This is some of the best Asian cuisine I’ve had in a long time! Every dish we ordered was outstanding, as were the cocktails. I highly recommend it. My personal favorite was the street food-style Singapore noodles and black pepper prawns.

Great small restaurant serving a diverse range of Southeast Asian cuisine. The appetizers were enjoyable, and the cocktails were well-crafted to complement the dishes. The food was delicious with generous portions. Highly recommended!
