Food Scene

Walking distance from the apartment and very good Asian fusion food. We recommend the chive dumplings, cherry blossom roll, fire dragon roll and the curries!

Excellent BBQ! best to call ahead for pick up - it is walking distance from the apartment. It is a very busy and small restaurant - long lines and cramped tables if you dine in, so order out!
