Excellent cuisine! The fried chicken is delicious and absolutely worth trying. The bao buns are also very tasty. The only downside is that the space is quite small, and the wall hooks for coats aren’t ideally placed—when they’re full, they can be a bit uncomfortable and get in the way. Aside from this minor issue, the overall experience is fantastic. The flavors are authentic, and the dishes are well-prepared. Friendly and attentive staff make the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal in a cozy setting!

Interior of this place never disappoints, small but very cute. It is pricey but the food is filling and delicious. Very surprised with the aubergine, thought it wouldn’t be that nice but absolutely loved the flavours.

Service is quick and very helpful from when you come in and when you leave too. Beautiful staff

Delicious baos. We tried quite a few; favorites ones were the classic and fried chicken. The lemonade with milk foam was also amazing! We queued up by giving phone number and 15 minutes later got texted with available table. Very smooth and nice process

Tight quarters but quick service. Nice server in middle for conversation if you’re willing. Food came out very fast. Bao buns were delicious and the drink selection was great. Would come back

The lunch set is a nice way to sample 3 different dishes. I liked the pickled and grilled mushrooms. It was perfect if you don’t want something heavy. It had a nice sweet and slightly pickled flavor which paired well with the smokiness from the grill. The confit pork bao was a bit dry and it was lacking flavor. I was expecting rich pork flavors but it was subtle and there wasn’t too much sauce on top. The rice bowl had simple flavors as well.
