Clearly a local favourite - a big bright diner cafe with all day breakfasts, paninis, toasties and wraps, alongside a separate pan-Asian menu encompassing sushi, Chinese and Hong Kong cuisine like ma po tofu and beef ho fun, Malaysian favourites like seafood laksa, rendang, nasi goreng and Thai curries. I was in Nottingham for a few days and just kept returning here with pals, so o got to see some of the highlights and try a number of things. Everything we tried was delicious, and the portions were really filling. The Char Kway Teow and the Nasi Goreng were both crammed with giant king prawns, the chicken satay was rich and nutty, the Hainanese chicken rice was really succulent, and the rice was fragrant and savoury. The Nasi Lemak was described as "a BIG chicken leg" and arrived exactly as promised, with crispy skin. I completed the week with the braised aubergine with pork in a chilli garlic sauce, and it was brilliant as well - massive portion, deep savoury flavours. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

Absolutely love this place, one of mine, my partner’s and my friend’s favourite places in Nottingham and we are constantly bringing new friends in. The owner and staff are so lovely and bend over backwards for you (understandably less so when it is busy on a Friday and Saturday) and are even dog friendly which we didn’t expect, and always give our dog a treat when we come in! The atmosphere and decor are quite no frills but in the best possible way, very family ran diner style. It reminds me a bit of Midnight Diner or local Japanese eateries. Cutlery trays of chopsticks, forks and knives, napkins and condiments on each table and water dispensers by the counter etc. The food is absolutely outstanding, some of the most authentic Asian food in Nottingham. The owners are Malaysian so their Malaysian food is soooo good and pretty hard to find in the UK! Their sushi is also very good, comparable to other more expensive Japanese restaurants. My friends and I have been working our way through the menu, there’s not much we haven’t tried now! As well as authentic Chinese, Malaysian and other Asian food, they also have an entire separate menu of British Chinese food like sweet and sour tofu, beef in black bean sauce etc. They took over from the previous greasy spoon cafe and kept the name, as well as the English cafe style food like omelette, full English breakfast etc. I’ve never tried this stuff, give me the sushi, rendang curry and steamed fish!!! Some of our favourite dishes are the sushi platters, braised aubergine in chilli and garlic sauce, white fish in pickled Chinese greens soup (way tastier than the description!), mapo tofu, beef rendang, oyster furai, spicy beef ramen and seafood laksa! My friend’s eyes literally rolled into his head when he first tried the seafood laksa! Highly recommend to anyone, in a selfish way, I hope it doesn’t “go viral” and become way too busy! Wish I could review more than once because we’ve been so often and will continue to support a small independent business.

Have been in London for months and never once craved Asian food until we chanced upon this eatery while holidaying in Nottingham. For 3 consecutive days,we ate our lunch and dinners there. The flavours and generous portions made each meal reminiscent of home. Compliments to the chef and kudos to the staff, especially the Vietnamese server who made us feel welcomed. A suggestion-have corresponding pictures of each dish on the menu. As the saying goes, 'We eat with our eyes'. Love from Singapore !

I used to go to London for my South East Asian food fix, but since finding out of this cafe from a friend of a friend I just realise I no longer need to head down south but just cycle into town! Beef Rendang is soooo gooood!

Tried the nasi lemak, hainanese chicken rice and rendang beef. Dishes were authentic, esp the rendang beef which was so flavorful and tender. The fried chicken was a bit dried and overcooked yet the sambal sauce elevated the whole dish. Didn't recommend the hainanese chicken as it was not too tender.

Lovely Asian food. I had dumplings, the crispy noodles with beef brisket and nasi goreng. It was all nice but the brisket was a little short on meat. Overall though I would definitely come back again.

That is a nice afternoon. We are just finishing watching movies and finding a place for lunch. A friend recommends us to go here for lunch. Price is reasonable, and cuisines are full of choices. The place is clean, the food is good and the staff is polite. You can have a marvelous time here.

Amazing food, I had the aubergine in black bean sauce and salt and pepper quid. Laid back atmosphere and great service, I came in on a Sunday evening and my food arrived within 5 minutes. Highly recommend if you’re looking for super tasty food that arrives quickly!

Such a luck to find this fusion asian restaurant in Nottingham and not so far from my house. They have various type of asian foods to be offered, and since I am Indonesian so I ended up to order beef rendang and also mee goreng. The place was decent and cozy. We didn’t need to wait for long for the food. You will get a number placed to your table, like typical restaurant in Asia. Highly recommend this place

Fantastic place! Really authentic. Food was delicious, service was great. A bit loud as no decoration on the walls, and noise bounces, and toilets could be cleaner. Will definitely go back and really recommend. THANKS!
