"Great service, nice little restaurant. Food was okay, some dishes better than others and portions sizes smaller than expected. The breaded chicken with rice & chilli sauce was a bit dry and tasteless. My friends said their dishes were very good, especially the Teriyaki chicken and classic fried rice. They have a fairly good selection of beer and wine. However, the coffee is awful!"

"Order - Pad Ka-Phrao - Beef Stir-fried chilli, basil leaves, green beans and oyster sauce served with jasmine rice. Teriyaki Chicken - Marinated and grilled chicken with special teriyaki sauce on top of rice. Chicken Satay - Chicken breasts marinated in satay seasoning served with peanut sauce and cucumber relish. Time - 40 mins in the place. 20 mins waiting and 20 mins to eat it. Presentation - see pics. Quality - 4/5 - really nice and great flavours, the teriyaki chicken was a bit dry but nothing the sauce couldn't sort out. Better than what you would expect from a fairly new restaurant in bishopbriggs. Quantity - 2.5/5 - average, not too much or too little. No dessert menu. I could have went a desert. Value for money - £28 for the 2 of us without drinks (water) very good value for money. Especially eating in. Ended up with a parking ticket as well which was £30 lol would rather the restaurant got that but oh well. Additionally - The restaurant wasn't that busy. It was a Thursday night when the world cup is on. There were no chopsticks in sight and the decor wasn't really welcoming the walls need painted a lighter colour. The service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. I would recommend this place. We didn't book and got seated no bother at all. Great meal for 14 quid a head."

"It's really good to have a different restaurant option in Bishopbriggs, went in group of four and all our meals really tasty. The satay sauce was favourite in starters and the Paneng curry was really tasty, would definitely have again. The drinks menu while fairly small is very reasonably priced."

"Very quick service and fantastic food, only minor inconvenience was the sink wasn’t in order however alternatives were provided and the toilet could have been in a better location as was slightly close by the sink. These paled in significance with how excellent the meal was and the great staff, absolutely will be here again."

"Had a stunning dinner last night. There wasn’t a single bad bite. We got the sharing platter to start. The small was plenty for three of us. I went for the chicken khao soi for my main and it was incredible. It was quite busy so would advise booking to be certain you’ll get a table. Very reasonable drink prices as well. I will be back!"
