Me & a friend visited Hei Hei's adjacent restaurant Hot Duck above the takeaway offering after reading positive reviews online. The server suggested we ordered 2/3 dishes each. I ordered the Thai Green Curry with steamed rice and some prawn toast. My friend had the salt & pepper Calamari, veg spring rolls and egg fried rice with some salt & pepper chips to share. The restaurant operates on a 'Chinese Tapas' style basis so everything comes as it's ready which we had no problem with. My curry was one of the first things to arrive and, after prompting the server to check on our rice after everything else had arrived, by the time I received the rice my curry was mostly cold. The curry itself was extremely spicy and only had 3 pieces of chicken in which was disappointing. Most of the food appeared to be 'padded out' by onions and peppers and portions were not generous at all considering we paid £72 overall! Despite this, the service we received was absolutely faultless and the staff went out of their way for us throughout our meal. Another thing is that the tables were too small for a tapas style meal and the server pulled a spare table next to us to give us adequate room for our dishes - I understand as its a small place that space needs to be maximised but it doesn't work for this style of meal. Overall the food is extremely overpriced and just the same food served from the takeaway offering just with the prices ramped up and served from bowls rather than takeout boxes! Would like to reiterate that the service from staff was great we just had an issue with both the quality & quantity of the food.

Just had to throw away most of our £40 order as the food was largely inedible. I don't know if someone swapped out the salt for sugar but everything tasted too sweet, especially the chicken and sweetcorn soup and the vermicelli. A real shame as the menu was put through the door and definitely piqued our interest, but there is no point in having a good set of dishes if they taste like this. We will not make the mistake of ordering again.
