Reviews
- lightning_peonyCame here with a friend and grabbed a seat on the second floor terrace. The view was amazing — the red walls and grey tiles of the White Pagoda Temple just glowed in the sun, seriously photo-worthy from every angle. We ordered the braised beef tongue with red wine mashed potatoes, and wow, the tongue was so tender it basically melted, and the red wine flavor with the creamy potatoes was such a good combo. The whole vibe was super cozy too — warm yellow lighting, wooden tables and chairs, just really relaxing. Seating was spaced out nicely so we could chat without being bothered. Lots of greenery and rattan screens everywhere, and honestly the whole place has a really chic, date-night kinda feel. Definitely coming back!
