Great food, service and a lovely atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone visiting Dublin, wanting Asian style tapas. Waitresses were great at recommending how much/what to order and extremely attentive.

Food is delicious. Service can be hit or miss at times. Staff are always lovely but sometimes you can be waiting a good while for your order. Wouldn’t let it stop me from going. Great value.

Really enjoyed our evening out. Very accommodating as we were running a few minutes late . Food was amazing!! Service was great and so were the cocktails. Will definitely be back. A little bit tight for space but wasn’t a big deal. Would have liked to stay longer but the table was booked. Thank you again

Great food and drinks, atmosphere really nice, we were here for our works Christmas party. The only problem was misunderstandings with ordering due to marks or crossed out marks on the order sheet, which is difficult to navigate with a bigger group. Overall fabulous

Had the absolute best time here! Went for my girlfriends birthday with 7 friends, and we were so well looked after! The food is absolutely INCREDIBLE, and the restaurant is so cozy and cute. Also the staff are so so lovely and helpful. I have a gluten intolerance, and we had other guests who were vegetarian and lactose intolerant (nightmare group lol) and we were so well accommodated throughout. The chef even made me my own GF dishes when the bao and dumpings came out, I was so blown away by this and how careful the chef and staff were. Thank you and we'll be back for sure! <3
