Een heel leuk restaurantje, lekker eten. Gisteren 16/07 onvriendelijke bediening jammer genoeg. Normaal zijn ze er heel vriendelijk.

I had high expectations after reading the positive comments, but left a bit dissapointed. First, the cocktails were amazing, those were a 10/10. But the food was rather dissapointing… the portions were very small for the pricepoint. The noodles rather dry and not that much flavour. The fried platter was so good, no complaints, but again small portion. The kimchi, which is a staple was again a mini-portion and bot that impressive. We spent close to a 100€ and sorry but it was not worth it for the price.
