I was looking forward to trying this restaurant in Gent, especially after reading all the good reviews on Tripadvisor. The place is nice, but quite noise. We sat on the first floor, which is anyway communicating with the ground floor, where the atmosphere is very nice. We ordered 2 starters: tuna with sesame and some "mosselen" and 2 main dishes...

This time we ate: mussels with red curry sauce: perfectly prepared so the flavour of the... More

Although I am not so fond of the eastern kitchen, we had a marvelous meal in the food affair. We started with spring rolls, and ordered immediately an extra portion. Devine. The Malaysian stew that followed was one of the best stews I ever had. Not cheap, but very good.

Japanese filet pur, lamb, chicken green curry ... also delicious! Al dishes have a litte asian touch. Normally we don't like asian food that much ... but... More

This is my favourite restaurant in Ghent and its far surroundings. I have been eating here at least once a month for the past 5 years. Lovely service by the lady of the house, loungy atmosphere and always superb and unique Asian influenced food. Outstanding and fairly priced winelist as well. I can't think of any better non-Michelinstar rated place... More
