AI Summary

Buzzy CBD Asian fusion with crayfish dumplings, dry-aged duck, and standout cocktails.

Stylish, mood-lit, buzzy CBD share-plates room with an open kitchen counter. polished and photogenic, though a few reviewers find the service tone more formal than warm.

Open kitchen counter seating to watch the chefs work, a private function space (the Pickle Room), staggered small-plate 'Lucky Dip' set menus, and an extensive cocktail list.

A modern, chef-driven pan-Asian fusion menu spanning Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese influences rather than a single-heritage claim; one critical reviewer felt it read more as a westernised, tourist-facing take on Asian food than an authentic one.

Most reviewers call the set 'Lucky Dip' menus (around $70-105pp) strong value for the amount of food, though several found portions small and pacing slow for the price point.
