Cons:

Food Quality

  • "The food was not as exciting, I have had much better Vietnamese food in crystal palace and whitechapel."
  • "The aubergine is a must! Still craving it even though I had it last night. The chicken wings are super crispy. Pork and prawn spring rolls were different but the sauce that came with was a bit tasteless. Chicken curry was a bit bland."
  • "The minced beef rolls... Overcooked, so therefore tough, a bit like a kebab. But again pretty tasteless."
