    Hanoi pho a little on the salty side. Very generous amount of meat. Could have more noodles instead to fill up the stomach. Otherwise, it's good. The place also has great atmosphere and service!

    Great vibe! Friendly staff and delicious food and nice cocktails. Dim sums are great and do not forget to try the duck Sandwick, is to die for. Pad Thai is OK! 🍜🍤🍚🍻

    This place is hot! They don’t take reservations. Everybody is in the queue at the frontdoor, having a drink, waiting for a table. And it’s worth it. Friendly staff, top quality food.

    Just amazing. Had the malaysian curry with chicken and fried rice. Hard to get a table in the evening though so reserve in advance.

    They don’t accept reservations you have to earn your spot 😉 wait at the bar, get some drinks and wait for the great Asian experience on your plate.

    A relaxed, casual-chic restaurant with pan-Asian cuisine that’s proved a big hit since its recent opening.

    Loved the place! They have different Asian dishes. My favorite was green Thai curry with tofu. The samosas were also really good. Nice and efficient service. Come early - the place is packed.

    Best item I had by far was the pork belly Bao. Not sure why the good rating. This place serves small portions of so-so food at high prices and long wait for tables.

    There are more waiters in the restaurant than customers, and they constantly walk around and nag you. Food is OK, but not something to write home about. Not really genuine Asian.

    Expensive, small portions, so-so food. Not sure why such a high rating. Best item by far is the pork belly Bao. Spent 80€ on dinner for two with drinks. Not worth it.
