    The 3 of us enjoyed our dinner - food was delicious. We chose not to do the $49 dinner option (3 starters, 3 larger meals, 2 sides) and went rogue instead and lucky we did because we didn’t finish what we ordered as the served were generous. The bao and Bahn Mi sliders were a great started. The stir fry pork belly had so much flavour in the sauce and greens - would have again, and the Vietnamese chicken curry was so moorish. Only downside is we were sat outside and the table was on the slope of the walkway - a flat table would have been preferred. 100% recommend and would return.

    Lovely food and good value. Really noisy so difficult to hear each other! Ginger ale was flat and Prosecco was awful… shame as the food is great.

    Food was delicious was service was terrible. Ordered 4 mains, one was brought to us and we waited about 10 min for the other three.. but the server came and took BACK that first dish and gave it to another table!!! Health and safety wouldn't approve. He then brought us another dish that we hadnt ordered. Again, great food but service was so bad i wont go back.
