Ni made was our server and she made my birthday lunch a wonderful experience 💖💖 Amazing food and amazing atmosphere 🫶🏻

I went with my daughter I ordered sweet corn & chicken soup, which was mediocre, beef udon, we couldn’t eat, sea bass Japanese, which was good. The chef selection Dumplings was way below average, the only thing stood out was the dynamite shrimps. The lady who served us is fantastic. I must say the ambience is fantastic, but the food is not. That was my first and last time. I can’t see this place would last long.
