starters, 4 main courses, drinks for 119 euro. Compared to what we normally pay this to us is great value for money. Looking forward to our next meal there.

   The food and service was good but you must tell them exactly what you want otherwise you never know what you are going to get.

    Fantastic food at reasonable price. Slow to be seated and order not taken properly resulting in correct food not being brought to table however this was quickly corrected.
