OTT In The City is an Asian restaurant at 217 Heretaunga St E in Hastings. It has a 4.7 rating on Google and a website.
A good Asian restaurant is built on fresh ingredients, well-judged seasoning and food cooked to order, with flavours that are balanced rather than simply hot or salty. Menus often suit sharing, so going with a group lets you try a range of dishes alongside rice or noodles. Tell staff how spicy you like your food, and mention allergies when you order, since soy, peanuts, shellfish and gluten appear in many sauces. Regulars know that booking ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings saves a long wait, that asking about the day's specials is a good way to find something new and that dishes are best eaten soon after they come out of the wok. The restaurant's website is a good place to check the menu and opening hours before you go.
For anyone in central Hastings, OTT In The City on Heretaunga Street East is a local option for an Asian meal.
