For those of us traveling from the far east, like from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, China, Malaysia and Singapore, you may want to take your expectations on the taste of the food created by this restaurant down a few notches. The food here is more fusion than authentic asian. The shrimp dumping could be heated from pre-packed frozen food, the Thai spring rolls are filled with bean sprouts, while they feel crunchy in the mouth but they are too fibrous to swallow, turnips is a better alternative, and the shrimp fried rice is just wet, and we all know that we use cooked rice left overnight to make a good fried rice the following day (you just need to watch Uncle George’s YouTube vids on fried rice to know what I mean). So, for the taste of the food that we have ordered, I would give it a 2 for trying very hard. For service, I think the staff is attentive. For this I give this effort a 3. So the average score is 2.5, but since there isn’t a 2.5 star on the scoreboard, I would award this restaurant 3...
Read moreWasn’t great. Average at best. I went on google and tripadvisor to read reviews for this place before ordering, I am surprised that it is getting so many positive reviews.

The real disappointment was the Thai green curry, which wasn’t really a curry but rice with a microscopic minuscule amount of sauce mixed into it and some vegetables, it was not authentic at all there was not enough Thai green curry sauce, it was bland and flavourless. From a person who has spent a lot of time in Asia, I know how a Thai curry should be. The prices also aren’t fantastic for the average/low quality, I found it to be more expensive than it should be. this restaurant is really average at...
Read moreAm finishing lunch at this place right now. Cold, curt and biased behavior by the waiter. He aint interested in serving at all. Many points here- 1. He didn't serve us fish chip but served on the other table. There is no question of confusion here as only two tables including us were filled and the rest tables had no cuetomers. 2. He is showing frustation when we are asking for salt and pepper, plates etc. - the most basic of things required at a restaurant. 3. He never came back to ask if anything else is needed, such as sauce etc. Food- Average kungpao chicken- had a tomato ketchup flavor. Bad dumplings-oil in which it was stir fried is reheated and hence dumplings have foul smell.
No wonder the nearby chinese restaurant 'alfani 149' had many customers when we passed by it and this place had almost...
