When we arrived it was quite full, luckily, we still got a table. There are three lunch options available that change every day. Of course, that's...also an extensive menu you can choose from. You simply order at the counter, pay, take your seat and then wait for your food to arrive. During lunch hour of course it is rather crowded. The food arrived after only a short wait and was really good. One of my colleagues had a bit of trouble due to the fact of hers being extraordinarily spicy. What I found really offputting was the fact that I smelled cigarette smoke as soon as I sat down. I couldn't really find out where it came from, until I got an accidental glance into the kitchen. Seeing one of the cooks in there with a cigarette in his mouth made me almost leave the restaurant. Having the staff smoke inside a restaurant is not something that I consider good manners or hygiene. Therefore, only a total of three stars. The food is rather good, though. Just not for the squeamish.

I come here regularly and eat the bun bowl with tofu. The portion is very large and delicious! Good value for money. The dish with peanut sauce is also great. The restaurant isn't decorated in a particularly fancy way, but it's still very nice. It's usually not that crowded, and you can always find a quiet seat.

The food was great every time. Freshly prepared, beautifully served, and absolutely delicious! The homemade lemonades are also highly recommended. The decor is simple but good. The presentation of the side sauces in wooden boxes is beautiful.
