At Goku Asian Canteen, you enjoy Bo Bun, as well as Pad Thai. Proposing Vietnamese, Thai and even Korean specialties, this restaurant has every Asian food lover on the same page. By the way, about starters, don’t miss the Dak Gangjeong chicken, a Korean version of KFC. Deliciously caramelized, it’s very slightly spicy, and chicken pieces are finger-licking good.

As for Pad Thai lovers, they’ll go for the Pad Thai Khoung based on shrimps and served with jumbo shrimp skewers. Super hearty, this dish is based on sautéed rice noodles, soy sprouts and peanuts and served with fresh tamarind, a tropical fruit we also known as Indian dates.

And to accompany all this, taste the super exotic cocktails such as the J.A.D based on sake and pandan or the Tokyosmopolitan, a revisited version of the basic cosmo with yuzu. As for us, we fell in love with the Big Buddha based on vodka, chili pepper, ginger, orange, pineapple, lychee and agave syrup. A surprising creation full of vitamin C!
