We visited Lagoon Dining after securing reservations well in advance. We had the Feed Me menu and it exceeded every expectation. The flavor combinations and ingredient pairings introduced us to entirely new tastes, and the plating was beautiful. The staff was incredibly warm and knowledgeable, and it was impressive to see how well the team worked as a unit. It was a remarkable dining experience.

This was the perfect place enjoy a fabulous lunch on a very rainy day. The food was exquisite, the service faultless and the ambience was just like sitting in a very good French restaurant in Paris. The combination of French and Chinese is sublime, perfectly suited my taste and my husbands, he likes French, I like Chinese and the combinations wowed us. There were some very clever uses of Kampot which was very enjoyable. The entrees, the mains and the beautiful raspberry lychee desert, along with the extensive wine and drinks menu made this visit an extremely memorable place to enjoy our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you.

About the restaurant

Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.

This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

Had an early dinner booking and the food was amazing. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our drink order wasn’t submitted, but these things happen and drinks were delivered promptly when I asked. Bubblegum cocktail was fun and flavourful. My favourite dish was the scallops packed with flavour. Can’t wait to visit again.
