Cedrix CornetSeptember 16, 2014Chef Sontaya is one of the best in town. He proved with his menu that once can be transported to southeast Asia without flying. Keep it up. Will come back and recommend definitely.Upvote3Downvote
Alia AlawiMarch 31, 2017Wasabi prawns, Tom yum kung soup, lakes soup, mei goreng, California rolls (sushi), crispy shrimp roll and salmon. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Jacques JuneauDecember 25, 2013Very good food and very affordable. Thursday night is very busy with good ambiance although look. The crowd tend to be British and they migrate to Heros after 23:30Upvote2Downvote
RaniaApril 27, 2016Great food and matching cocktails to go with it. Not usually a fan of dessert, but would recommend their jasmine tea cream brûlée, wow.UpvoteDownvote- Triplets On SetOctober 2, 2016Wasabi prawns are to die for & the Vietnamese spring rolls.

Sanja JelicicMarch 16, 2014They are short on proper vegetarian noodles, and the music is quite loud. On the other hand this is a good place for enjoying in asian food.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 30, 2015Excellent happy hour but filled with NYUAD students and facultyUpvoteDownvote
Mike O'ConApril 2, 2015Sorry, but I found the experience a completely underwhelming event. The dumplings are particularly disappointing. Singapore noodles are ok. Service v friendly.
