Coming Soon
Diners can look forward to the arrival of Kami Ramen Bar, a casual restaurant specializing in traditional Japanese-style ramen, joining the dining terrace. Also, Shiki Bistro will open above Nan Xiang near AMC Theatres, blending Japanese precision with Thai passion through dishes crafted with high-quality fish, organic herbs, and premium spices in a setting that is both refined and approachable. Also arriving this winter is MAVI, offering premium denim and contemporary apparel.
