"EDIT: Initially was amazed by the restaurant and considered it one of my favourites in London. Have been there 5 times by now and sadly they changed the dishes for the worse. The last visit (early January) was particularly bad, both the laksa and the charred cabbage were swimming in oil. The laksa was literally an oil soup. I feel like the other dishes had additional sugar added to them compared to how they were made initially. I also tried the new fermented green tea leaf salad which was nice though. I really didn't enjoy my last dinner there so I'll lower the rating from 5 to 4 stars. Original review: My new favorite restaurant in London. Already itching to return as the menu has so many amazing choices and I need to try them all. Every dish was so amazingly tasty that choosing one favorite is utterly difficult, but I have to mention the charred cabbage in kolae coconut curry and khao-soi noodle laksa. They make the curry paste in house which gives the dishes a very rich flavor profile. The menu has 3 categories: snacks, starters, and mains. Snacks are mostly bite sized and are served first. The rice fermented mustard green miang laos blew our mind, Kung pao crackers were excellent. We also got an extra snack from the chef Shan-style sour rice which was very tasty. The izakaya pickles were too sweet for my taste and hence my least favourite of the the snacks. If you love South-East Asian flavors, this place is a must. It surely exceeded all my expectations. Everything was very flavorful and nicely spiced. Updated from previous review on 2022-01-08"
