**June 2022 Visit: Sunday Dinner**
First night in Durham and me and a group of colleagues were invited to dine at this local establishment, which was footsteps away from our hotel.
Ambiance
Absolutely stunning. Upon entering it's as if you were transported to an oasis. It has major trendy fusion vibes and is a poppin' place to enjoy happy hour with friends.
Food/Drinks
Soft Shell Crab (£10.50): The restaurant is very generous with the amount of pieces served in this appetizer portion; however, it it was as crisp as I'd like it to be and it was overly breaded.
Tom Yum Soup (£7.50) This was very tasty and a very generous portion. There were many large size shrimp and the soup flavor was very fragrant. I would get this again.
Lychee Lemonade (£5) If you want a beautiful, exotic mocktail this drink will impress this is your showstopper. The purple/pink syrup on top paired with fresh mint and lemonade made such a refreshing beverage. Recommended!
Pad See Ew (£18.50) I'm not sure if I got the wrong order, but I think my dish was suppose to have both beef and shrimp, but I only got beef which was overcooked and the noodles had way too much soy sauce infused in the seasoning - it was extremely salty. I would not get this again.d
Service
It was good. Our orders were taken quickly and arrived shortly after.
Summary
Overall, some food are hit of miss, but if you want a lively spot to hang out this could a good option in Durham. Given its current 3 star average I would agree with this overall assessment. read more
