Grub: A wide variety of dishes from around Asia.
Vibe: A large window provides a bright and airy ambience. The wall opposite the window is hung with framed photos of dishes, while retro light fitting and a large clock add quirky touches. Staff are friendly, helpful and happy to offer recommendations.
Who to bring: Set lunches and tea sets make it a cool place to hang out with friends or family.
What's hot: There's an intriguing menu where Malaysian-style roti shares a page with pan-fried shrimps, kimchi and tofu. Indeed, most of the cuisines of East Asia are represented one way or another. There's so much here, it can be tricky to know where to start - the appetisers section is by no means the only option. Turnip cake, dumplings and satay are just some of the many choices.
The range of noodles available is as impressive as the dishes they can go into. There are rice-flour noodles, Thai-style flat noodles, vermicelli and udon. They are available fried, in soups or, as in the eggplant and minced pork with udon, in a hot pot. This is a particularly delicious dish cooked in a mildly spicy fish soy sauce.
