Description

Located just a stone’s throw from the lively town centre, this elegant restaurant, whose interior features an upmarket South Asian slant, serves modern comfort food from Vietnam, Korea, and Thailand. The dishes are generously laden and some are available in half portions, allowing diners to sample a range of specialities. We particularly enjoyed the pho soup, one of the establishment’s signature dishes, that can be customised with different ingredients according to personal taste. Each course is flanked by colourful, flavoursome dips that make the experience even more appetising.
