  • "Poor service politely mentioned that the sake at 7.50 each was served cold they done nothing about it and just shrugged their shoulders."

Ambience

Pros:

  • "The venue is an old firestation."
  • "The location of this branch as well is lovely and in the old fire station, keeping a lot of the old aesthetics."

  • "The space itself is lovely, really open."

Cons:

  • "The old fire station building gave me an odd feeling and I appreciate some may like it but to me it didn't feel like I'm in a restaurant at all."
  • "Although it wasn't too crowded, a loud group of guests made the whole experience a little less enjoyable."
  • "The acoustics of the place didn't help the problem either."
  • "It's quite hard to get the attention of the waiting team being stuck in a table at the very back end of the restaurant."
  • "NEVER 👎🏻👎🏻 GO TO THIS PLACE staff was ignoring us and the food was also cold and took forever."
