Food is good could be better. Quantity has been reduced since my last visit Ordered 3 fried rice all came in different portions. And when i asked they said it was cooked together so can portion it urself,which is so awkward because i am not going to take food from the friend who got more rice. Horrible way to serve So i paid more for less quantity Must do better

Excellent food had the red curry with tofu, chilli basil noodles with tofu, and spring onions. All the dishes were delicious and very good value for money. The atmosphere was cosy and casual and the service was personal and friendly. I'd highly recommend and I'd happily return here.
