I went here last year for dinner during my visit to Brissy. The atmosphere in the back seating area was pretty cute and nice, the food was ok (not bad but could've been better for the seasonings) but I like the gyoza were still juicy. Decent price and portion too :) overall pretty good.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem today with a friend, so glad we popped in for lunch, we had the karage curry lunch special, chicken and cabbage dumplings poached with chilli sauce and the laksa, absolutely every dish was better than I could imagine, I usually am not a fan of curry but the karage curry special was delicious! The dumplings had a beautiful texture and the chilli sauce was to die for! We also shared a sake tasting plate and that was a lovely experience as well for $18 was a great way to taste everything, highly recommend this spot cannot wait for my next visit!

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and great service. Pan fried dumplings with peanut sauce were yum! Came here on my birthday and was given a Tokyo mule, so lovely and tasted so good! It was best cocktail I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend anyone to come check this place out .

Good atmosphere for dinner ,the homemade dumplings can't be resist ! So delicious! Love it the cocktail mojito too! *Look at my empty plates , I even forgot to take pictures before I finished

What a find! The perfect place to fill your belly up with something phenomenal (and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg). The quality is astonishing, with flavorful options blessing your taste buds. To start we thought we could get away with one amazing dish to share between two, and where gladly did… we craved another. The soup dumplings blew my mind. I will absolutely be returning, for the taste, the service, the atmosphere.
