    The flavours were off and the dishes were prepared a little poorly. My noodles were all stuck together in one lump and my partner’s rice was a little stale. Not terrible but not worth the price.

    Had a lovely meal last night, staff friendly attentive and hard working. Drunken master cocktail was one of nicest I’ve ever had bubble tea also went down a hit. Korean chicken wings delicious My husband had the twice cooked pork belly and he loved it. My satay and my daughters Singapore noodles were lovely and spicy chip are a must. No hassle getting food wrapped up to bring home as portions are very large. 2 Starters 3 mains 2 cocktails for less than €100 on a Saturday night is very good value and we will definitely be going back soon!

    We had a table of 9 for a birthday. The food was excellent and didn't take long. The staff were very attentive and helpful with the menu. They even gave a surprise birthday cake slice at the end. The food is worth the price.

    The biggest issue with this restaurant for me is the lack of ventilation. I dined here on Saturday 14th Jan and Thursday 19th Jan and both times the lack of ventilation really let's this place down. You will smell of burned Chinese oil for the night so if you decide to come here, make sure you're going home afterwards. I get it, it's the type of food but there are plenty of places that cook this type of food in an open kitchen where the ventilation is much better.

    Starters were lovely delish but mains left it down.. 2 of us ate chicken satay and it was only ok. The colour of the sauce was pink which was a turn off. One piece of green pepper and a few onions were the only veg.. on the plus side the portion was huge if one was able to eat it all. Other party had green Thai curry with again was only ok.sauce was extremely thick and more like a heavy soup consistency. I have to compliment the cocktails though, they were amazing!
