As I come here for good food to fill in my stomach. It was worth the price I paid and the taste is delicious. The quantity of each dish might not be full for 1 that's why I ordered more haha.

That 's not to say the place has nothing going for it its location is great, it 's attractively laid out inside, and the staff were genuinely friendly but the reviewer who said 'tourist trap ' hit the nail on the head everything about it is to lure you in, and tuned to dine and squeeze you, the generic tourist, in a hurried manner. High paced, unrelaxing and unsatisfying.
