One of my favourite places for Asian food! They offer a wide variety of cuisines, including Malaysian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, and many more. I always order the Pad Thai here, and it tastes so authentic—just like the ones I had in Thailand. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are satisfying, and the restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Definitely recommended if you’re craving good Asian food!

I'm often in Galway for business, and frequently come here. I have spent a lot of time in Malaysia, and the food is excellent, with a pretty authentic taste, which is surprising for Europe. However, I have detected the same pastes being used on Char Kway Teow, and Nasi Goreng, whis should taste different. Not exactly cheap, but worth it for me. Dishes with the chilli symbol are quite spicy, which is correct.
Nice pan Asian restaurant near the university. We were a party of 2 and ordered spring rolls, chicken yakisoba, and prawn pad Thai. Very good taste wise, not too spicy. Portions were somewhat small and we were still hungry so we ordered mochi ice cream. This was also good but strangely took almost 10 minutes to come out, and we were basically the only customers in the restaurant. Great option for Chinese/Asian food in Galway.
