Coco Tang -Asian Cafe
Proper Asian comfort food in the Lace Market, where the katsu curry actually hits and the bubble tea doesn't disappoint.

You'll find this compact spot tucked down Byard Lane, where the aroma of soy and ginger pulls you in before you've even spotted the entrance. The menu bounces happily between Japanese katsu curries, Vietnamese pho, and Thai stir-fries – the kind of pan-Asian approach that could go horribly wrong but somehow works brilliantly here.
The portions are generous without being overwhelming, and they've nailed that tricky balance of authentic flavours without scaring off the spice-shy. Their bubble tea selection is properly extensive, not just an afterthought, and the staff actually know their matcha from their taro. It's the sort of place that's become a proper local fixture – busy enough to feel buzzy, but never so rammed you can't grab a table.
