    Wagyu Wednesday special was great value! Food tasted great, a bit heavy since all 3 courses was the wagyu then some noodles – would've been nice to have a small salad to share or as an add on option. Service was good, it was quiet since it was an early dinner on a weekday. Not sure if they charged us correctly for our 2 drinks though since it was near the same price as our meals... Also the door was hard to find since it's lowkey disguised as the wall

    Raw tuna in crispy wonton is an outstanding dish - great combination of quality fresh ingredients, flavour & texture. And the fish curry (barramundi?) was again, the result of skilled perfection. The food is exactly WHY we are happy to pay for food, the way it is supposed to be cooked - by people who know what they are doing! Thankyou.
