"A hidden gem at the old town offering good chinese and south east asian food options. Lots of diverse options to choose from. Both tofu curry and fish in mushroom were tasty. The 350gm portion size are huge. There is also an option for 500gms. Prices are quite reasonable. The ambience is quite nice . Service is good. Highly recommended if craving for some umami burst in your mouth!"

"We came there with friends during Camerimage festival. We wait quiet so long just for order food, it was about 10-15min. We ordered multiple variants of food. I ordered the Pad Thai. It was not bad it was not good. What's weird they serve asian food on italian dishes...!? There is sticker on the door of the restaurant with i formation about "you can pay by card" but that's a lie. I don't know if it's temporary problem or some trick but there was a sign just in polish about paying only in cash. Employees didn't warn us for that. I have a small amount of cash but I have to go to widraw more."

"Really large portions and good prices. Taste is good, although it isn't completely asian. The flour used for the chicken is too sweet, like cake so it loses the savory taste. The stir fry with the bamboo is really good."
