I stumbled upon it in Ealing by accident and it was the busiest restaurant in the high street area, which is always a good sign. They also had a busy delivery service. The decor was quite basic, similar to a school cafeteria, but the service was prompt and my cold Ashari was brought to my table quickly. The starters, squid and chicken skewers, were both excellent. My companion had the duck for their main course, which was tender and delicious. I tried the catsu chicken curry for my main, which was cooked perfectly with no complaints. The bill came to a very reasonable £50 for two people, and I will definitely visit their other locations when I'm in London.

The veg spring rolls were hot and crispy, the chicken wings had a deliciously crispy coating with a hint of garlic and spice, and the chicken gyozas were also delicious. Cons: The mains were very salty, especially the chicken and black bean dish. Several pieces of cutlery were dirty, so my kids resorted to using chopsticks. The plates had stains from previous use, forcing us to eat our starters with our hands. The floor and chairs were filthy, and I had to be careful not to get grains of rice or noodles on my shoes. The food was poorly presented, simply slopped onto the plates. One plate had a lot of food on the bottom and side, making it difficult to eat comfortably. When we arrived, the staff stared but did not seat us immediately. Overall, I wouldn't return to this restaurant and believe it requires a hygiene inspection.

I was not informed about the delay for quite some time, and my friends had already finished their meals by the time mine arrived. It was a shame because the salmon I had with teriyaki sauce and rice was delicious. The manager apologized and gave us a 10% discount. Better communication could prevent this issue in the future.

There are no peanuts on the disc (but you can ask for extra 2: The taste is very strong, and the addition of lime makes it even more obvious. 3. The fried noodles have a medium hardness and are slightly wet and soft, and taste very chewy. 4. The ingredients are acceptable. There are basic ingredients such as bean sprouts, shredded eggs, and tofu cubes. You can add other ingredients such as carrots to make the overall texture drier. 5. Although the shrimp meat is chilled, it is still elastic. However, the shrimp meat is slightly cold and can be fried a little to make it perfect. 6. The amount of fresh shrimp is enough, there are six whole pieces 7. Onion is a great addition, it’s great if you don’t use coriander The atmosphere is pretty good, but I sat too close to the kitchen and heard loud music in the kitchen. It felt like there was a long buzzing and party going on. But I think it doesn't matter Diners looking for peace and quiet can sit away from the kitchen The price is good. Even though there are no drinks, it’s still worth it. It is very rare for a Japanese restaurant to open such a high-quality Pad Thai. The food is better than the restaurant next door that specializes in Thai food. And flatter. So no need to be picky. If you like pad thai, you must try it here 10/10

Most of the food is great and consistently so every time. Prices have gone up like everywhere else, can't blame them. read more Most of the food is great and consistently so every time. Prices have gone up like everywhere else, can't blame them.
