    So many tasty options on the menu - this place is perfect to share and sample different things. Our fave was the chicken bao, absolutely delicious! The ambiance is great, would love to come back for happy hour. Great for dinner with friends.

    Amazing restaurants, I wish we had something even half as good where we’re from. Decor and ambiance were 100% my style/vibe. The staff was amazing and the food was DELICIOUS! Best Tuna sashimi I’ve ever had (and such gorgeous plating), the dumplings were a great combo of flavours and melded together perfectly and hanger steak also great. Oh and if your stomach is still recovering from the horrible food you ate at the pub the previous night (avoid Union 613 at all cost lol), I’d recommend starting things off with “The cleanser” cocktail, it was delicious and cream, it actually helped smooth my belly aches. I would go back in a heartbeat!!

    Fantastic food in s gorgeous venue. We love plate sharing but we felt a bit rushed: 2-3 plates delivered at once with very little time between the next set of small plates. But this would not deter me from going back.
