"We ate here for dinner last night, having found some great reviews on Yelp! As an Australian, I've gotten used to top notch Asian cuisines (Chinese/Thai/Filipino) that don't seem to have their match here in England! We ordered the Set Menu B for 2 people (vegetarian). The veg starter mixed platter was deep fried tofu and veg, and they came with delicious sweet and sour, peanut, and chili/peanut sauces. My favourite was the corn fritters. A+ Our mains were green curry, black magic aubergine (soy sauce stir fry), and a pad seeyu, served with jasmine rice. We added the laksa to try as well. We enjoyed the aubergine, which also had Chinese mushrooms sautéed in, giving a rich and vibrant flavour. Unfortunately, I've had much better green curry (my favourite dish normally); I felt the flavours weren't fresh, you could barely taste the hints of ginger, and the coriander seemed weak too (try making a green curry paste from scratch, and you'll see exactly what I mean). I've never made laksa, but again I felt the flavours weren't mind-blowing. My pad seeyu had an extremely dry noodle, one that was hard and inedible. Again, the taste was slightly underwhelming, even though I was constantly squeezing fresh lime juice over the bites I took. We had coconut and green tea ice creams for dessert. We loved the taste and texture of the coconut, which melted in the mouth nicely, having a few bits of coconut too. The green tea was a more sherbet-like texture. It was an extremely interesting matcha taste, but the texture missed the mark for me. When we arrived, we were one of two tables eating; by the time we left, the whole restaurant was full! A great, bustling ambience. The waiter kindly kept our bags in a little room so we didn't have to sit wth them (we'd traveled that day), so thank you for the service! Unfortunately, I won't be back here; when I eat out, it's for food that I'm passionate about, and this missed the mark for me."
