First impression was ok as my friend and I wanted a quiet and private place to chat and have a simple brunch. My friend ordered a breakfast with juice and I ordered a avocado&egg wrap, a soda water and Jasmine oolong tea for both. Juice and soda water came half an hour later, my friend received her breakfast 20 minutes later and I got my wrap 20 minutes later. From the moment I ordered to the moment I got my wrap and hour and half passed (what I assume is a long time for what we ordered) and we didn’t got our plates at the same time which I understard it is what should be done. Jasmine tea never came, they forgot, I asked them 20 minutes after I finished and they were completely out of space… totally forgot, I also had to ask them to take the empty plates away.

So to not even have the lowest of speeds is honestly baffling.
Pros: good setting and atmosphere to get through a coffee or a nice light Asian meal.
Cons: no WiFi which means you can get any work going to answer a few emails as you wait for your meal.
If this changes in the future. I’ll come back to offer them a 5 star rating. Because otherwise for Masaki it satisfies a unique...
Read moreAfter 6 weeks in Tanzania I craved this bowl of spicy beef noodle soup with my entire being. It hit the spot! I had the watermelon yakult drink and also the lemon cheesecake for dessert. We also ordered the sweet potato balls and the two other noodle dishes together. It was so much food we could barely move. Very very spicy! Very delicious. I think they could add more meat in the soup for balance, was just a few small pieces. I ate the leftovers for dinner. Will...
