Kind of like a mini, funky food court! Order food from one of the eateries and they'll bring it out to you while a central bar serves drinks. The drinks selection isn't spectacular, but it's what you'd expect from any standard Japanese restaurant. The food selection is diverse and well priced and the staff were relaxed and friendly. Give the setup, you'd expect it to feel dirty and crowded, but it wasn't. At worst, the table was a little bit sticky and could have done with a wipe down.
Fancy Asian food court kinda place. The food is nice, the place is cool. You get a table first and order by the table number at each stand and they'll bring food to you.
Perhaps they used to be good. This place is now overrated, with no real signature dish. Everything is mediocre. Being said that, the service staff were courteous, and the ambiance around this area is nice. If you want more authentic Asian flavors, there is a lot around this area that will put this joint to shame.

Thoroughly enjoyed myself here! Definitely a new and awesome concept than just being a hawker hall. What a fun environment, decor on point and great upbeat tunes playing in the background. Greeted when walking in and also was explained how the ordering service works which deserves a big tick! Plenty of different Asian cuisines to choose from and dishes came out in great time too! Quality of dishes were good too! So happen to be there on the change over of new restaurant pop ups and when paying for a meal, we were asked for feedback which was great! Heads up that this place doesn’t take cash and uses only eftpos. It works when you don’t need to figure out how to split the bill! Cute outdoor area in the front for pups. Will be back when the next changeover happens in 3-4 months time!
This place really hits the spot, especially on a cool or rainy day. A taste you'll have to try to believe. Or you can come see for yourself. Prices are reasonable compared to other locations and portions are filling. Should definitely try this place out if you have time on your hands.
