The flavor is amazing specially for the price you pay. The vegetarian option is great! You can add extras like nuts and egg and it is really delicious. They are very friendly and everything is fresh. I have been bringing my friends here and all of them have liked it. Super recomendable!

Tasty food, some dishes are a tad expensive but the taste is on point. The only downside is they don’t accept all card payments, only Belgian payment gateway or cash.

Really great wok noodles for a great price. Highly recommend, but the place is really small, so if you spend inside to much time you will feel the smell for a long time.

About once a month I have some wok here and it is one of the best in the city. The owner is extremely friendly, food is ready quite fast, menu offers something for everybody and the food is good! You pay less than €10 normally for your dish, often even around €7. You can choose between a normal or a large portion, rice or noodles, chicken/shrimp/porc/vegetarian and with extra sauces if you'd like. They also ask how spicy you want the food. Take-away is best as the restaurant is quite small. The food in the photo tastes better than it looks ;)

Good place for a quick warm meal. The service is good, fast and friendly, the lady spoke both English and Nederlands. Noddles could have more veggies and chicken and swapping radio news to some pleasant music would make a nice atmosphere during the meal. Thank you!
