Koreans don't come here. Everyone is from other countries. Maybe that's why it feels more relaxed. The Coconut Crispy Chicken (70k) is really delicious👍 Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.

The ambiance is fantastic, with a view of Gili Meno. The service staff are very friendly. This is my third time here. The 'iced vegan boost' is my favorite.
