Just the two of us, and it was very quiet as we ate early. We were made to feel very welcome by the proprietor. We ordered tom yam gung and Thai crispy noodle salad for starters. The soup was fragrant and spicy, with no shortage of prawns. The salad was a delight, crunchy lettuce and noodles, dressed with a chilli, honey and ginger sauce. Fabulous. And a huge portion. For mains we ordered Thai prawn red curry, sweet and sour chicken and plain noodles. The portions were huge! I’ve never had so many huge prawns in a curry before, and the curry sauce was wonderful and spicy, with plenty of coconut milk. Equally the chicken would have fed 2 people (or more). And we managed about a third of the noodles! Washed down with a pint of local beer and a coke. The bill was €32. Superb value. My advice is go there hungry, order the red Thai prawn curry, and have a great meal! Will I return? If I’m in Rota again, definitely....

Amazing and the food is really good. The prices are totally at the low end and the quality at the high end. A nice blend of Chinese, Thai and a little Japanese with attention to the American and Spanish palates. Go here for Asian food in Rota!
