The menu of an all-Asian takeaway in Santacruz raises our expectations, but the food needs overall improvement

What unfortunately happens all too often is that restaurants over-promise with their menus, but under-deliver when the actual food arrives. It could be that a certain eatery describes a drink with a line like, “A delicate dark rum-based cocktail with fruity notes and an earthy finish.” But when the drink is served, it turns out to be nothing more than Old Monk with pineapple juice. That leaves the diner feeling shortchanged, since it’s the culinary equivalent of reaching for the stars and winding up with a handful of mud instead.
