Went to this restaurant based on all the good reviews. Ordered Chicken Pad Thai with egg (for an additional 1 Euro) and one order of chicken spring rolls (4 pieces) for a total of 18,40 Euros.

Hunger satisfied - and a laugh along the...
Read moreone of the better Pad Thai’s you can find in Lyon. The flavors were just right, not too bland, not too spicy, and not too sweet. The portion size was decent for one person and found the chicken to be seasoned and cooked very well. The restaurant is simple and cozy with a very welcoming staff. The prices are very reasonable and range from 8 -11,5€ for your main dish. Would definitely visit again and will try other dishes in hopes they are as excellent as...
