We set out for sushi, but thanks to the rain and no waiting, we ended up here. My well traveled sister ordered a variety of yummy dishes for us to share. Super nice wait staff. Good food, a lil pricey per serving.

Very fast service. The restaurant is HUGE. they were quite full for mothers day dinner and yet the squeezed us in. In site of a lot of orders and a busy restaurant we were attended to quickly and courteously. Fresh, well presented, adequate portions. the only bad part is we couldn't stay longer to try more dishes. Definitely coming back.... More

The restaurant is really conveniently located if you are staying in the downtown area. I liked the wide selection of different Asian-style dishes - there was a mix of Indian, Thai, and Chinese flavors that melded together really well. Our table had a larger party so we selected a bunch of small plates and shared and everything we had was... More

We were looking for a take-out restaurant near our hotel and weren't disappointed. The service was pretty fast and the food was pretty good. They had a dish that I don't think many people see on Thai restaurant menus: Rama Setu. It's a red curry dish with eggplant, lemongrass tofu, sweet potato, daikon, red onion and curry leaf. It was...

A very Nice Asian restaurant with a large variety of Asian dishes, all served in a "Family size" fashion with the Whole Group sharing what's being served. Similar to how yo eat in restaurants in China for example. We had lampchops, Seven-spice beef and duck and they were all delicious. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Great selection of Thai and Vietnamese foods just right for when you need something a bit spicy and flavoured like back home.

We came here for a business dinner. The food was delicious - we had a variety of starters and main dishes, among them tuna tartar, duck and scallops all of which were wonderful. I loved the combinations of ingredients, herbs, sauces and spices. We also had wonderful wine, a Columbia Valley Chardonnay L'Ecole 2011, very recommendable. I liked the atmosphere... More
