“ This used to be our go to place for vegan Asian food. but that changed after they now charge extra even for a small portion of rice. The way this new rule was communicated felt a bit unfriendly, which really changed our experience. ”
“ Unfortunately, I managed to get there only 20 minutes before closing. I was offered to take food with me, which I did. It turned out to be a wonderful vegetarian pho, very good in terms of spices, with a rather unusual filling. So I hope that next time I will be able to try something else in this cafe. ”
“ The food is amazing! I tried a bit of my friends’ food and everything tasted great! And of course, the spiciness makes it even better. If you can’t stand spicy food, you can definitely request to the staff. There’s non spicy food options as well. The prices are also quite cheap considering the restaurant being in the city centre. The atmosphere doesn’t look so promising but the food compensates everything else the staff were very friendly as well. I would love to come back if I ever go to Helsinki again someday! ”
