   We visited the restaurant on a Friday, 1.3. and, while the food was delicious, the service left much to be desired. There were four of us dining, and when ordering, we specifically requested that one starter be served together with the other three main meals. Unfortunately, the starter arrived far too early, causing my daughter to eat about 20 minutes before the rest of us. We also ordered dishes that were supposed to be spicy, but out of the three, two arrived mild. When we raised the issue, the staff admitted the mistake and suggested using the chillies available in jars on the table. I had to specifically request fresh chillies to add to my meal. Unfortunately, even with the added chillies, the dish didn’t taste the way it was supposed to. Additionally, my 13-year-old son wanted to order a virgin mojito. I double-checked with the staff when ordering and was reassured it was fine. However, when the drinks arrived, a different staff member noticed my son's age and said he couldn’t have the drink. We ended up having to order another one. The disappointment grew when the bill arrived—we were charged for all the drinks, with no apology or discount for the mix-up with our orders. Moreover, when making the reservation, I noted that it was for my husband’s birthday. It was quite disappointing that there was no acknowledgement of this at all. It made me wonder why there is an option to leave notes if they are not considered. When we asked for the bill, the staff member asked if we wanted to add a tip. Given our disappointment, we chose not to do so. The staff member did not acknowledge the mistakes or offer any apology, which added to our overall dissatisfaction. Overall, we are disappointed with this experience as we were really looking forward to celebrating together.

   Easy to book a table at a convenient time. Food is amazing and very tasty. Service is equally good. Highly recommend. My new favourite go to.

   It took 40mins to get drinks let alone food. Waiter spilt a bowl on the table. Waits between courses was ridiculous, they seemed to be more interested in getting take away orders out. However, the food was amazing. Don’t go there hungry I suppose.

   Great food as usual. Service was a little under par having to ask for x2 main meals 5 mins after others were delivered, potentially missed but rectified quickly. cancelled coffee due to time elapsed. Staff very friendly, just needed a bit more attention 😃

   Food was flavourful, and filling. Dessert ( waffle) missed the mark slightly, but was ok. Service could do with more training/observation. Had to ask each time to either order despite it not being busy.

   Food is good and value for money. Service was a bit slow. Went on 29th to celebrate Chinese new year as advertised to us. Very disappointed that there was no decor or anything to mark the occasion. Music is ‘doof doof’ dreadful and too loud!

   Delicious healthy food. Will definitely visit again, although maybe not on a Saturday lunchtime ad I felt it was a bit too noisy - no reflection on the restaurant just personal preference.

   Amazing place. Great food! The service was the best. Josh was the person who serviced us. He was very kind, very respectful and gentle. Made a big difference. Took time to hear our concerns and to advise us and give some tips on the menu. Thanks Josh!

    Great service very slick, fast and polite a real credit to the managers, food was nice but could improve. The summer rolls were a bit chewy like the had been overly prepared in advance and kept in the fridge. The chicken in the chicken curry was a little chewy, flavours fantastic though, warm and really good portion. Enjoyable easy eat and good value Would like Thai prawn crackers style than the standard white one as that would elevate the offering. Overall a steady three star
