The food was really good! I went for happy hour and got to try five different things and got the cocktail special. Something about the cocktail didn’t taste right but all of the food was really really delicious and well prepared. Don’t really have any notes on any of the food. The standout menu items were the potatoes on the happy hour, The spicy noodles were amazing, And the French toast is a must try!

Ordered the potatoes from the happy hour menu and French toast as starters. The potatoes were decent and the sauce was delicious. Massive standout was the French toast. It was insane. Mochi filling between layers, crusted in coconut and fried. Crispy outer, warm soft, sweet inner. It was bomb Had Tom yum noodles and the char siu for the mains and the char siu was nutty good. Somehow the pork was tender to the point it was like the consistency of bread. Just absolutely on point. Crispy skin and soft, soft inside. Was fantastic. I couldn't get enough. The Tom yum was also delicious, noodles were perfect amount of firm and chewy and the sauce was amazing. They gave us some pickled vegetables as a consolation for the Tom yum being late due to going to the wrong table and those were fantastic too. Perfect pallate cleanser. A little loud but could still hold a conversation. I think it was the guests and not the design of the place. Small place but not overly cramped. They did a good job with not stuffing too many tables inside.
