Firecracker was a fun little joint that almost seems hidden from the street. You walk down a flight of stairs and a cute restaurant with private karaoke rooms is waiting for you! I was quite impressed with how well the rooms held the karaoke music in- we really only heard what was happening when people were walking in and out of their rooms. We ordered some soup and dim sum and everything was quite tasty! I did knock a star because truthfully service was not great, but it didn't appear to be that way for everyone. It felt like the staff heard our accent and was attentive to everyone in the restaurant except us.

Firecracker is close to one of our offices which is to say that it's great because we generally…read morehave very limited options around where we are on the River. I loved their bento boxes because you can do many variety of options and pick and choose as you wish. In my case I had all proteins and few vegetables. Our office has avocados and fruits so I didn't feel that I needed that extra layer of veggies. For 9 £, or under 12 bucks, one can get a whole lot more lunch than one would get, say from San Francisco. I also found the decor surprisingly pan Asia which is neat. This is one of the approachable places you could get by Westminster Abbey, and given how sad and limited the food choices are around here, I would give it a four star - simply it's within walking distance from work and it's what you'd expect from an Asian fusion restaurant.

Staying at the Bankside and wanted a close and quick bite to eat. While it is close, the restaurant…read moreis definitely not quick or efficient but we probably didn't help this by ordering the set menu. I ordered the Modern Thai set menu and it came with 3 starters - a spicy mango salad, chicken curry puff and black bean shrimp. All were tasty and moderately spicy but nothing was a stand-out. Entrees included truffle fried rice, curry chicken and grilled sea bass. The fish was perfectly cooked, I'm sad I didn't get a photo. Dinner ended with mango and sticky black rice, which was only ok despite its moniker. Not the best Thai/Asian food I've had but it did the job. Decor is beautiful - stunning wallpaper, Asian decor and tableware. Restaurant is quite large and seems to go up forever. Service was slow, we asked for the last few dishes to be brought together and dessert to be boxed up. Again, this is more our fault than theirs and they were more than accommodating which I appreciated.

Oaka At The Mansion offers a Thai menu with traditional dishes including curries, stir fry, noodles, etc. You order & pay at the bar, and they bring everything out to you when it's ready. I landed on the Cashew Nut chicken and my husband got the Sea Bass Sweet Chili. The portions of both dishes were pretty large. The sea bass was more flavorful with a nice sticky sweet, spicy, tangy sauce. The chicken in my dish tasted off and didn't have much flavor but the veggies with rice was not bad. This place seems to be pretty busy. We got there at a decent time because there were a big slew of people who came in after us. There were may people coming in for taking out orders as well.

They do not shy away from the spicy heat, and I love it! The beef appetizer was too spicy for my (teen) daughter, but she loved the plain dosa so much that she ordered a second one. The broccoli appetizer was almost too spicy for me, but it was SO good! The chicken kari was actually not spicy, but incredibly flavorful. And the chili cheese dosa was perfection. I loved everything I tasted. The restaurant is tiny and a bit cramped. You'll be right up close against the people next to you, but you'll be so into the food that you won't mind at all!

The starters alone are worth a trip, and there were so many I wanted to try, they're actually all I had. Don't judge. They were amazing. The Pumpkin Croquettes were a slightly sweet and crispy version of traditional croquettes, deep-fried to perfection, with a light and smooth finish. Two will set you back a mere £3.10. While the spring rolls are good, I highly recommend the Vegetarian Duck Rolls, made with slightly sweet tofu skin, spring onions, cucumber, and Hoi Sin sauce. Three of those healthy rolls are a whopping £4.60. Finally, the Chicken Yakitori was also a dish worth it's weight in pounds, char-grilled to perfection and doused in a sweet yakitori sauce. A few skewers costs around £4.10. The rest of the menu is not only enormous, but sure to please any seafood-lover, especially sushi. They serve just about any Asian-inspired dish you can think of, including salads, ramen dishes, rice dishes, noodles of many different varieties, tempura, and sushi rolls, with a perfectly-paired sake menu to boot. But really, those side dishes are to die for.
