"The food was amazing. It was adequately spiced and you could taste the ingredients being fresh! The Pad Thai is to die for! The Spicy Dish and the New Empress were great too.
Additionally, the open kitchen ambience allows you to watch your food being made! Also, the service was quick and friendly."

Restaurants in Haifa
Here you'll find a welcome combination of jolly atmosphere and casual pan-Asian cuisine. It's sort of a New York lounge–style hangout, with a stainless-steel open kitchen; black tables, chairs, bar, and stools; silver photography-studio ceiling lights; and a staff in bright white T-shirts, jeans, and long black aprons. Noodles are the specialty, and most dishes are prepared in a wok.
