Went in just for a few cocktails and the bartender did not disappoint! Nice flavours and awesome presentation. Thanks for a great experience! Whiskey Apple Sour is a must!

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch on a spontaneous decision, and definitely weren’t disappointed. Delicious food that is fairly priced for the quality, as well as quick and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Pretty good fusion restaurant. Food is nice, portions for mains a tiny but thats kind of expected for type of place, some of the dishes are quite bland i.e the bang bang chicken and very pricey for what it is. I highly recommend trying the sweet and sour pork, it is delicious! Also the Japanese sunset cocktail was lovely. Asides from a small mix up everything was smooth!

Had a pretty sad experience here the other day. 2 friends and myself (all very visibly 30 years old) wanted to sit outside in the sun and enjoy some snacks and a few beverages. We were told we all needed to be ID'd in order to sit there - 1 of us had ID, 1 of us does not own a photo ID and I had left my wallet in bag back home.We were told we were unable to be served because of this which is a pretty tragic interpretation of the liquor licensing laws. They admitted they had discretion here but were unprepared to use it. It all just felt quite belittling and insulting and like we were being profiled in some type of way. What kind of hospitality are you trying to practice here?I have been coming to this bar since it used to be Ra bar, it's just a bit galling to have to deal with this type of policing behaviour for a very clearly moot scenario. Boring, sad n desperate.Doesn't leave a good taste in one's mouth and becomes pretty clear that you are trying to cater to a particular type of peoples.Cheers.

Waited for a long time to be attended in general, food was good, but waited too long, after attending our needs, they seemed like they were in a hurry to kick us out. Shame, its a good place and people didn’t seem bad, just poor service and attention to detail.

The food at Vault 21 was very tasty.The duck tacos were really good, as was the korean fried chicken.The food and drinks were reasonably priced, and there was a good range of food and drinks to choose from.

Vault21 kindly sponsored my blind date way back a few years (Street art for the first sight) and offered a free drink and small dish.I was definitely intrigued by their pretty extensive menu, decent pricing and ambience. I knew then I wanted tocome back. Their menu was an asian inspired mix of small dishes and main kitchen meals, a very interesting take ifyou ask me. I got the espresso martini, my date got the Hangzhou cooler, and we both ordered the smoked ribs.Espresso martini for you coffee lovers out there, even though I'm not a huge fan of coffee, this was an icy blast!Couldn't finish it though, coffee is just too much for me! The hangzhou cooler was goooood, it was like sprite!!! Super delish.Smoked ribs smelt amazing, and they photographed really well under flash lol. The flavour was really exquisite, Smokey and sweet and sour with tang and spice. Themeat was lacking a bit but overall quite tender and flavorful. They serve 5 pieces. The only con about the ribs were that some hits were slightly too charred. 4/5Also a brief mention of their cutlery-they provide knife, fork and chopsticks. Very interesting. Found out that the owner was chinese, made more sense on the asian fusion twist of the menu!

Excellent location in the Octagon, excellent food (small servings but beautiful). Lovely interior and friendly helpful, chatty staff.

Great spot right on the Octagon and very nice interior design. The best was the heated concrete seats right by the window, which was definitely welcomed on a very cold night.Was pleasantly surprised with the Asian fusion menu selection. We had the Korean Fried Chicken and Halloumi as starters, which were yum. Then the Yuzu Miso Salmon and Southern Ocean Fish as mains with charred broccoli side dish. The mains were delicious, but probably a tad over-priced for what was on the plate (fish, rice and salad for $32-38). For desserts we had the coconut sticky rice and the sticky date pudding, which were beautfully presented and very tasty.The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review was the terrible customer service at the end of the night. It was good to begin with, but when we wanted to order dessert around 9pm the waiter told us the kitchen was closed and all diners had to leave as the restaurant was converting into a late night bar on Sat night. I was shocked! I thought that was very rude to be kicking us out and not wanting our business if we wanted desserts. Eventually the waiter got permission from the manager to let us order dessert, but we had no pre-warning about the time the kitchen was closing and about diners needing to leave by a certain time to clear tables for bar revellers. Surely in these tough times the restaurant would want this extra business from diners? Not impressed.
