I (not one of the vegetarians) would highly recommend the "Crispy Coconut Cups" (a seafood appetizer) and the "Crying Tiger" (beef flank with a spicy sauce). Make sure you get an order of the roti too. The rice was bottomless with our banquet meals--so while I tried to keep room for the meals--the rice was quite good! Our server was nice and funny, not shy of cracking jokes. The seating is quite spacious and there are outside seats too--many of them covered by space heaters and under a shelter during the winter. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping here for dinner. Their "banquet style dining" worked well for us, and the portions ended up being exactly right for somebody who walked in on the slightly hungry side--which also makes their fast service and speedy kitchen helpful!

Absolutely fantastic! We had dinner as a group of 9 (reservation needed) on a Saturday night and it…read morewas so good. Great service and stunning food.

You get to choose 5 plates from the menu and they come out tapas style so a share plate. There are so many great choices on the menu to choose from. But sharing the 5 plates is enough for you to feel satisfied with out being overly full. Every plate was a delight and the accompanying salads were light and refreshing. I especially lives the tempura eggplant dish with the green mango salad with chilli it was delicious. The crying Tiger was also amazing with the wagyu and the spicy citrus dipping sauce. It's to die for as is the sticky pork belly The staff were great they were attentive and happy to explain any part of the menu we were unsure about. Also very friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. I will be back here for sure pity it's so far away for us but it's a good place to look forward to coming back for a great feed.

Also they kept mistakenly bringing food to our table so we got to see a good selection of the menu. We finally settled on the yellowfin tuna roll, pepper calamari, trout with betel leaves, and chicken curry. The tuna spring roll was an interesting twist on the classic prawn roll. It was flavourful when dipped in the sauce but not sure I would order it again. The pepper calamari was by far my favourite. Cooked perfectly, well seasoned and a great dipping sauce to accompany it along with a generous serve. The smoked trout had crispy shallots that paired well with the betel leaves but there was only so much I could eat. Whereas the chicken curry on rice had a great flavour and easy to get more with all the lovely veggies. Their version of the mojito was super refreshing and could have easily ordered another, sat and people watched if we didn't have plans. Convenient location across from the train station, excellent service and a great menu will bring people back often.

While the decor and the service have not changed, the quality of the food certainly has. The dumplings were high quality, with fresh seafood (prawn and crab) inside the thin casings; the peking duck was the highlight, despite the fact they are assembled before they got to the table; the pork and eggplant hot pot wasn't far behind in terms of making you want more; even the fried rice, while a little pricey for the size, was better than average. It seems the more obscure your liking (more traditional), the better it gets. The abalone is on my list for next time! Don't be put off by the look of the place, with quantness comes the ability to BYO, and that is always a bonus.
