We dined there previously with old menu that were full of vegetarian dishes. Most of them have been removed from the current menu, however the chef and service staffs were going above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made it such a pleasant night for us. We highly recommend to everyone!

This is the 2nd time we have had the Feed Me menu for $69 per person which has an abundance of mouthwatering deliciousness on every single plate . Definitely does not disappoint. Such great value for money. Unfortunately due to rent increase, we were told that they were closing down and Saturday is the last day. So sad. So get there asap!!
