    First time at the restaurant and was very happy! Starters were amazing, and allergies were very well catered for. None of us had tried Pho before and one of the dishes seemed a bit undercooked, but portion sizes were great and we went away satisfied. Would go again!

    Service was awful. It was a busy Bank Holiday Monday. We arrived early at 12.30pm but were told the table was ready. We gave our order for drinks, starters and mains to the server and our drinks arrived shortly afterwards. This was all good. After 1 hour we chased up the starters to be told they would be 5 minutes. After a further 10 minutes we chased again and were told there had been a till error and our starters hadn't been ordered. They were then rushed through and we eventually ate starters after 1 hr 20 of being in the restaurant. Then immediately our mains arrived (well 3 or the 4 did), our server rushed us through the starters, taking away half full plates to put the mains down. The 4th main arrived ten minutes after the rest. After this, I asked the lead server, a guy with sandy curly hair if there was anything they could do for us since we'd had such a long wait for both courses. I explained I wasn't happy and he said all he could do was remove the optional service. Reluctantly I agreed. Given the wait, it would have been so easy for them to offer us some extra drinks, even some free prawn crackers, or simply a small bill reduction. Anyway, we paid the bill and then stood up to leave. The restaurant was very full and the passageway we were stood in was tight. We had a booth seat so had to get out of the table to get our bags and coats. There was another customer waiting to exit the tables nearby with a pram. She was waiting patiently for us to move from the passageway when the lead server came over and said in a sharp manner "can you lot move please? Theres someone trying to get past you! My sister and her kids moved out of the way with a start, into the only available space, only then to be tutted again by the staff for again being in the way! Clearly the staff here are not at all happy in their jobs and their passively aggressive manner didn't go unnoticed. We spent over £100 and got a nicely cooked meal, let down very badly by some terrible attitude.

    This was my first visit and I really enjoyed it for my birthday dinner with friends. The food was really lovely. I don’t eat meat and there was plenty of choices for me on the menu. I had a wonderful pancake starter and a curry with rice for my main course and the portions were plentiful. I thought the cocktail was not so good but the wine with the meal was lovely and the service was very helpful. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

    When we came a couple of weeks ago we had the chicken and prawn noodles and it was superb. It had lots of vegetables, prawns and chicken. This time we ordered the same meal but there was hardly any veg ( just 2 mange tout) and the prawns and chicken were sparse - didn't seem like the same meal. Very disappointing.

    Two utterly trivial comments! 1. There has been no squid on the menu for months now and; 2. Extract needs a look at - dining area invaluable ‘moody’! But great though. My wife and I come here every week - I find the vegan and vegetarian options to be amongst the best locally.

    Nice food, nice staff, took a while to get our food though but it wasn’t too bad. I don’t appreciate the already added on “optional” service charge, £9 for an 18 year old couple still in school is quite a lot. Felt too pressured to pay it than say no. Would still come back though.
