#439 Vegan Thai food near the Cirque Royale, Better than Hungry, Brussels

restaurant review #439 – First time visit to this place in Brussels.
We wanted to go here before a show at the nearby Cirque Royale (see video below, I had fun :-)).

Was waiting at the entrance with several others at 5.30 pm (the opening hourse according to the sign on window). Nobody came. Nobody answered the phone.
Finally a staff member arrived at 5.50 to open the doors. Grrr.
So then it took some time before everyone’s order was noted and drinks came.

I found the menu very confusing. The ‘chapters’ are according to the type of noodles used. And then you can choose your add-on protein (tofu available). No allergene info available on menu.

Had the Mee Zou (wheat noodles) with tofu and the Pad Thai without the egg. Asked about eggs in dishes and was said ‘no eggs’, but it all went very quick, so have no idea whether he had any clue about the noodles.

Both 16€. Fair price. Very large portions.
0.5L water was 5,5€.

All dishes are prepared in same wok frying pans, but we could see they were cleaned out between every dish (open kitchen).

Inaccessible. Large steps at entrance – also to get in restaurant room.
Narrow and dangerours spiral stairs going down to toilet. 1 Toilet, very small (larger persons cannot get in).

All in all: large portions. Very friendly. But I would only go here again if I was really really really hungry, with no other vegan options around (which unfortunately is the case around the Cirque Royale).
