Very hip, cool modern Asian that awesome in many ways. For two people, two smaller plates were more than enough. Salt and pepper eggplant and papaya salad (we ordered vegetarian option) were absolutely delicious. And the fabulous alcohol infused lychee tea drink (served in a teapot) was good value and refreshing on a hot night.
