Delicious and creative, food has Asian flare with creative fermented food accents (pickled carrots in the banh mi and the pickled fennel on the venison were amazing). Yet we could also deconstruct the food to serve to our 3yo - who love everything (when does that happen??). By far one of our best meals in NZ.

Wow what an amazing food experience for four people.
This was the best food and service of the month for after spending the week travelling around eating in top restaurants in Queenstown & Wānaka this night was the very best by far.
Huge thanks to everyone involved in our night. Service from staff was excellent the chefs nailed everything and I will surely be back.
Favourite meals were TERIYAKI SALMON FINS, KARAAGE CHILLI SQUID, SINGAPORE SASHIMI, MALAYSIAN FRIED CHICKEN, 21 DAY AGED SIRLOIN with cloudy bay clams, MALAYSIAN FRIED CHICKEN with hot & sour sauce, Hawker vege, BRULEED MARSHMALLOW with chocolate marquise, raspberry, bitter snaps.
Surprises was the Salmon fins that melt in your mouth. The crispy Squid with amazing flavours. The Sashimi had a slight spice and I could have eaten this again and again. The Sirloin was cooked perfectly but the clams added so much to the dish and I could have eaten a bowl of clams on their own.
Both the CITRUS CHIFFON CAKE, caramelized apple, ginger beer sorbet and the BRULEED MARSHMALLOW ended the night perfectly.
The Mocktail was made perfectly for the driver and other drinks were kept full all night.
Thank you all

Was coming for the prawns but the menu has changed. However, the food is still good and good price as well.

My wife and I went there at 8 on a Saturday night. It was full, we had booked ahead so was shown to our table. We chose two meals each and they came out one by one in perfect timing to share and the food was amazing. Our server Olivia was awesome so left a $40 tip. All and all was such a wonderful evening thanks to all the team there. Nice job guys! Very satisfied 😊

Absolutely loved our dinner here! The service was amazing and the food was even better. Really loved the cozy vibe here too. We shared the samurai fries, chicken and dumplings. The fries were SO GOOD. We look forward to returning!

The naughty nigiri is to die for. This may be the finest restaurant in Nelson. You must go there.

Wow.! We have discovered our new favorite local eatery. Two of our group are celiac and the chef came and spoke with us offering options and reassurance. Utterly outstanding food with real surprises. Just excellent. A must do whether you are local or visiting. We'll be back - often.

The food here is art. I loved every single thing I ate. Service was excellent, too. Great atmosphere, lively spot on a weeknight and everyone in the restaurant seemed to be happy and enjoying their experience.
