What to Order
Shanghai Style Uni Rice Cake
This dish features perfectly fluffy rice that's crispy on the outside, topped with a generous amount of uni and torched seaweed.
"The star of the show: the Shanghai Style Uni Rice Cake -- with a generous amount of uni, perfectly fluffy rice on the inside, crispy on the outside, and torched seaweed. An absolute showstopper."

French Toast
A savory-sweet and elevated take on French toast, often served with a rich chicken liver mousse and balsamic vinegar.
"I'll be thinking about the French toast for many years to come. All the dishes were so unique and we had lots to talk about with how complex they all were."
Lucas Manou
Marble Cheung Fun
These visually striking black and white rice rolls are filled with roast duck, chutney, and a sesame and peanut emulsion.
"Another standout was the marble cheung fun (rice roll). It came out in colours of black and white (yin and yang) and filled with roast duck, chutney, and sesame and peanut emulsion. Divine!"
Chloe Ip
Mikandai
A dish praised for its complex and memorable flavors, setting a high bar for the rest of the tasting menu.
"The food was stunning from start to finish, but the dish I can’t stop thinking about was the Mikandai. It set the tone for the whole menu and ended up being my favourite bite of the night."
Vee Mationg
Miso Cheesecake
A unique and delicious dessert that balances sweet and savory notes, even appealing to those who aren't typically dessert fans.
"Also had the most delicious dessert Miso cheesecake I am not a sweet tooth but that must be tried. Will be back again for a special occasion for the full tasting menu!"
Paige Webster
Hamachi
A fresh and flavorful dish that showcases the restaurant's care and creativity with quality ingredients.
"We tried several dishes, but the hamachi, hot chicken, and miso cheesecake were our favourites. Every plate showed such care and creativity, with beautiful Asian-Italian influences and quality ingredients."
