   Incredible oriental menu. I’ve been countless times now and ordered something new each time, all of it is delicious. They have very generous portions at reasonable prices. Service is a quick and easy, the staff are delightful. They also offer a traditional English breakfast menu in case you come with somebody who isn’t too fond of venturing out. All of which is delicious too.

   Nice little cafe serving delicious, authentic Malaysian Chinese food. Good portion and reasonable price. Easy to get up with plenty of street parking directly outside the cafe, or around the corner.

   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.

   Great cafe on sneinton market which gives decent food at a decent price. Always go in for breakfast or the Turkish options they offer at lunchtime. They do a great chicken shish with salad.

   Top place. First visit so didn't realise you need to go to counter to place order, didn't have bubble and squeak after ordering and paying but fella really apologetic. Excellent food, portions generous and priced well. Will be back next time in the area
