"My boyfriend and I really enjoy the bentos at this restaurant, and we often order O2 Valley. The #K3 Grilled Taiwanese Sausage is the best I have tried in the area. However, the #H1 Cold Noodle with Sesame Sauce is terrible, and it is outrageous that they charge $16 for it. This is why I am deducting a star from my review."

"Not sure where to start on this review, overall it was a disappointing experience. We were super excited to have afternoon tea, my daughter wants to go to England on our next trip. Let's start with the tea: we chose earl gray, black with peach and peppermint. The best was the earl gray however they refill your tea (add water to the pot) and none of the teas even got half the flavor as the first round. One thing I am going to disagree with on most other reviews is theluxury upgrade was worth it, the sliders were amazing. The rest of the snacks were overall a let down. The sandwiches were smoked salmon and ham/cheese and the bread was quite dry especially towards the edges. It would have been great tostart with a lighter, fresher sandwich (cucumber for example) as overall the food was heavy. The scones were good but nothing special. The pastries were the best of the experience but none that I would make a trip over for. Lots ofpotential but not worth the cost."

"I made a reservation with open table for PM. I had to leave by PM to go somewhere else. We arrived and check in at PM, the host told us we would be seated in minutes and confirmed that we want to sit inside as we had written on the reservation. We waited for minutes and then went back inside at the correct time of the reservation. The response from the host was to wait minutes more. We then sat outside and waited, when the host finally came out it was PM and he began to walk us to the outside area, to which we said we had requested inside (and had discussed in person with the host at The host told us it would be more minutes. By the time we got to sit down to a table we had already been at the restaurant for minutes! The host ended up seating us outside at PM and I had to leave by PM. By the time we began ordering it was already All in all I think that the reservation was not taken seriously which is a huge defect in how this restaurant is ran. We told the server that we were in a rush and he was able to get us in and out by although we avoided ordering certain items that we knew would take longer."

"I was craving Mediterranean/halal food and I'm happy that I stumbled upon this restaurant while browsing thru Yelp. We ordered beef shawarma fries, half beef half chicken combo, and half chicken shawarma half butter chicken combo. The portions here are huge and hefty and they definitely don't skimp out here which is a plus! However, I wish they offered bigger plates or maybe sauces on the side to prevent overflow lol. The pita bread was nice and soft and the hummus was nice and fresh. I enjoyed their white sauce too which paired well with the meats. The salad gave a bit of a light citrus flavor which balanced out the whole meal. The meats were all cooked well and weren't dry. I encountered great service and was even offered 15% our bill if you follow the restaurant on Instagram! As for the ambiance, this place has a few booth tables to sit at and two TV's for entertainment. They even have nice cold complimentary water for those who dine in as well."

"I spent $60+ on these (soda for scale, not included). It's not much food for 60 dollars. I got a chicken tikka masala (have to order rice separately), chicken 65, tandoori mono, and garlic naan.The momo is tasty, it's just smaller than I thought for the price.The tikka masala is okay. Just like any other places.The garlic naan is not good. It's barely warm, and quite tough. I picked it up 25mins after I called so it should be fresh and hot.The chicken 65 is awful. It tastes like being left in the kitchen for 2 days. It's dry and stale, and completely flavorless, it's chicken 65, it's supposed to be very flavorful and spicy. I am quite disappointed.Overall: small portions and quite expensive for mediocre food. If you wanna go, maybe just stick with its name and order momos only."
