This is one of our new favorite places!! This was our second time going to this restaurant...we loved the food the first time so much that we chose this restaurant a second time. The garlic noodles are amazing, the favorite dish of everything we've tried! We also had the coconut beef stew which was good, but not “wow” good. But the garlic noodles with chicken was definitely wow good! My husband had the turmeric cocktail and I had a gin martini. Decent ish prices for ....

Stopped in for a late lunch before heading to the airport. We had some spring rolls and Samosas as apps, both were delicious. We split an entree of the roasted garlic noodles with chicken, also very tasty. We were able to find a parking spot less than a block from the restaurant, nominal fee for street parking, coins or card only.

Super cute and really great food. They use a robot to bring food to tables, and only 2 people for entire front of house so service was not superb but also was not bad. We had several dishes and every single one was amazing. Highly recommend the tea leaf salad and the coconut noodles. Drink, both cocktails and mocktails, were good. Good for a date night a small group of friends. Would not recommend for large groups as the restaurant is quite small.
