“We ordered the Thai sweet and sour ‘chicken’ and veggie dumplings and had two coffees. The sweet and sour dish was delicious, served with two spring rolls, and the veggie dumplings were well cooked, and ‘green’ tasting meaning they were full of yummy herbs. The coffee was good and strong. Definitely going back for more!” –Natalie Atkins-Prescott
