The tom yum soup was good the flavours were there , just a tad too salty for my liking . My friend had the squash soup which was good.

Tried the papaya & vermicelli salads . They weren't for me personally but my friend really enjoyed the vermicelli salad.

Now for the main dishes .

I had the beef curry which had deep & rich flavour but missing something however the star is the crispy duck my friend had it was delicious I wish I had gotten that. It was a 10/10 . Overall I'd say it was good but definitely netter out there but the service was top notch.

The'duck' texture & flavours were bang-on, & the papaya & green curry were also amazing. But really, I came to write about one of
the yummiest cocktails I've had to date (MK2). & the service? Awesome.

Honestly the best Asian vegan restaurant ever. The crispy duck could fool any non vegan!

Update, came back after some time & was very disappointed in their'chicken' skewers. They used to be so good, individual crispy pieces , now they are just a cut up loaf of seitan I can buy at the grocery store. Not worth the price anymore

La nourriture était bonne & les prix raisonnables. C'est un très bon restaurant végane. Il y a vraiment beaucoup de choix

Par contre, le service (quoique très sympathique) pourrait être amélioré : les serveurs viennent pas vraiment nous revoir, il faut se lever pour demander quelques choses. L'ambiance pour également être amélioré.
