Zest Asian Street Food - Valletta

I had intended to order pad thai but was encouraged to ordered some Indonesian noodles with chicken instead. The meal was fine but really just tasted like glorified chicken lo mein so I was upset to have not had pad thai. The price is a little steep too because it is part of a new food court. I paid 12€ for this bowl of noodles, and requested the sriracha on the side which was necessary to add some spice to this simple dish. The one benefit of this food court is a great patio in the sun with umbrellas out on the street. Overall okay, not upset with my choice but I would not order it again or return knowing I can get better and cheaper Asian cuisine in Malta.

I had curry 'balinese chicken '. Relatively small portion of curry and low quality rice. Curry 's taste is okay, but not sure where it was balinese tasted more Thai imho.

Google maps say they open till 10pm, I went there at 8pm on a Saturday night and they told me they were closing. I guess they sold all their fresh food for the day! I will hopefully go again and upgrade my star rating then!

One of the best places to eat in Is-Suq tal-Belt. Like Pinoy Street Food, the portion sizes are large and the food is cheap. For under 10 € you can buy an 8-piece sushi roll. They're not just sushi. Since Zest is a pan-Asian place, there is also a lot of variety in their menu. For example, they sell pad thai. Sushi tasted quite decent and the ingredients tasted fresh. They also served the food really fast, in our experience. Would I go back? Absolutely!

The food tasted great and they had fresh ingredients, but the portions are really small (size against price ratio). Poke bowls and steamed rolls have a vegan option, and sushi has a vegetarian option. Definitely try, but be careful that you are not satisfied with a part/plate.
