Fantastic food and friendly service. Will be going back again for sure. Shared plates are full of flavour and well presented.

Great place for some delicious cocktails and plates to share. The chicken was to die for! We will back again for Cocktails this weekend 😋 Very dog friendly, our dog enjoyed laying in the shade as we had our lunch.

Molly and her team gave my family and I a wonderful meal on my last night in Christchurch! The food was stunning and the team were able to adjust the spice levels on certain dishes to meet our table's needs. I've also never seen the garnish on a cocktail be so well plated and put together - it looked flawless and really made me feel like I was treating myself! The energy in the restaurant was great, all the other guests looked happy and all the team on shift were clearly passionate about what they do. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to the city :)

So many vegetarian options on the menu. The share platters we tried were delicious. The plated cocktail I had was delicious, will definitely be coming back.

My partner and i have been here multiple times and had nothing but a great experience. They are super accommodating if you have a dog and the staff are fantastic. The food here is super casual dining but excellent food and they have wicked selection of drinks. Would recommend this place for anyone who loves a excellent casual dining spot!

Scrumptious! That's the word to describe the food. First time here and we will be back. We had the hummus & prawn salad, pork dumplings, fried tofu, they were super yum. They even manage to turn something as simple as edamame beans into a fantastic experience.

Great atmosphere and food! We've been meaning to check this place out and managed to this past week. The tofu was amazing, my son who normally isnt a tofu fan even enjoyed it. Everything was served beautifully, Efc was great also! We will be back for sure

We visited this location for the first time, loved the atmosphere and the venue looked like it would be great for a wedding or special event. Our waitress was lovely, I didn't catch her name but she was very helpful and knowledgeable. The food was good, perhaps not great - we had the Pork Belly Fried Rice and the EFC (Evil Fried Chicken). These were both "large" (perhaps standard is a more suitable description), and at $26 and $28 respectively. The chicken was lovely and hot, but the salt seasoning, I think the Chef went too heavy and there were a few pieces where my mouth burned as the salt was too strong. Unfortunately, there were a few "out of" meals so our choices were limited for the "large" options. Unsure at this stage if we would re-visit, given there are many other asian-fusion options throughout Christchurch which offer "wow" factors
