Editorial Review

Sleek, modern white-on-white decor sets off colourful dishes brought to the tables at this pan-Asian restaurant. Crammed in elbow-to-elbow, locals and destination foodies nosh such house standards as spring rolls, satays and chicken hotpot. More exotic fare is also on offer, as in stir-fried spicy peppercorn crab, Thai emerald curry lobster, sesame-and-soy-flavoured Saigon rack of lamb and a French-Vietnamese-style fried rice with saffron-infused seafood. A variety of gluten-free dishes (more than 50 menu items are made without flour, using a rice base instead) round out the menu. Mains $9–$23.
