A very interesting menu, and a great location in the midst of Chinatown. Most of the dishes were very flavorful, but a couple of the meat-focused appetizers could’ve benefited from less cooking time and more seasoning. Would return.

Food came at all different times. Wine we ordered was unavailable and we had to upgrade. They were out of prawns which was disappointing. One dish was really hot and spicy. The leftovers were delicious for lunch.
