Amazing degustation - Edit
Would definitley recommedn going for the 10 course degustation. It was definitely worth the price and had so many different flavours and new ways of cooking. Be warned it is a bit spicy as its sichuan food. I went with a group of 8 omnis and they all loved

My favourite restaurant in Melbourne - Edit
I can't recommend the vegan degustation from this place more! I went here quite a few times while I was in Melbourne for both the 10 course and the 5 course experimental night. Really affordable and you leave feeling just right not too full or too hungry! The flavours are incredible but make sure you like spicy food because a few times I took friends who couldn't handle the heat but just gave me more! The potato pancake is the standout dish I will remember forever. The setting is really funky with awesome lighting, kung fu films playing on a large screen with good music and coat hanger sculptures. The staff always remembered me and were super lovely, the food is presented so beautifully but doesn't lose any points for flavour. An absolute must!

Creative and innovative combinations - Edit
We went for the experimental 5 course night. Without the burden of making any choices we were presented with beautifully plated creations.
Read moreThe dishes were experimental, and some worked better than others.I loved the pancake:fluffy with flavoursome soft eggplant and aeoli. The cone looked so interesting but I'm not sure the smokey tofu worked for me, with the sweet undertones.
It was a good amount of food without being too much.
Service was friendly, good selection of drinks and funky interior!

Amazing vegan degustation - Edit
The food was delicious, really creative dishes with lots of flavour. We had the 10 course vegan degustation and the first course seemed really small but then the rest of the dishes were much bigger and I left feeling full. The vegan cheesecake with avocado and passion fruit to finish was amazing, really creamy and a large serving. I had a big pot of tea which was a nice option if you don’t want to drink alcohol. Also the service was really nice too, everyone was friendly and prompt with the dishes. They also have bigger tables so it would be a great place for a group dinner. I would definitely go here again.

Great Sichuan food - Edit
Funky restaurant with great variety across their vegan degustation. I'm not sure I would call it 10 courses when the first 3 and second 3 courses come out together on the one plate, but all the food was tasty and creative. The vegan cheese and the sauces on each dish were the highlights. Dessert was bland and a disappointing finish. Service was lacklustre. A couple of requests were made when I booked, both of which were supposedly no problem but neither was honoured. Decent price, would recommend.

Delicious Degustation - Edit
We booked for a vegan degustation and we were not disappointed - 10 courses of excellent Sichuan dishes. On the downside they had run out of vegan wine - but they did have a good range of beers.
Read moreGood service from the busy staff but the decor and lighting are very harsh with hard surfaces everywhere which echo the (not very appealing) music.
Pros: Vegan degustation, Good service
Cons: Harsh decor and lighting
