Lai Kanok

🫳🫳🫳 Not bad But not amazing

Tried:

• Morning glory / Kang kong / 空芯菜
• Curry crab
• Pad Thai
• Chicken rice

Morning glory ★★☆☆☆ Texture was good, but lacked garlic and saltiness. Was quite sweet. Nothing like the proper dish in terms of taste. Not recommended unless you like things sweet

Curry crab ★★★★☆ The sauce was very tasty, and the crab was great. However, they didn’t break the shell well, nor did they provide tools for opening the shell (all we had were disposable chopsticks). It was quite messy to eat. Be careful if you don’t want to get your hands dirty.

Pad Thai ★★★★☆ A tad sweet, but quite tasty. My partner really enjoyed it.

Chicken rice ★★★☆☆ Standard dish. Not bad, but nothing particularly special. If you like it, it’s worth ordering it.

Service ★★☆☆☆ We were hurried a lot (e.g. to leave the store) plates were sometimes taken when there was still food on the plates. Maybe staff aren’t compensated well enough and just want to leave early.

We were forced to pay at the table, but it’s cash only. Seems like they’re trying to be fancy, but they just don’t want to pay credit card fees?

Overall: Would go there if there was nothing else better. But personally I prefer a place in Yushima.
