The venue was really great. I had been looking forward to going however I was disappointed with the food. The food was stated as spicy & it was not spicy at all even after buying the additional housemade sauce. The tofu chip's were good & well seasoned. The tofu dumplings, I opted for fried. The wrappers were very thick & heavily seasoned with five spice. The tofu salad was disappointing as we were expecting tofu but it was fake soy meat. I'm not overly keen on this & the flavour seasoned the entire dish I would not go again but I know a lot of vegans enjoy their food. Just not for me with all the fake soy meat.
2023 update had a pork belly wrap for take away-was actually delightful super scrumptious. The soft shell crab was sadly underwhelming and made me a feel a bit yuck. Think I’d have to go again to see consistency but probably not something I’d choose to go unless really craving it! The staff who served as was super lovely and helpful, bought us tea to keep warm and a scoop of popcorn. This is a really cute place for a late night meal and gathering with friends, but the uniqueness of the meal in my opinion could be found in other places. Ordered the lychee pork with coconut rice. Pork is chewy yet tender with good flavor and the outside is crispy which really earns brownie points from me. However there was an underwhelming proportion of lychee-I only had a measly two pieces-but it was flavorful, very sour. There were also pieces of potato thrown in which tasted like mushy fries. The coconut rice also wasn't as coconut-y as I hoped. There was a slight essence, but it just wasn't enough for me to render it as 'coconut rice'. Overall though, underwhelmed. This was just a fancier sweet and sour pork to be honest, I wasn't blown away, but the proton size for the price is decent. 3/5
Love that there are so many vegetarian/vegan options and alternatives here! Perfect spot for a group with a mixture of dietary needs. Their vegan lychee pork was so strong in flavour, sour sweetness of the lychee was paired with some hash bites which was a first for us. The vegan beef and kimchi dumplings were okay, a bit on the salty side for us. The vegan popcorn chicken was delicious with the sweet chilli sauce.
First time dining here and I left with good first impression. The popcorn chicken was so good and have to admit that I was craving it the next day. Dumplings were also tasty and I'd order this again as well. I ordered the spicy fish bao and I feel like that was an error on my part - the heat was pretty intense and even though it didn't last I've never been a fan of the type of heat that overtakes all the other flavours of a dish. The type of fish used was also underwhelming. I'd certainly not order this bao again however, this isn't enough to put me off eating here again! I'll be going back for the popcorn chicken and dumplings and looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.
What we ordered: - Pork Belly Bao $11 - Soft Shell Crab bao $11 We came here specifically to get the bao and I was so pleased. They were absolutely stuffed full of filling, they were so generous, especially with the bao being only $11 each. My favourite was the soft shell crab and it says a lot about the place because I don't even like seafood. The crab was crispy and so flavourful with a sweet sauce and these little crispy chip-like things that were just so good. The spinach bao bun was soft and fluffy and they weren't shy with the coriander, which I love. It wasn't the most traditional but it just tasted amazing! The pork belly was also really good, it was slightly more simplistic and reminded me of my favourite Chinese dishes my mum would cook. While I don't think the pork was as good as the crab, both were still amazing and I definitely want to go back because I am so curious about the litchi pork! Also I love the Keanu Reeves bathroom
Love, love LOVE! Staff are always so amazing. The food is always fantastic. Vegan options that I can head straight into a food coma. Love this place!
It was great Chinese fusion cuisine. The shop is clean, look nice. Quite busy at night time. The prices is not bad. A bit expensive when compared with food position. Overall, it is great. 22 Jul 21
Atmosphere was great, place was clean and tidy. Staff super friendly. Food was good but super expensive.
Love coming here! Such good food and it's so quick to come out! There are so many vegan options on the menu it's amazing!! The vegan popcorn chicken was great. There's also something about the broccoli that is so yum. Vegetarian options: Heaps of vegan options!!
Enjoyed my time here. The food was good and surprisingly filling. I just ordered the classic lychee pork belly. It does kind of feel like chinese takeaway plated nicely.. at least what I ordered did. In any case, I had a good experience - good food, service, venue. Recommend :
