I don’t think it’s underrated, but maybe under-visited. The food is spicy and zingy. Every dish on the menu is a banger.

The honesty of the food is genius, the detailed house-made sauces and stocks build perfect bites and make some of the most satisfying eats in Melbourne. My favourite dishes there are chrysanthemum salad with tofu and pine nuts, spicy potato salad, octopus skewers, anything Keat is cooking in the wok (which rotates seasonally) and a delicious glass of wine picked by [co-owner] Chris [Lerch].
