Monsieur M

I went there a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday party and have been back a few times since. Can't believe this little gem on Old Street is not better known yet!! Their concept of only 3 dishes a day means their food is always super fresh. Love the curries. Great side orders too, try the pepper prawns or fish cakes. And ohh, they also do amazing cocktails for £6.00!! I hear they also do a £3.60 lunch but have not had a chance to try this yet.

I've been there a few days ago and was positively surprised . Staff was friendly , took care of us straight away. We really like the atmosphere of this place and the red color of the walls. We sat down by the huge window and could see what is going on Old Street . We had prawn summer rolls for starter and yummy fish cakes with bit of salad on the side. I had a fish curry as a main course and my partner had a beef stir fried both really tasty . Dishes are served with fresh lettuce on the side . And smoothies .. wow I have to admit, haven't tried something like that before. I could really taste fruit in the smoothie . Staff is extremely helpful,friendly and very fast. If you looking for something fresh, cooked on this same day, that is the place to go to !

Hmmm, I'm not sure I went to the same restaurant as the other reviewers as my experience was disappointing across the board.

Firstly, the restaurant is cheaply fitted out - that's fine if it's meant to *look* that way, but I think Monsieur M was aiming for something a bit more upmarket. The cheesy bar at the front, the tonne of yawnsville Buddhas and the brightly-but-cheaply painted walls (a replaster wouldn't have gone amiss) just make it look very studenty.

Secondly, the front door bangs. An odd thing to be annoyed about but it's a really, really loud bang and it's such a small thing to put right... so I can only think management's a bit lazy?

Thirdly, the food - well, I love the daily changing menu. But not actually what I had - which was the sweet and sour chicken. I've always thought sweet and sour is a bit naff, so was keen to try one that would change my mind - you know, where the flavours were so light and sophisticated and working harmoniously... well, it tasted like it was out of a packet, and if it wasn't it had a really low-rent, processed flavour to it, so it might as well have been! Then I ordered the corn cakes to cheer myself up. They had the adverse affect. Each cake about a tiny amount of corn and a tonne of not so nice batter. Seriously, scrimping on SWEET CORN is cheap. I complained but the amount was still added to my bill.

Lastly, service. It was slow and unprofessional.

All in - I wouldn't go back. It's rubbish and there are a billion other amazing restaurants doing better Asian food in the vicinity.

We went here last night, the food was fantastic, great flavours. The staff were attentive, but not annoyingly so. The lighting was nice as was the music. Would definitely recommend this for a casual meal.

Excellent food from a small but constantly changing menu. Fast, friendly and efficient service. Could do with some choice of dessert. Great value for money. Good choice of music at a volume that allows conversation. Needs some pictures on the walls!
