Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The salad and noodles were frequently described as bland; the dressing as written may need boosting with extra lime juice or chilli.
- Ease of prep: Most found the dish straightforward, though some noted the steak's thickness made it tricky to cook evenly.
- Suggestions: Several customers recommended doubling the dressing quantity, and adding fresh chilli, mint, or coriander lifted the overall flavour noticeably. Some also suggested lemongrass as a worthwhile addition to the dressing.
- Portions: A number of customers felt the noodles and salad were on the light side and would have preferred a more generous serve.
