Let me start with the owners are super nice and that it usually takes a lot to impress me with fusion foods, specifically asian fusion.

I'd have to say I had the highest expectations going to this restaurant with a 4.9 rating on Google reviews, but honestly, I was greatly disappointed. I took my family here when they visited, and it was our least liked meal.

When I think of Italian food, I think of al dente cooked pasta with a great tomato base. And when I think of korean food, I think of the punches of kimchi flavors. Together, I think of a well cooked pasta with bursts of asian flavors. To me, neither was achieved. We did have the famous kimchi lasagna, and in my view, the pasta was overcooked, and the burst of flavor just wasn't there. It felt confusing as to where it belonged. We did try other dishes, but unfortunately, this restaurant probably just isn't for me. I will leave my thoughts on food at that.

Otherwise, the service was fine. The space was on the small side, so if you decide you want to try this place, it's probably worth making a reservation as the place was full.

We heard about this restaurant through a friend who was visiting. My family is in town this week and this was the first restaurant I've taken them too. It was a hit!

My mom is vegan and quite the picker eater, but she absolutely loved it and has requested we come back here for dinner before they leave. She had the vegan laksa.

I had the Penang Assam Laksa, my dad had the soft shell crab laksa, my sister had the Ipoh Curry Laksa, my husband had the Melaka Curry Laksa and my brother in law had the Jumbo Fresh Water Prawn. We each loved everything that we had! I'd definitely recommend getting a laksa if you come here!!

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. I'd definitely recommend this place. You can make reservations online through their website. We are going back for a second go on Saturday!

We had a great experience here. This was the first place weate at after landing in Amsterdam, and it did not disappoint. The owner was super friendly. The bitterballen was super crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. And it wasn't greasy at all. My husband likes to describe it as eating stew in a ball. We also got fries with truffle mayonnaise. It was an easy and satisfying meal!

We went for dinner here with my sister and her husband, and I definitely have to say it's one of the best meals I've had in a while.

We ordered the beef tartare and scallop ceviche to start. They were absolutely divine - the scallops were fresh with just the right amount of citrus. The beef tartare was amazing (we appreciate this so much more after being in London for the last few months, I can confirm that London beef is nowhere near as good as Alberta beef!).

For our mains my hubby and I got the mussels and frites - I was told the bread here was delicious and to get it in place of the fries, but our waiter was super nice and said I could have both 😂😂 - I honestly love it when they tell me this! I don't even think he charged us for the bread! Everything tasted super fresh!

Despite being super full, I ordered two desserts - creme brulee and the nougat with a passion fruit coulis. I'm so glad I made that the decision. They were both excellent. The creme brulee was super creamy and eggy. The nougat was a surprise as it wasn't too sweet. It had a nice soft and chewy texture with some crunch to it from the added nuts. The passion fruit sauce was the perfect addition.

I'd definitely recommend this place, and I'm sure we will be back as well! We also had some fun filming through creme brulee!
The cutest little market with fresh quality products! The produce looks extremely fresh, the different bread stalls looked amazing, and the cheese looked super enticing.

My hubby and I picked up some roasted peanut peanut butter, roasted cobnuts, pastries (mini moon cakes, Mille Crepe cake, chocolate opera cake) and some sushi!
