Like the hustle and bustle of all big cities, this brilliant restaurant brings the relaxed unhurried service of some amazing foods to you to sit comfortably and to take some time out, the weight off your feet, whilst you watch the world go by in front of you.

Vibrant minty salads, ice cold authentic beers in chilled glasses, meats which melt in your mouth with hints of green papaya, soft noodles, soups you can never get enough of, make you want to sit for longer than normal – but that is the whole beauty of the place - the trains and buses are immediately opposite. Remember the recommendations of the freshly cooked daily menus is not immediately obvious, especially if one is not sure what to order, so by asking about what you fancy to eat, the friendly staff will provide you with sharing bowls and it’s a great way of ordering a variety of dishes. Condiments, sauces, all of which are supplementary (and a necessity) come alongside your dishes for a reason - to excite your taste buds.
