   We had a Sunday lunch booking. Service was good. A quiet restuarant where you can talk. Not busy. Some food was good some OK but definately all food was a bit overpriced. King Prawn dish $45. Dry pork belly was $27. I was hoping for better food and don't mind paying those prices when it is. Maybe some lunch time specials would be good too.

   Four of us enjoyed shared entrees of Prawn Toast, Spring rolls and San Choi Bao. For mains we shared Fried rice, beef in oyster sauce, Honey prawns, Satay chicken and Sweet and sour pork. All meals were fresh and delicious. I particularly liked that the entrees came out one by one with great timing. The drink service was also very good, as previously this may not always have been the case. No room for desert. Although it is not a cheap option, we regularly dine here and like to introduce friends to this amazing food selection.

   Service was great. Crispychicken with chilli and Thai basil was deep fried, a splattering of chilli sauce out of the bottle and 3 crispy Thai basil leaves. Not what I expected ted ! Vegas and dried rice were lovely. Servings are quite large so go hungry !

   Booked a table for Valentine's Day, but the evening was marred by poor service. Staff seemed overwhelmed, zooming past tables without making eye contact. We had to flag down a waitress to order after waiting over 30 minutes, and even then, it took an hour for our designated waitress to take our order (which we'd already placed!). The food was inconsistent - the eggplant sands dish and dumplings were flavorful, but the honey chicken was hard and difficult to eat. Overpriced for the subpar service and average food quality. Hopefully, the restaurant will take steps to improve their service and consistency. But probably won't be returning in the future.
