A real fave for brunch when I’m in Armidale. The service can be a little slow as everything is prepared fresh, but it is always worth the wait!!

So darn delicious. It doesn't just look good in photos, it is actually delectable. My chef partner was drooling over their shiitake mushrooms in the Ramen and could not for the life work out how you got them to be that delicious, settled for it being a trade secret.

The staff are very welcoming and know their craft …

Asian flavours were beautifully balanced & serve sizes …

Yum. The other dish were the edamame and corn fritters. Definitely this had an oriental twist with the addition I think of five spice. Very nice, different but …
