Came in today for lunch. Was initially daunted by the huge queue (although that’s a good sign though), the sheer choice on offer, and the limited space inside. That said - the queue moves fast, as people order for both take out and sit in. Ordering system is super simple with the little slips of paper (pencils provided) and you just tick what you want in your bowl. There’s even a Gluten Free menu (and paper choice sheet). I was initially concerned about the lack of seating space but people come and go very fast. I got a table to myself in the corner. The food itself was excellent. Huge portion size which I’m still totally full from, 3 hours later. I also got a side of shrimp dumplings which were delicious.

We had dinner here last night and celebrated two birthdays. It was restaurant week so I got the crab cake special. My mom got seafood risotto. Both were absolutely delicious!! However, my daughter who has a gluten and dairy sensitivity got the fried chicken appetizer (gf) and french fries (gf) and ended up with a belly ache... There must have been some cross contamination, somehow (we told the server up front). Despite that, she said the chicken was delicious and loved the fries. So overall a great night and we will be back. But beware if you have a gluten allergy.

Very hard to find this place. Signs indicated in one food court but actually need to enter the hotel across street and go down some stars in the lobby (we asked concierge, very helpful) and then go all way to end of mall area, turn left and it's there. Once you find it, food is delicious! They use canola oil so great for my soy allergy. My fried was vegan, gluten free and they had a vegan burgers and GF bun. The normal fries are house seasoned which is very yummy. The sweet potato fries were very good too.
