Went here for a company dinner and it was excellent. We had a private room and the food, drinks and service were 5 stars.

An unforgettable dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the restaurant itself was beautifully designed with a lovely atmosphere. I enjoyed every course they served — each dish was presented beautifully and tasted incredible. I will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to Melbourne.

Excellent service! Held company event there, we had a private dining room. Waiters were attentive, serving speed was good in continuous flow without awkward pause, we were all well fed! Food were all exemplary!! First appetizer (betel leaf prawn) was already a pleasant surprise! Awesome fusion, nice taste with great mix of textures, and just keep getting better throughout the night. The pork belly was the highlight for many of us. Well deserved 5 stars!

Been always wanting to eat here and only got a chance today. We love the rustic asian vibe. We love the pork belly and beef curry. Service and staff were great. I like it that it is not to modern and reminds me of my trips in asian

This place is absolutely worth it! The pork belly was succulent and the perfect balance of tender and sweet. The wagyu beef noodles were heavenly and would definitely order again. Overall, the atmosphere and service were just the cherry on top to this marvellous restaurant. Compliments to the chef and staff as they made this experience so much better! Would 100% recommend!

Excellent quality food, packed with lots of flavour, spice and variety. It’s reasonable value for money when dining as a group. Meals were well presented, staff were excellent and a good relaxed vibe throughout. Well worth a visit.
