Went for dinner there with my wife on a Friday afternoon. The place doesn't accept reservations, so it's first come, first served. Once I got there, I was welcomed in by one of the hosts and shown to the table my wife had already got. The food and drinks menus were already on the table. It took us a bit to decide what to get, and luckily our host was able to make some good recommendations. We had 2 starters: edamame beans and salt & pepper pork ribs. For mains, we went with beef noodles, pork belly, fried beef strips and king prawn rice. We thoroughly enjoyed most of the foods. The only recommendation we'd have is for the beef strips to have less cornstarch on them. They were very crunchy, but we couldn't really taste the beef flavour. During our meal we also got a checkback, which was appreciated. Overall a very good experience and we'll definitely be coming back here.
