   Always great! A never fail menu for me. Really tasty and only wish we ordered more and didn’t get rushed out. Party of 6 and only had the table for an hour and 45. We could have order double the food and triple the drinks if we’re able to stay on longer. However, will happily return again.

   We did the bottomless brunch for my birthday and were disappointed with the level of service, we told them it was for a special occasion yet nothing was done about this. The service of drinks was extremely strict and they even counted soft drinks as part of the ‘number of drinks on the table’ which meant we couldn’t order more alcoholic drinks. The food was really good so would just recommend going for food and not bottomless and continually asking for drinks became tedious and I expected better service considering they knew it was my birthday

   We ordered 4 dishes, but it's our fault we didn't hear when the waiter repeated the order. So we asked about our 4th dish, we said if it's not on his list of what he read out to put it through as we still wanted it. We waited for a good 20 minute thinking he had put it through so we asked again how long it would be which reminded him to come back to us, but he came back letting us know he looked at the list and it wasn't down. So we waited a good 20 minutes thinking he had put it through to the kitchen! After that we were a little disappointed. Service was slow but we got our other food fast. The staff seemed very rushed and stressed. It's been a few years since I've been back. I was looking forward to a really good variation of dishes. The steamed broccoli was great but should offer bigger portions.

   Had a great dinner here with my daughter. Loved everything we ordered- the Crispy Szechuan Eggplant was delicious as was the Crispy Pork Belly with a sweet fresh slaw. Our server Jordan was prompt, helpful and always there when we needed without hovering. Only down side for me was the noise level- we will be back & book outside which seemed quieter.

   Every dish was delicious. Gigi was an exceptional host. No idea why it took so long to try this place. One of the best meals I’ve had in Melbourne in recent memory.

    Ambience is amazing. Music is too good to be true. Just the right for. But food wasn’t the best. It was very oily and the taste was a bit sweet even for the savoury and chilli dishes. But overall good. Would recommend.
