Cons: long wait during lunch, and slightly overpriced. The waiter will tell you everything can be shared but, not sure if that's true. Pros: Delicious taste, good location, and nice venue.

Fantastic food, but the service was even better. Antoinette knows her stuff and is the most passionate server I've ever had! But it also helps that all the dishes she recommended were as good as she claimed them to be! Thanks SO Much for an amazing experience,

Great concept, a tip, encourage patrons to stay for a drink and the music like in New York restaurants. Your business was done by 10pm, you could have had 2 hours of drink income. Above all great place, will go back congratulations, Lawrence.

Excellent food, full of flavour, but poor service. The waitress firstly placed half of our party at the wrong table, then our order was lost somehow - we waited over an hour for the second course because they apparently gave our food to the wrong table too. Thereafter, when we finally received our food, we were missing 1 dish that we had ordered, by then we did not want it so we cancelled it. The manager was very apologetic and kindly gave us 2 x complimentary desserts which was very kind of him. We would like to try this restaurant again because the food was delicious and perhaps they were just having an off day when it came to service. A shame to miss the mark on service for such a lovely restaurant in such a great location.

Nice atmosphere with courteous, polite and efficient service. Felt we were rather misled, however, with the entree when, as they arrived in portions of 3 and 5 respectively, our waiter muttered something about "1 more of each" .He returned a little later with 1 more of each with us thinking this must be the normal portions. Instead we wore the cost of these 'extras' on our bill. It simply wasn't made clear we would be paying for these at the time. We would have refused,had we known, as we had already divided the serves equally between us. The food was tasty with the dumplings and tofu panacotta standing out as something different. Truly though, have had similar or better taste experiences at much cheaper Vietnamese resturuants. Good food, but not great value.

The atmosphere and food was amazing but the service needs a bit more work. Our glasses were empty and we had bought a bottle of wine and had to ask for them to be refilled. Just a few teething problems. Will definitely go back just for the food though!!!

The food was a bit slow to come out but what we had was excellent. I will definitely come back and would highly recommend this Forty Licks. I like and eat spicy food, everything we had was really mild and my companions who would never eat curry in their life really liked the food.
