As many people have already mentioned, the atmosphere is funky and ambitious, and you’re instantly drawn into the vibe the moment you walk in. Having said that, the first impression wasn’t great. A 3% tip is automatically added unless you ask for it to be removed, which feels a bit awkward, and it comes across as semi mandatory rather than optional.
Now, onto the food and service, which really make or break a night out. We ordered five dishes and two mocktails. Unfortunately, about half of the dishes were overly salty, so we went through our tap water and mocktails very quickly. The waiter walked past our table several times and even asked if we wanted to order more mocktails, but didn’t offer to refill our tap water. It was only refilled when we were already getting ready to leave.
Food wise, the green curry stood out in a good way, the meat was tender and well cooked. The rest of the dishes, however, felt a bit overrated and didn’t quite live up to the hype. Service also felt lacking. The staff all seemed very busy, and even when we made eye contact with one of the waitress, she still walked past without checking in.
Overall, the place has a great vibe and one decent standout dish, but the awkward tipping policy, overly salty food, and inattentive service took away from the experience. It has potential, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for us this time.
