Stopped in for a dinner and were quite lucky to nab a table cause it was at near full capacity when we walked in. Special rooms on the side as well for big groups. Lots of tables on the ground floor but noticed a staircase to one side where they also have upstairs dining options. It doesn’t feel too crowded either with cool Asian-​inspired wooden partitions between the tables of various sizes.
Water or green tea options to sip while you look at the menu or waiting for food. We were craving a spicy and sweet sauce dish and sadly they had run out of beef– must be popular, but we got a large plate with pork instead. Loved how the outside batter was still very crunchy and a little airy instead of soggy with too much sauce. A great dark sauce lined on the bottom to dip in with some threads of vegetables. Went well with the side dishes of onion pieces, pickled yellow radish and black sauce.
To combat the cold we got the spicy vege and seafood soup with noodle which wasn’t too spicy with a good mix of various things that hail from the sea. We also got the stir fry of sliced squid and sea cucumber with rice for something a bit different. Spied others dumplings while waiting– must try later. Especially so you don’t have to wait hungry for the mains. We had to wait a while but they were busy and apologetic.
Great food, recommend if you feel like Asian cuisine
