    I thought the portion looked a little small in the takeaway containers… seemed like lots of rice but not so much curry, however, when I put it in a bowl the ratio was perfect and I was completely satisfied with the portion. I have found it difficult to get a good, authentic Thai green curry in Portugal and this one was just amazing. Fresh, yummy, flavourful… every ingredient complimented one and other… I can’t give high enough praise, this was such a delicious meal and I can’t wait to reorder.

    Tried my first green curry it was lovely however wayyy to spicy, please be aware of this and the restaurants should warn about this, but for spice lovers it's perfect! Too pricy for the portions they serve. Will come back again but not so soon.

    No way? It can't be? A wonderful Thai restaurant in Norte Shopping? Yes, it's true. 2nd time eating here in 2 days proves it. Really delicious fresh ingredients at great prices. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating in the Cookbook multi-restaurant area.

    It used to be very good..it is sad when a good restaurant starts to decrease the quality

  • 2/5 Renato C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve visited this place about 10 times. I always eat the same thing - Pad Thai. I’ve been to Thailand, I’ve been to other Asian restaurants in Portugal. I know what Pad Thai is. In the beginning it was good enough to make me return. However, lately the noodles texture is just like rubber. It’s very hard to chew. The flavour is there, although nothing special, but the rubbery texture of the noodles makes it impossible for me to return. Maybe for other dishes it may be good, but for pad Thai it’s a no-no.

  • 1/5 Maddin M. 10 months ago on Google
    Tiny portions, super expensive. Taste is average and had not really something to do with Asian food. Maybe stick to one Asian country and learn the recipes properly. I had a Bao for 5€ and when I unpacked it, I had to laugh. Are you serious? I get in every corner cafe a Sandes for half the price three times the size. Don't waste your money here.

    (Translated by Google) The plate was not very plentiful, and I was sick right after eating. I do not recommend it. Lack of hygiene? (Original) L'assiette n'était pas très copieuse, et j'ai été malade juste après avoir manger. Je le déconseille. Manque d'hygiène ?

    Good, but quality is variable and price a bit expensive. We tried it twice already. The first time, we tried the pad Thai. The vegetables were not properly or something. There was something feeling pretty much like sand in the dish. The second time, we dried the sopa cantonesa and the green curry with shrimps. Both dishes were good, but the ingredients are not always of very high quality (for example the noodles in the Cantonese soup). The dishes are in between 10 and 12 which is a bit expensive. Overall it's good but the quality is too uncertain.
