Small but cozy restaurant located in 2nd floor. Nice interiors and friendly staff. The food was good and the portions served were quite filling. Ambience, cleanliness and interiors are noteworthy. The prices may be slightly on the higher side. But the food thats served makes you forget the price. Worth a try.

An Asian themed restaurant on 80 feet road. The interiors are elegant and cozy. We quickly got to our reserved table and started with their small plates. The Korean potato and crispy lotus stem were excellent. They didnt have baos and dumplings on a Saturday evening, which was surprising. So we settled for the veg pan fried buns, which was just satisfactory. The edamame in butter garlic had a weird oily taste to it. We didnt try any of their large plates or noodle bowls. Overall a decent hangout if you are looking for Asian cuisine. They must improve the menu to convey which of the dishes are vegetarian and also train the waiters, as they looked confused for any questions asked.Little bit on the pricey side and with a 8% mandatory service charge, we felt it was an expensive dinner.

A very good place for a small group. Good and peaceful ambience located in 2nd floor. The food was really good enjoyed every bite. The staff is friendly as well. If in any case any dish isnt available then theyll suggest a good alternative and trust me they dont disappoint.

A reasonably priced pan Asian cuisine restaurant, taste of the food was good but not excellent. Quantity slightly on the lesser side but OK considering the price point. The waiters could be more knowledgeable and enthusiastic especially when you are catering to a discerning set of people.

Decent place to have lunch or dinner. The interiors are nicely done and quite spacious.quite a few options for asian/Thai food items and not too spicy. Basil chilly fry noodles and wasabi prawns were good.Service took some time on a Saturday and must be due to limited staff coz of covid.

This place has become one of my favourite places to eat japanese food, although they do serve other cuisines. The vibe, especially the lofi japanese folklore instrument playing in the background really brings the best out of this place. Parts of the restaurant is open roof so u do get cool breeze swooping in and making you feel dreamy.One of the cool places to bring your date and enjoy some ramen and remember about the times and journey of Naruto😂.Do ask the waiter to provide you with chopsticks and try to eat, it will help you in feel the mood.Have funPs. Food is great and wholesome.

This restaurant has pretty interior and ambience.However the price of the food is a bit high. But I liked the foods. If two people goes it would cost around 1500 for starters and main courseOr even more. We had pork ribs and baby born for starters and nasi goreng and chicken Cantonese for main course. Another con of this place is as they have open windows you may find dust in the seating places.However I want to emphasize that the pork rib and nasi goreng and the chicken was really really delicious. I would recommend people go there and try something out.

I think since they are short staffed, the service was really slow and they shut down by 10pm. We liked most of the items we ordered although the portions were really minimal. Pho wasnt served with noodles and dint taste as authentic as the ones you get in Vietnam. Beef bulgogi and its sauce was yumm.

Review №21

By far, easily the worst experience Ive had in a restaurant. Waited for 90 plus minutes to recieve our order only to learn that they were short on staff. If that was the case, you could have just closed the restaurant for the day. Not just me but I will make sure that my network gets the message to avoid visiting such a torturous restaurant. Killed the dining mood.

Review №22

For a very long time I was craving for a Chinese dish called Mala tang. When my sister told me about this place I thought it would be like most of the indo-chinese food. Thats Chinese food with Indian masala touch. I was looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. But when I ordered this dish called B...... something I was stunned at the similarity of the taste...I was speechless. It was more or less the same thing it had less vegetables. Im definitely gonna come back here.PS: I didnt know it was a Japanese place

Terrible experience. They didnt have anything on their menu available. They took 30min to give us a glass of coke. The staff were not courteous and never answered any of the questions we had. Finally, when we asked them to cancel our drinks, they didnt want to do that either and finally gave us our drinks. I would definitely not come back.

Review №26

An overhyped fare, if anything. There are way better Asian restaurants in the city.We were disappointed with both service and the taste. It was a game of hide and seek to find a waiter to place an order in the first place.Coming to the food, we ordered the starters and drinks. The crispy lotus stem was decent but spicy. The prawns and chicken bao were both average at best. And both the drinks were extremely sweet and overloaded with syrup. We decided to skip this place and found another restaurant for the main course.Neither the taste nor service does justice to the bill amount we had to end up paying.

Visited Kenzai recently and loved it. Decent menu and the food we ordered was yum. The drinks however a little dissapointing, nothing extraordinary and boring.Ambience is good with a mix of high chairs and regular chairs. Lovely decor all around as well.The staff is decent and helpful in choosing dishes.No valet parking.

The ambience is great. The service is good. The food is flavorful and aromatic.The Thai Green Curry disappointed me - they make it so damn spicy that your eyes water and you need to eat with a dessert. It lacks the soothing comforting taste of the coconut milk gravy.

