Comments

New comments are displayed first.

I don't recommend Banana Leaf as outstanding, the food is super heavy and the service was very disappointing.

Element Fresh is great, but I believe Green should go Veggie. No vegetarian category? That would be nice, there are many options in town. Mock meat is a exquisite experience in China.

Hey guys,

Are you going to do a category for Buffet next time?
