I had an udon noodle dish I can't quite remember, maybe teriyaki? I would have liked more noodles in it, bit of a first world problem. Quick service, about average prices. If I had a choice I'd still go for Chili Padi, but in that part of town it's not a bad choice.

It was subsequently incorporated into Burgerland and eventually they did away with it altogether and the space was just extra seating. It was a big deal when it first opened.

I've been lucky any time I've gone, but if there's no spot there you could have them deliver to the pub over the road. Haven't done that myself yet, but it's a service they advertise and it sounds like a solid plan.

It was a mixed experience, in that, the cocktails were fab but the food...not so much - just nothing to write home about. I had a burger with what was supposed to be pepper sauce (which I couldn't taste at all), mushrooms and cheese. It was only ok, quite bland to be honest, and the chips that came with it were not great either - very bitty too and lots of crusty bits of chip rather than proper crispy chips!!! The service was also not great. The girl that served us was very pleasant but the place was VERY quiet and yet it still took ages for food to arrive and when we ordered drinks after, my friend (he ordered another cocktail after dinner) must have been waiting about a half hour at least. Anyway, he asked the girl eventually (once he got her attention, although it was pretty obv that we were waiting for something) she said to him "oh yeah, I gave that to another customer by accident while ago, it's coming now" - eh what?! Anyway, in short, I'd go back, but for drinks only, not for food. It almost seemed as if they were just doing food for the sake of it, because everywhere else does it.