A new place that serves delicious pan asian delicacies!We went here for dinner and must say the ambience is beautiful with courteous staff present.Coming to the menu, they have a number of options for both vegetarians and non. We tried the Miso Udon Soup bowl, the Crispy Tofu Baozi, Crispy babycorn and Mango with sticky rice.Everything tasted delightful and with lovely flavours that tease the tastebuds!We wish the mango and sticky rice was a little more sweeter as it tasted bit bland for our liking, but no complaints!Overall, a lovely experience at this beautiful place with pleasant staff, ready to help.Do visit to explore a budget friendly pan asian experience!#thehipfoodies

Only positive about this place is ambience, nothing else ticks. Food is very bad on every aspect taste, portion size and presentation. Service was also very slow though the resturant was only 50% occupied when we visited. Better avoid it, there are so many other better options to visit in this area.

Review №36

The place has nice ambience but food vise needs great improvement! We ordered 3 appetizers: beef chilli bulgogi, salmon salad, pork bao buns out of which only the beef was nice..but other two were disaster! The pork bun was low on flavour, thick dough, and I think it missed a fresh element to go with it like a small serving of salad or any sauce even! The salmon salad was actually more disastrous as I feel the salmon was not fresh and was cut in too thick portions. When making a raw salad salmon needs to be thin and fresh. So I hope they do a better job in future.. didnt taste anything else as the 2 dishes really put me off!!

A good option for oriental cuisine in BEL road. The food was above average, not fantastic. We had the teriyaki baos which were good. The Korean chicken was okay, so were the dumplings. Wok tossed noodles was again okay. I would say the taste could be more authentic as they are specialized, this had more or less similar taste to what you get at regular restaurants.

The starters are okayish but other than that I did not find any good dishes in the main dish selection too. Service is really bad we had to constantly ask for water for a single filling of our glasses. Would not suggest this place for groups bigger than 4 people. There was a really long wait time for any dish even though we were the only group in the restaurant almost 25 minutes for each dish however small it was. The veg selection was really small compared to the non-veg.

The ambience is of the finest quality. Visiting during the noon for lunch is very peaceful as there are very few visitors at this time. The menu has good variety across several Asian cuisines and the dishes are worth every rupee. 10/10 would visit again.

Review №42

A good selection of dishes : its basically Asian food catered to the Indian palate. Good service and decent ambiance. Went there twice so far, and found salt and spice levels on the higher side. So if you prefer less of either, you could ask them to tweak the seasoning. Would definitely recommend the Japanese Edmame (fresh Soy beans) stir-fry, the Miso soup and Thai Sticky Rice pudding with mangoes.

Lets understand every aspect of this restaurant:1. COVID protocols are slacking with no sanitizers, absence of mask on staff.2. Service is extremely slow and horrible. They will ignore you or starting playing with their mobile or leave the restaurant and go elsewhere. I waited 1 hour for a single main course after 1 starter in an almost empty restaurant3. Portion sizes are painstakingly small. A single serving of Maggi has a bigger portion size than their noodles.4. The menu is extremely cluttered. I was forced to use Zomato to understand whats on the menu.5. The food was so oily that, the U.S. wanted to invade the plate.6. Lack of change. The establishment didnt have any change whatsoever and expected to be paid exact bill amounts.7. The ambience isnt too bad but the crowd was low-scale.8. I couldnt spot a waiter when I needed my cheque. Half of the lot was outside and the other half was hogging food in the kitchen.(Now I know why my food took forever!)9. By the way, I did visit the kitchen briefly and it was quite dirty and trashy.The food deserves a place in the trash can and this place is a testimony on how to NOT run a Pan-Asian Restaurant.

A hidden gem on 80 ft road, floors above the other restaurants in the area- location-wise as well as the taste of the food. We are vegetarian and enjoy the papaya salad, spinach mushroom dumplings, lotus root, udon noodles and tofu in black sauce dishes. Service is warm and friendly, and they also reduce the spice for us on request.

Decent food, great ambience and service... Theres a lot of nice things you could say about the decor and the layout. The menu seems like organized chaos; a bit cluttered to the point where you can feel a bit overwhelmed if youre looking for a quick bite to eat. That being said, Im certain its well worth the effort to take the time and explore all that it has to offer. Ask the staff if youre confused or need clarifications about the dishes, theyre quite knowledgeable andmore than happy to help.Will visit again to acquaint myself with more of the menu.

Review №84

I went here with 3 more friends for a lunch outing on a Sunday afternoon. It was fairly occupied. Reservation is recommended. The ambience is fancy and pretty with big colourful lamps. Food items worth trying: Lemon Coriander Soup with Chicken and Egg, The Khowsuey was yummy and one of the best I have ever eaten. Food items to skip: The small plates are not worth the price. Too little of a quantity. The Mocktails were not upto the mark and the Pineapple fried rice felt too bland. The food is either too spicy or too bland. So make sure you tell them your preference beforehand. I have a big problem with the service. They just get super exhausted and slow after a while of enthusiastic serving. Perhaps, the restaurant needs better and more staff. Overall an Okay to Good experience for Asian cuisine.

Ambience is lovely. Greenery around. We are vegetarians. We had three starters which were all quite good. Only Lotus root one had too much of batter on it. Hence the real taste was camouflaged. Thai green curry with Jasmine rice was tasty but we had to ask them to reduce the density because the gravy was too thick. Dineout Deal of Japanese sushi with a free mocktail whats denied. But we paid with dineout and used our promo cash. Thus reducing the bill by 20%.
