The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

Wanting a restaurant that is friendly for people who are gluten-free Chocolate Buddha's modern Japanese menu was perfect - it even lists all their gf dishes separately. The food was wonderful - our group enjoyed a range of dishes with the sushi, Korean fried chicken and yakiniku among the favourites. The drinks list including ume and yuzu was interesting and fun. The service was great even on a frantically busy Saturday lunchtime. Can recommend!
