This restaurant is by the entrance to the Greenwood Plaza, which is opposite to the train station and has tables directly facing the street in between. If you decide to sit there to enjoy the view be warned that sometimes there are smokers standing nearby.
I had the Crying Tiger, E-Sarn Ribs, tumeric rice and the Lyn Chee Mojito in that order.
The Crying Tiger ($19) is spicy dish with tender pieces of wagyu beef, which are sizzled in such a way as to melt when inside my mouth. Needless to say I swallowed one after another very easily. The Crying Tiger is paired with some stir fried greens, dressed in a light tamarind sauce, which escaped me now as I was too involved with tasting and savouring the chared outside of the wagyu but still juicy on the inside. Yum!
For the E-Sarn Ribs ($14) I had to put away the cutlery because these sticky pork ribs were meant to be eaten with fingers. I found the ribs to be somewhat fatty, an indication that maybe they were not cooked long enough to render the fat. Having said that, the accompanied salad also dressed in tamarind sauce did the job in cutting through the fatty taste as did the dried chillies. They were really tasty and I wasn't afraid to get my fingers let alone my mouth covered in a dry rub cum tamarind glazing get in the way of a finger-licking-good time.
I enjoyed the Tumeric Rice ($4) with these two dishes. But as I dug into them beads of sweat started to form on my forehead. The dried chillies were started to have an effect on my taste buds. It was time to quench it all with the Lyn Chee Mojito ($8), an iced and fancy lime drink served with pieces of lime and...
Read moreWe will not be back again!! 3 of us ordered tom yum soup, stewed beef noodles (in soup) and stewed chicken noodles (dry). The tom yum was, for the price, very small in portion. 4 prawns and a couple of pieces of oyster mushroom was all that was given. $12 +$3 for a mountainous bowl of rice. The tom yum was really small in size. And the prawns weren't large but small. Honestly, that's a rip off. The chicken noodles lacked flavour of any kind. Just soy sauce chicken with egg noodles. Noodles were tasteless like as if hey were just boiled and tossed in. No flavouring of noodles and chicken very simply cooked with hardly any taste. $14 a rip off. Lastly, my poor son ordered the beef noodle soup which tasted more like a desert. The soup for the noodles was SO SWEET. Yuck. I wonder if the chef tasted the broth after cooking. I have eaten enough boat noodles and beef noodles to know that is not the way it should taste. $14 another rip off. And worst of all, the beef noodles took the longest to arrive after everyone had finished eating and customers who had ordered later than us had received their food. Not going back again. Poor service and mediocre food. Suggest other more authentic places in neutral bay. Disappointing. One star is for clean glassware...
Read moreLive on the South Coast and stayed at the Vibe hotel and had too many bottles of wine in our hotel room, so wanted some where close to eat and we tried this place So glad we did. Came here Friday night and liked it so much that we came back Saturday night as well. Friendly staff, good service and food comes out quickly. Nice big servings and well priced for what your pay. BYO with only a $3.00 fee each person. The massaman beef is to die for, with a huge amount of beef in the dish. We went to Thailand late last year and this dish was better than any we found in Thailand. Will come back for sure and thank you for 2 great nights.
