Food looks beautiful, tastes wonderful. I had the duck with saffron rice with Jasmine tea and everything tasted wonderful. I wanted to give special thanks to the staff, who made me feel comfortable as I was dining alone and everyone else was apparently on a date on Saturday night.

The food was amazing. The first time in a long time that every single dish was 100% devoured. Everything was so savory and the atmosphere was cozy and light. Would recommend a date night.

excellent food and great place for friend gathering. I recommend short rib and duck breast. The crispy pork belly is also terrific

Nice and cozy place near the University area. Just bumped into this while searching for south east Asian cuisine on Google. Definitely worth the 4.8 stars that the reviewers have left.

We waited way too late long to come here. Phenomenal flavors and great service. The Japanese eggplant was worth the trip all by itself.

Excellent experience for us! My husband and I are from Atlanta and we walked in, not knowing that there were set times for us to reserve to eat there. They were understanding and said that we could sit at the bar until the next reserved guest came in. The bar was the best seat in the house because we truly got to talk about food with our server and others around us. We ordered the pea soup, lobster rangoon, pot stickers, cha sui chicken, and the chicken pho. The food was flavorful. Many of the dishes had complex flavors that made you go wow. Our cocktails and mocktail were delicious. This place is worth making a reservation at and you do not want to miss anything that is happening here.

Love this place… a smaller restaurant space with a nice patio. Cute neighborhood with multiple eateries.

Lovely dining experience with cozy and intimate setting – indoor dining space is quite limited but as a result, it feels quite homey. The tamarind ribs appetizer was sinfully delicious and had no right to be that tasty. Easily would order a full slab if available. The catch of the day (barramundi) was much more reserved but equally as delicious. Would recommend for a lovely date night out!

We had a group dinner here. Originally thought I was going to a Malaysian restaurant but this turned out to quite different. The food was quite original and had asian hints but could not be called a Malaysian restaurant. Each dish tasted excellent, and the waiter went into a lot of detail on each item. The specials were told to you verbally and due to the detail I forgot what they were after the first 2 sentences. The helpings were sufficient and the quality made me feel satisfied. The restaurant had an indoor outdoor flow and was situated on a leafy pleasant street. Parking was on the curb but I had no problem finding a space. Would definitely return.

We enjoyed our food! My favorite is lamb shank; the meat is so tender. I also liked the ice cream with sesame seeds and the crispy chicken. The only caveat is that their space is limited – around 3 tables available, there are bar stools too. Make sure you make reservations! The lighting is dim. Perfect for dates!
