    First heard about this unique, stellar restaurant from a friend that was invited to a little get together. They ordered take-away and I was sent pictures and thrown back by the food quality and the overall presentation. Might be my spicy tastes that are over obsessed with this cuisine but I decided to give it a try live so we decided to go in and see what’s it all about to be able to rate this restaurant properly. I knew the experience is gonna be epic I had this feeling and even so I was surprised by how welcoming, kind and warm the staff is. All the waiters are dressed in the same code and they repeatedly came to our table to ask how the food is and if we are okay. The service quality was how I rarely would describe it as “Wow” and they deserve all the praise. You have the tasting menu which includes both starters and main courses and it’s a robust choice with more than enough for two people to experiment and satiate your hunger. I recommend their tradition drink the Air Lychee Soda and make sure you try the fried bananas for dessert and the coconut crepe which was an absolute delight. Hats off for the waiters, the kitchen staff, managers and administration for the traditional specific menu and the impressing layout of the restaurant. It was an absolute pleasure and we will be back soon!

    I’d say this is one of my top restaurants I’ve been to. Service staff were friendly, food was exceptional and the entire experience was great. 100% recommend Tiger Prawn Curry and the pork belly! Alcoholic drinks were lovely too, especially the Lychee Martini ☺️ Really enjoyable restaurant will definitely be returning!

    My friends and I came here last night for dinner and it was an amazing meal from start to finish. The dishes had loads of flavour and beautiful spice to them and the cocktails were delicious and flavourful as well. There was a great range of dishes available and everyone was thrilled with every single thing that was ordered. The staff were really friendly and fun and the restaurant itself had a great atmosphere. We will definitely return!

    1st visit here with my husband & 2 sons both of whom had been before. The place was quite busy for a Thursday evening. We were welcomed at the front desk then shown to our table where another waitress promptly took our order for drinks. Our food swiftly followed after we ordered it. For one of our meals we were helped by the waiter as to what it was & how hot the dish would be as it had a 4 chillie sign. He advised it was very hot but could be made milder if required but my son in his wisdom said we'll have it as it comes. Yes, it was hot!! I managed a couple of the prawns, we had a a sweet & sour chicken dish with rice, noodles with shrimp & chicken, chicken wings, chicken satay skewers all of which were totally delicious. The bill was surprisingly reasonable & we will definitely visit again.

    Excellent food as always. Couldn't reccomend it anymore, we've been going a couple of times a year for the last 6 years and it really is amazing food. One thing I did notice on this occasion was that there was a 10% service charge on the bill which I noticed before I paid, however the waitress didn't mention it when she asked for payment. I always tip. It would have been courteous for the waitress to make me aware. PS - Soft shell crab is must!
