We also really liked the crispy fish salad and the corn fritters (like regular fish cakes... but better!). And, although you can get massaman beef curry anywhere, this one was good because both the potatoes and the meat were in small pieces so they soaked up more of the flavor. It's definitely not as cheap as say, Lemongrass, but I think it's worth it when you want something more special. We also had a glass of chardonnay with our meal and it complemented nicely. The tasting menu was good because it let us try many things, but in the end it was a bit too much food. It just depends on what you're in the mood for.

We…read moreordered several plates, but my favorites were the Crispy Chicken (crispy fried chicken in a sweet chili sauce) and Fish in a Coconut (light and aromatic fish curry presented in a young coconut shell, ordered at a no/mild spicy level). They don't mess around with the spice here - the chili peppers on the menu are a good indicator of spice level, but you can adjust the level of heat if you ask your server. We tried the Drunken Noodles at regular spicy level (3 chili peppers on the menu), and it was indeed spicy...in fact, it was too spicy for some of the older relatives in our group. The dish itself was very tasty, but the heat really added up. The interior decor is lovely and there's a nice outdoor patio area as well. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Great meal overall!

This is all about good food…read more It is a restaurant which is street level in Canberra city within a large retail precinct. There is indoor and out door seating available; it is set up to be functional with little emphasis on the ambience. Dishes we enjoyed were: - pepper salted chilli calamari - honey king prawns - chicken w macadamia nuts and button mushrooms - shan tung lamb - english spinach w garlic sauce The chicken was a beautiful dish, lovely even taste and good flavours. Shan tung lamb is always good here too. Looking for a casual meal on the go, with some friends or passing through. This place serves consistent food which is well priced with efficient service.

Very large dim sum portions. The pork belly was interesting. The pork belly itself was really tender but soul not call it "teriyaki infused". More like "spicy barbecue infused". Though not the flavor I was wanting it was ok I guess. Not saying bad but not what j thought I was getting. For that three stars. BUT I will be back to taste more.

Like good sushi?...then this is a must visit…read more Located in Manuka this small eating house has been turning out great sushi for many years. There is limited inside seating, perhaps seating for 12 and approximately the same quota of seats for footpath dining however do not let this deter you. It has excellent take out and is well set up to cope with busy periods. It is common place to see long lunch times queues and I have been part of them. Service is very efficient and the wait is normally short. So how good are the sushi rolls? At least 8 out of 10, and my favourites include the salmon and avocado, the cooked tuna and crumbed prawn are delicious...actually they 13 variants are right up there. And there is more too....the vegetable and king prawn tempuras' are really tasty. The food is always so fresh, tasty and the quality is so consistently good.
