Destiny Asian food — Restaurant in Ghent

The place itself is normal, very basic and simply but it has a good vibe, the service is good and the waiter is very kind, but the food for this price is a scam. The food should cost 1/3 or they should start to...

It says not European Asian food which is true . It is different from the Asian food which adopted into European style which use lots of combine flower etc. However the price is a bit expensive compare its taste, environment and portion. We ordered garlic pork belly as appetizer , it's more like garlic cucumber instead of garlic porkbelly :/ the hotpot rice noodle is also too plain. The taste is just ok , for the same amount of money, I will go to Antwerp for the real...
