But in case you are a big group of 6 or more then your special case might be considered for advance booking.
The moment you enter the venue, you would notice the entire place lit up in neon-red light. Transports you directly to the feels of China where red is the predominant colour used in almost every food setup. Choose where you would like to enjoy your supper! There are industrial tables and chairs or stools lined up near the open kitchen. You can clearly see the steam rising in the kitchen from there. Did anyone say outdoor dining? Just in the right place right time situation! They do have an alfresco setup to dine in that offers you a view and a separate bar altogether.
