"Absolutely delicious food! Completely different flavours to what we’re used to but goooodness we’ll be back. Tonight’s special of the pork and prawn fried rice (?) was our favourite by a long shot. We’d come back just for that. Kimchi bao buns? Ramen? Incredible. Great food. Great fast service. Across the board fab."

"Food was beautiful. I loved the soft shell crab bao. I had beef and turmeric dumplings, but wasn't a fan as the turmeric was over powering. But great menu. Would definitely come back for more on the menu. Staff was excellent and kept checking on us."

"Always enjoy our meals here. Nice and hot and spicy with a fair share of chillies. Our favourite is the crispy beef, and on our last visit we tried the takoyaki with the dancing tuna flakes. This was quite an experience. Sides of rice were a bit pricey."

"Food was really nice and the waitress was lovely. Great variety and the drinks were tasty too. Was a little pricey and soon added up as was tapas style (sharing plates). Would go back but only for special occasions"
