"With 'lots of different nooks and crannies to hide in', this 'sumptuous-looking' 'colonial' Fitzrovian townhouse is 'a find for romantic meets' amidst meals of 'exotic', 'interesting' Southeast Asian-Vietnamese fare. P.S. The 'top-floor bar is a great way to pass the time.'"

N/A, Zagat 2007 - December 2006

"The food produces some finely honed pan-oriental flavours... Puddings are fun: the likes of banana and pistachio fritters or crispy chocolate orange spring rolls..."
