Excerpt from the review (translated):
"This is the best spring rolls "Fork" has ever tasted, rich in flavour, crispy outside and they feels exclusive in their pureness".

pronounced taste of sea salt from the fish sauce, and the small dried shrimps, along
with the tender king prawns, made “Fork” to have a mental journey far away ...”

fussy waiter."
