The spicy chicken sticks were underwhelming and not very spicy. The Curry Laksa noodles were very tasty at £5.25. They also now have a sushi menu, with a reasonable choice; the eel nigiri was fine.

Comment added by claud: I am in love with this place, but it is a very temperamental lover. Having been here at least once a month for the last year or so, I've experienced everything from paper in my fried cod to a divine laksa taking me home to Singapore for a moment. There are sometimes 10m queues outside the restaurant on busy nights, and I've been recently told that reservations for groups smaller than 10 cannot be made (but this was on a Saturday evening - try on weekdays). Don't go with high expectations, though, but you can definitely expect great value.

Decent enough Japanese place doing relatively cheap food in pretty large portions. Kake only managed about a third of her main course. (They're happy to pack up leftovers for you, but charge 20p for this.)

Service is sometimes a little slow, but is friendly. We also had to queue for about 10 minutes to get a table at 13:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, and again at around 9pm on a Monday evening.

Vegetarians are well catered for, with a number of vegetable/tofu dishes available. The tofu is deep-fried, and reasonably tasty. Haven't checked recently about vegan-ness, but I know I ate here when I was vegan --Kake.

The drinks menu is small but varied, including some interesting soft drinks as well as beer, wine, and sake. The plum wine spritzer (£2.30) is rather nice.
