This place has a great lunch menu which my workmates and I love. Good portions, quiet atmosphere, which is what you want for lunch and the food is delicious. I recommend the yellow rice with beef rendang, and the fried rice. The staffs are friendly and its ok to split the bill.

I went here last week with my workmates for a girls night out. The ambience was great, along with the music, and the funky crowd. We ordered a few tapas for dinner, have to say that was disappointed that there are not much choices for dinner. However, the roasted pork tapas with pickles on the side was very delicious, and melt in your mouth.

The waiting staffs are very friendly and always made sure our table had lots of bread to go with our meal. We ordered a few cocktails and wine to drink. The cocktail mixes are not perfected yet, I had the grapefruit cocktail, which tasted a bit too sour with a generous slosh of rum. I would say needs more practice on the cocktail mixes.

Would recommend anyone to come for a nice relaxing drink, and chill out. Don't come for the meal as theres not much and its a bit expensive too.

Its probably one of the busiest Yum Cha place in the city, however, I would say that the food is quite average. The bbq pork buns are always just a bit undercooked and the dough hasn't quite risen when its served. The custard tarts are also always uncooked. Hasn't rocked my world or anything, however, I haven't stopped coming here because its conveniently located and it seems to be the first choice of my co-workers.

This is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants. The ambience is great! the service is excellent! and the food.... ooh so yum! we always walk away very full and satisfied. I have booked 2 dinners so far with 15 or more guests and we are always accommodated very well. They run happy hour from 6.30pm I think with cheap jugs of Japanese beers with a bowl of prawns. Our favourites are the sizzling wagyu beef, bento meals, grilled squid, and the best green tea ice cream around! I also rate the sashimi platter for the freshest fish you would have.

This is one of our fave place to eat as a Manly local. Food is priced reasonably, portion is good, atmosphere is good, makes you feel like you are in a real Japanese eating house. Staffs are japanese too. I don't really believe the other comments about bad service, they tend to get busy but we are always accommodated and food is always served promptly.

The staffs give you plenty of space to take your time ordering and the head chef is a friendly man who occasionally finds the time to smile and ask how everything while he is cooking. Have to try this place for value and taste.
