Some of the best food we’ve ever had. Cruz was an amazing waiter - attentive, polite, knowledgeable! The tasting box is great - chefs choice which allows you to try many delicious things. The cocktails are also delicious - lots of unusual takes of traditions greats
What a taste sensation! Stunning presentation of food, great service and atmosphere! The decor was funky yet chic. Our waiter, Chau, made excellent suggestions, was engaging and encouraged us to each get a different meal to share. This was a fantastic idea, being able to taste a wide variety! Each dish was unique and delicious.
We dined here as a family of 5 recently (3 adults and 2 children). The experience was great. We had a table outside and enjoyed being outside whilst sitting cocktails and enjoying each others company. The food was very good indeed, especially the pork potstickers. The drinks were well made and the staff were attentive. It was a loved experience and we will visit again on my next trip to Jo’burg.
As an avid Asian food lover this was introduced by a freind. We have now been twice. On both occasions freindly attentive service and delicious food culminating in a Picanya special that was fabulous. Matthew the manager and his staff appreciated our return even remembered my name!
