I had a really delicious meal here last week with my mum. Because it was just the two of us we had lots of leftovers, the mains are very generous! We also had entrees, delicious rice paper rolls with beautiful fresh mint inside, which went beautifully with the hoisin sauce, and some great crispy noodle fritters.

The restaurant was full but we were seated without a reservation within about 5 minutes on a Friday night and the staff were helpful, prompt and friendly throughout the evening. The atmosphere was a little bit noisy but in a general, happy, hummy sort of way, without awful noisy outbursts, so I (with a not so good ear) still had no trouble hearing what my mum was saying. Considering the number of people in there, I think the acoustics must be pretty good.

I will definitely eat at My's again and I might even pop in for some take-away rice paper rolls for lunch one day! Yum!

Although service of the actual food was a bit slow, they were very busy for a Wednesday night so that could explain it. The service was extremely friendly and polite and the food was delicious. My father took me and he has many years of experience of eating the real deal in Nepal. He gave it his solid stamp of approval so that must mean something! He was a bit miffed at the lack of Newar (Kathmandu urban) food and the inclusion of some non-Nepali dishes, but that didn't bother me in the slightest.

The room was fairly noisy with low ceilings and a hard ceiling and floor but it had a nice atmosphere otherwise and was nice and warm on a chilly night, being tucked away downstairs. I'll be going back!

I really enjoyed the food here - really delicious - but I have a feeling some of the flavour might have come from liberal use of MSG, as I felt a bit weird later on (buzzy, almost like I was having palpitations - a typical reaction for me!). For me, the yummy food was worth the weird feeling though. Great fish cakes!

The service was very friendly and efficient, but where I felt let down was that there was a large party booking right next to us, taking up a whole section of the restaurant and the staff almost seemed to encourage them to be noisy! It got quite out of control and I think the staff needed to make a stand and say enough is enough. There were frequent wolf whistles loud enough to give me quite a headache.

By the time we were ready to order tea and coffee all three of us had had quite enough of the noise so we left early. I ended up going back and having a chat with my babysitter for an hour (she was pre-paid...) with my ears ringing all the while.

Such a shame as on a quiet night I think this place would be lovely. I will be careful to ask about party bookings next time I reserve a table.
