My wife and I stopped here for lunch while staying in the area for a weekend getaway. The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent all around! We sat outside, tried a craft beer and ordered a trio of appetizers to share. We had the mango salad with chicken, gyoza, and crab rangoon. All of the food was just perfect, fresh and tasty. As you can see by the last pic, we polished everything off. We will be back for sure, thank you!

Been wanting to experience this place for a long while. Was not disappointed! This place is phenomenal! Amazing beyond words. The flavours with each dish were incredible and well executed. Service was friendly, professional and welcoming. Love the vibe and Kevin’s story. Will be back! Thank you everyone for a wonderful evening out celebrating!

I stopped for lunch here yesterday while out-and-about on my own and when I realized it a small restaurant, I asked if it was okay to get a table for one. Absolutely no problem. My server was fantastic. She made a suggestion for me based on my preferences and it was divine. Between the amazing food and incredible service, I hardly felt like I was dining alone.What a great find!

One of the nicest food spots I've been to in Niagara. I tried the jerk chicken which was good, definitely on the spicy side - not a bad thing. The Caribbean rice was a little bland for my taste but complimented by the other parts of the dish. Prices were fair and service was good, we'll be back again. I'd recommend booking a table as there isn't a whole lot of seating in the colder months.

Went for lunch with my grandparents. Ordered the chimichanga with a side salad. Came with salsa and sour cream on the side. Salsa was homemade, refreshing and delicious. Chimichanga was fantastic. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Service was awesome as well. Our waiter was attentive and kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. Would definitely go again and absolutely recommend the Chimichanga.The patio was spacious as well, loved the vibe of the place.(My grandpa got the Drunken Noodles with shrimp and really enjoyed it. My grandma got the Pad Thai and said the mild was very spicy, so keep that in mind if you’re ordering something here with spice.)

I was really excited to try this place the dishes sounded super appealing. I arrived and the restaurant had a nice vibe , the outdoor patio and the seating were very nice.We placed our orders and were happily waiting for our food. That is where it all went downhill. Food took an hour to arrive , which I was astounded at, as the dish was basic rice and chicken chopped up, should at no point take an hour to arrive to the table.Our server literally came and took our order initially and then we didn't see her for about 45 minutes. We tried to flag her a few times and a few times she made direct eye contact but kept ignoring us and didn't come to the table. When she did finally come , she asked if I wanted another drink.Most restaurants who keep you waiting an hour for a basic dish, would at the very least offer some sort of appetizer due to the long wait. Nope, just offered more alcohol and then told us our order should arrive shortly.The food finally came and I was very underwhelmed. The chicken was overcooked and dry, there was no depth to the flavour, just soy sauce flavouring. I don't know if it's because I come from an area with diverse cuisine and I know better, but this wasn't it. I would probably not recommend at this point and was pretty disappointed.
