Seriously a must see restaurant if you live in or visit Sydney , amazing food which won't break the bank. The food leaves you content. Nothing but goodness and quality. The service is amazing , Kiren the manager is such a great host. I for one will come back again and again . Everything is recommended and it's all so well prepared and succulent.

I recently visited this place after 5 years and was glad to see it still around! It's got a lovely ambience and delicious selection of drinks. Nice for a relaxed date night. Their lunch time menu used to make me come in as a regular! (most likely still the same)

Really great food! Miso eggplant was incredible. One bite beef was delicious. We sat in the Dungeon section downstairs which was kinda cool, while the decor was nice I didn’t find the carved wooden bench or small tables comfortable but that was only one of the settings there in the corner. Great selection of delicious food, would recommend!

I paid around $22 for this cocktail.. pretty much just a glass of foam 🙈🙈🙈 sad times. I can't get over it. Food was nice but you can't charge those prices for drinks and deliver something that looks like this to the table.

Step into three levels of Japanese inspired decor and pop culture kitsch adorned across the walls, ceilings and pretty much every nook and cranny. With 90s rap reverberating throughout the venue, it’s a festive vibe. The Xiao Long Bao, steamed dumplings, and pork buns are divine. Do not leave here without ordering one of the above! The edamame with garlic & pepper was quite special so make sure to add these to your order as well 🤤 Friday late lunch is a great time to dine here. The place wasn’t busy so we had the place practically to ourselves!
