I love lost Garden, the food is great, the service is wonderful and all the staff have always been very kind and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable as well. I'm very happy to see this addition to Kunming :)

Best Sunday brunch experience in Kunming! A great selection of just the right type of food which goes down very well the morning after a heavy night. Jeroen is making dishes that not only taste great but are also very easy on the eyes. Add to that David's awesome Bloody Marys and the lovely rooftop terrace and you can't go wrong. True, things can be a bit hectic in the kitchen if it's busy, but be patient and you'll be well rewarded.

I'm starting to think this is the best Western food in Kunming. They don't have anything as upscale as Sandra's Friday steaks, and the menu is small, but the fluffy, blistered pizza crusts are a small miracle, and the brisket sandwich and Vietnamese chicken salad would be favorites at any small cafe in the states. We took a little while to come around to this conclusion, since a couple of our first visits were marred by too much bad sauce on the pizza and a couple instances of bad service, but the staff seems to be responding well to comments, and everything's been wonderful recently. The cafe is also a great, quiet place to work in the afternoons with a smoothie or some coffee.

I've had nothing but good experiences at Lost Garden. The owners are extremely considerate and nice people and clearly try very hard to make the experience of the guest their first priority. A few isolated incidents are not a good reflection of the restaurant or the hostel. This place is awesome and will continue to be so. I know it sounds like someone from the restaurant wrote this but that's not true. I just don't write reviews unless the character of my favorite establishments are attacked.

Poor service, certainly. Exagerated ego, probably.
