It is the first Vietnamese and Korean restaurant to open in Limerick. Among their many specialties are poke bowls, Korean corn dogs and pancakes, fried rice, noodle salads, pho and loaded fries. The restaurant is located where Zweton was previously on Denmark Street and brings an exciting new menu and a contemporary atmosphere with it.

Based on the corner of Unit 1, Little Ellen Street, the setting is unique and special.

The interior is also remarkable and trendy, boasting beautiful lighting, stunning plants, stone walls and outer-space themed murals. The windows look out onto the bustling streets of Limerick city, adding to the urban theme of the street food restaurant.
