I took a long ride just to try this place because I saw so many great reviewsThere’s definitely a wide variety of food, but honestly, many dishes didn’t quite meet expectations, and some items were already gone by 6 PM. If you’re coming specifically for seafood, there are only a few options. And if you’re a veggie lover, this place might not be for you — there’s barely any greensThe atmosphere is great though, and the staff were lovely always smiling and attentive, constantly refilling waterOverall, for the price of $50++ per person, I was expecting better quality and taste. - Wattanachai CH
