Food Quality
Pros:
"dim sum was excellent and served quickly and piping hot...loved the shared platter for starters."
"Had the spicy edamame for starters and the Tom Yum soup for mains. Absolutely mind blowingly delicious."
"The food was lovely, beautifully presented, tasty and worth the money (Winchester prices)."
"The food was fantastic... Amazing flavours and very well priced."
"The food is delicious. We had vegan chicken black bean, coconut rice noodle, firecracker cauliflowers, vegetable dim sum and edamame beans, finally mochi as desert."
"Really tasty food and fantastic service, everything we ate was absolutely fantastic!"
"Food was great very flavoursome. Had pad Thai and shredded beef."
Cons:
"Quite far from Asian taste. Not enough of spices in both dishes, chicken breast definitely been not fresh in my Pad Thai."
"The food was the worst Asian cuisine I've ever tasted, and the menu was painfully limited."
"Food was very disappointing. Green Thai curry was the worst I have eaten."
"The ramen was in a sorry sort of state: the pork was not tender, the portion of noodles very small."
"The whole meal was poor though, it all needed microwaving as it was cold, and portion size was absolutely tiny."
"The pad Thai was sugary, should put a warning sign for diabetics!"
"The chow mein was hands down the worst I've ever bar. Bland, unflavoured tasting tofu and the noodles really lacked flavour too."

"The service was simply exceptional."
"Our waiter was attentive and charming."
"Service was impeccable, prompt and efficient without being intrusive."
Cons:
"Haven't been in for a while. Service slow, intermittent items missing during the meal. Portions really quite small."
"very poor service. Starters missed, long wait between courses and no communication between the staff."
"Service was terrible; we had to repeatedly request basic items like cutlery and sharing soup bowls, and they didn't take instructions properly."
"Interesting how poor the service is when they don’t have to directly look the customer in the eye."
"Severely let down by the lacklustre greeting and service from the guy with the beard."
"On arrival me and my partner were greeted in a rude manor from the waitress."
"The service was appalling. I couldn't believe how rude they were."
Value
Pros:
"We ordered quite a lot of food but we have a taste card and in the end we ended up spending less than £100 for 5 people eating starters, mains, sides and having a few cocktails each."
"Two starters, two main courses and a cocktail for £26 each. Brilliant."
"Very economical."
"Food was priced well, good portion sizes, delicious food, great service, good vibes."
"Prices very reasonable. Great place."
"A main and starter for £12.95 per person was amazing."
"Good value for money."
Cons:
"Very pricey given portion size and very sweet but best of a bad lot."
"It's very expensive for what you get, even with the discount for doing click and collect."
"I find this restaurant a little bit pricy for the stuff they're serving."
"The only thing that leaves a sour taste is adding a 10% service charge to the bill."
"It was okay. We still feel this is a slightly overpriced experienced."
"Bland and overpriced."
"Not a good takeaway, delivered by Deliveroo, crispy beef was nothing close to what it should have been, awful, crispy duck was ok, Pad Thai again awful, nothing like what is should be like."

"Nice clean bright place to eat dinner and not too loud."
"The atmosphere is warm and welcoming."
"Really fun, buzzy place…love the interior design too."
"Great atmosphere, great service and delicious food."
Cons:
"the toilets, on the level below, are dark and dingy like a cave."
"Hygiene is obviously lacking. Needs a food safety inspection."
"The atmosphere left a lot to be desired: the interior glass windows need cleaning due to visible finger prints all over them, same for the mirrors, and the far wall near the window is covered in graffiti and scratches."
"we were given filthy menu’s and already used napkins."
"rud waitress and paying bill was nightmare."
"All a bit embarrassing really. Eaten in the restaurant a few times and generally ok. Takeaway however was absolutely laughable."
"The food was unbelievable as was the service."

Cons:
"Poor parking and you have to pay in Winchester town."
"seating is limited to quite a small number, regarding the small building."
"They recently opened up for collection but probably shouldn’t have. No one was around when it was time to collect."
"the food tasted stale and not like it was fresh and I also had food poisoning for two days after."
"Walked in and went unnoticed by one of the employees."
"Our order got forgotten, most of the people came in, ordered, ate and left before we got our food."
"After our starters it was clear they forgot about our mains."
