Beyond expectations
I love this restaurant.
It's had the same sign up for years and although it's changed hands a couple of times, it's always done great food.
They do the best edamame in the world and non stop green tea too.
It's run by a lovely lady and I eat in here more than I eat at home!

I went here last night and it's the third time this month, I'm going to turn into a bowl of miso soup if I’m not careful.
The reason I like this place when there is Yum Yums and Noodle house so close is that it has a huge variety of oriental dishes served by really friendly staff that do recognise you and is reasonably priced.
It not only does restaurant food by take away too, but if you do eat in the place is very sweet. Small and compact but tidy.
I really would recommend this place if you are feeling a little lazy and want something a little different other than a standard Chinese.

Great neighbourhood oriental restaurant

Above expectations
I was really hoping this little restaurant, just round the corner from my house, would be the type of place I imagine is scattered all over New York. You know, the cheap little neighbourhood Japanese restaurants where locals go for quick bowls of steaming noodles when they can't be bothered to cook anything.
It certainly looks the part, a homely purple painted place with wooden tables and stools, and the menu in the window displaying Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes with little costing over £5. Worried my high hopes were unrealistic, I had to try this place out.
And guess what? I've found exactly the place I was after.
My benchmark testing phad thai was yummy, if a little sweet, with good thick noodles and fresh ingredients. My husband's wonton soup had loads of nice soft dumplings and great flavour. The menu says they'll fix up what you want if it's not on the menu. Service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere is chilled. They also do take out and free home delivery for orders over £10. I just know I'll be coming here often.
