Unique dishes, jumbo prawns with garlic noodles were little too salty for my taste but it was delicious. The Ahi tuna was fantastic, nicely presented, atmosphere is very cozy and nice. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The price is little bit high but it was worth it.

We ordered a slow oven roasted pork, fresh prawns spring rolls, vermicelli noodle salad & Lychees martinis. Yum! In addition to the delish food. The staff were very pleasant, attentive and provided us an excellent service! I highly recommend this place.

Delicious food! Portions are smaller but I enjoy them, and they are great to get several and mix and match. Delicious flavors, fast and friendly service and a pretty extensive menu (especially seafood options). Drinks are great too - absolutely recommend this place for gathering with friends.

Came here with a friend and had a legit dinner. The lemongrass chicken was unreal. It had a peanut sauce that was delicious. The chicken wings were a close second. I know what you’re thinking, “If I wanted wings, I’d go to BWW.” These are not those wings. These wings have a flavor touched by the food gods. While the prawns and the tacos were good, they were missing a little something, so I added the sauce from the lemongrass chicken and that did the trick. Overall atmosphere was legit. I’ll def go back.
