Personal favorite is the beef cheek curry, can’t believe how tender and savory it is! Recommend to those who are curious how it tastes like. Another must try is the soft shell crab curry with noodles, perfect for summer. I like the vibe and actually all the food there. Had a fun time with my friends there. Staff is nice.
