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.

    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    Overall excellent experience… got one of the set menus and a course was missed and brought out after we got deserts and about to leave. Was still happy with everything and given it was Valentine’s Day little things like this can happen

    The food is exceptional. Whilst the staff were very friendly, new dishes kept coming out when empty plates had not been taken away and there was no room on the table. The staff looked at 'us' to move the plates around on the table. It is their job to make sure empty plates are taken away and a clear space made, not ours. But the food was incredible and a great vibe there.

    Food was excellent, we tried many different dishes and all were uniquely prepared. Service unfortunately was very slow with some dishes taking more than 30 minutes.
