Handa — Restaurant in Padua

We arrived there around 7pm when it was just opened so there was no guests but the place was fully packed in the next 30 minutes (I suggest you to make a reservation before coming). The place was aesthetically pleasing, simple yet modern. The waiters were also friendly and helpful. He asked us if we wanted a fork since they only provide chopsticks on the tables.

They serve Asian food from a few different countries🤩 we ordered tom yum and pad thai. The food arrived in around 10 minutes (probably also because we are the first customers of the night) and they look good and appealing. The portion size was also pretty big and worth the price.

I loveee their pad thai😍 it was good and tasty. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of their tom yum. It was just okay and not tasty enough for me. Tom yum is supposed to be sour and a bit spicy but I didn't find it sour and spicy at all😓 even after I added leftover lime from the pad thai, it still didn't help. I'll be waiting for an improvement on the tom yum. Overall, I still recommend Handa. Worth to try when you want...

Food acceptable, place like many others through whole Europe - mix of Asian food without anything special except higher price cause we have neons inside and strangely named beverages. Unfortunately they are also racist - how you ask - by colour? No, by religion maybe? Also no! By your look? No, for sure they want you to feel accept no matter how you look. So why they are racist? They racism is by numbers. If it’s one person table you are absolutely the worst and they will do anything not to serve you or you can ask to go … two people are acceptable only if two person table is free. But hey! They are happy to serve 3 or more people. No matter how they look and in what language they are speaking. And I’m 100% sure they are very touched by all of the problems of this world like Gaza, enviorment and alt-rights...

We’ve ordered different types of gyoza for starters that were rather dull in flavors. Why they have to put tzatziki on so many dishes remains their little secret. I’m all for pairing different cuisines and trying combinations that seem odd at first glance. But this tzatziki thing - it just doesn’t make any sense. I had it also on top of my curry noodles that did not offer any curry flavors whatsoever. Zero. If anything it tasted like a simple chow mein - again - with tzatziki. My partner described his dish as very neutral as well. All in all very disappointing experience that did not offer authentic flavors. Also their service could be improved: I got my main just about the time my partner finished his. I’m not going to a restaurant to eat separately - and if I have to, I’d like to hear a simple...
