"Booked a table of 5 for my birthday dinner. We were promptly seated then immediately asked for drinks orders before even being offered a drinks menu or water. After we had ordered drinks we were being rushed into ordering some food, every two minutes different waiters coming and asking if we are ready to order (at least 7 times). After we did order and the food was brought out, we were then just forgotten about and nobody came over anymore to check if we needed any more drinks (4 out of 5 glasses were empty) or if the food was ok. (It was- but no one checked). After we had finished dining, we still had empty glasses and had to wait 20+ minutes until we eventually stopped a waiter walking past and asked if we could order more drinks. The drinks then took another 15 minutes to come. It was also very disappointing that although we had mentioned on the booking itself that it was for my birthday, there was no acknowledgement of this (I have been before and had received a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it in some kind of sauce with a sparkler). My sister even went to ask the woman working on the front desk and received a standoffish attitude back saying no. When the £235 bill came, it even listed ‘birthday plate £0.00’ on it!!! That really let the evening down. The interactions with the staff themselves were great, they were very polite and personable but the actual level of service of being rushed to order and then totally forgotten about really dampened what could have been a fantastic evening."

"We have pretty much tried everywhere in the Poole area for breakfast, and this place is by far the best. The food was very well presented, cooked to perfection and there was plenty of it. The price is probably what you would expect for a good breakfast, but this was better than good. Kourtney served us and was very polite and attentive. It was a nice surprise to see you guys open for breakfast again. We will definitely be back regularly and will recommend you to everyone. Thank you."

"I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, but I was nervous because I don't have much experience with Asian cuisine. However, my family and I had a wonderful experience when we finally went. Phil and his wife were great hosts and the food was delicious. Even my children enjoyed the food, which was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed. We will definitely be returning. My rating: Food 5, Service 5, Atmosphere 5."

"The atmosphere is lovely and authentic, and the service is excellent—these two aspects warrant a five-star rating. However, when it comes to the main focus of the visit, which is the food, I was let down. The pasta carbonara I ordered was a far cry from what a true carbonara should be; it contained none of the traditional ingredients, such as Parmesan cheese, pancetta, or guanciale. Instead, it was made with the cheapest ingredients and was overwhelmed by single cream, a dish I could easily make better myself. I don't mean to sound overly critical, but I have high standards when it comes to culinary experiences. I sincerely hope improvements can be made in this area."
