As always, we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Jarn Leva. The food is always very fresh and tasty, and servings are generous, offering great value for money. The staff are very helpful and courteous, service is usually prompt, and the venue has a pleasant ambience despite its busy corner location. I have no hesitation in recommending it to all my friends and giving it a 10/10 rating.

Great fresh and tasty food, well priced, good service. I just noticed how most of the glass in the restaurant looked like it needed a good clean, particularly the front door. Also the backs of the chairs with finger prints all over them, it really shows up on black. This detracts from the cleanliness of the restaurant. Otherwise lived the food and will be returning.

Delicious food.
Baby Pho is excellent value with amazing flavours. The Crispynet Spring Rolls are awesome both in taste and value.. 3 decent sized rolls with crunchy casing and delicious filling. I couldnt eat all 3 as an entree and successfully reheated one next day in airfryer.
Our mains were also delicious.

Wow, Jarn Leva has become my "go to" restaurant for Asian cuisine in the hills. We were greeted by cheerful and courteous staff. The food was delivered promptly so the wait wasn't long at all. Our dishes were well presented and deceptively big, and the taste profile was flavourful and clean -- very more-ish indeed, as well as being reasonably priced. We will be back!

The staff were welcoming and friendly, but the service was slow. Even though the restaurant was busy, most people seemed to have already been served when we arrived, but we still had to wait for over one hour to receive our food, which was worth the wait, but disappointing to have to wait so long.

Our online booking wasn't known about as wasn't working apparently but staff were very helpful in finding a spot for us.
Most of the food was nice but the crispy chicken definitely wasn't crispy as the skin left on it was rubbery and yuck . Will try something different next time

The restaurant would benefit from table numbers.
We were served one meal but waited approx 40 mins for the second meal which was disappointing. Tables that came after us were served and left before we got our 2nd dish. However it was opening night so I think there's some issues to iron out. Food was good though.
