“ My for ever favorite restaurant in salento. We went multiple times. Let me explain: First the check is the sweetest and so talent Greta authentic Asian food. The local is very small with 4 tables so make sure you reserved or go early. The service is great, there is a couple working so you will see either the Argentina guy or the Colombian girls working very attentive. Then the food, of course súper important. The best ever entrance were the gyozas and the spring roles which is very nice to share. The tempura prawn is the best of all tempura pieces. The pasta noddles are a must and don’t forget to order one of the rices plates. The hace a great different lunch menu and for 15k COP!! ”
