Firstly, our waitress was awesome. Not something I often comment on but she really looked after us. Food was great too, from tasty seafood pho, spicy fried cauliflower and a bun with Hanoi spring rolls to a diverse and well executed drinks menu. Enjoying the view out over the ocean as the sun set didn't hurt either! Nice touch having an RFID so you can tap to order from your phone.

An amazing meal. Visited for lunch and the only issue was deciding what to order, ended up with 5 dishes and everything was top drawer from the fresh zesty ingredients to the picturesque sea views. Laksa, wantons and spring rolls were the show stealers. Staff were all amazing too. Very positive experience. Thank you.

Never thought Asian fusion would be so gah dayum good. I got the katsu chicken laksa and it was so good. The serving sizes here could feed more than 1 for sure, as a pretty big guy, I couldn’t even finish half of the regular size. The atmosphere here is also really nice and it almost feels like you’re on a tropical vacation.

We had a nice lunch here today as a small family, the place was very busy when we arrived but the wait time was non existent and sat down indoors straight away. We found the staff to be very friendly and nice, unlike what other reviews have said. This time of year is absolutely flooded with tourists, and in our opinion they are doing their best. The food came out relatively quickly, our spring rolls were good and the popcorn cauliflower was tasty. The chargrilled chicken bun bowl was ok, my partner found the chicken had no chargrill flavour or texture at all, more like boiled. I had the pho katsu which was nice. It is definitely pricey for what it is, and at peak season on Torquay esplanade places start to get a bit less authentic or loose track of quality.
