OUR FOOD
We have created a modern south east Asian cuisine with a Pacific twist accompanied by friendly and professional service. Our menu has been inspired by the Asian culture of sharing great food and telling great stories, so start with a few, then add some more if desired. Our food is also served as it is ready, so please let us know if you would prefer your dishes come altogether.
