I like this place…read more If you have visited Japan & Korea etc and have been missing the atmosphere of a ramen shop, this will suit you perfectly. It does a very good deal on a 'stop the clock' idea, which means you can sit and eat for two hours, from the moment of your first order. The cost is £15.80 which can't be bad. Personally I recommend the Bulgogi, thin sliced BBQ steak. Ushikata! I have hesitated in recommending Teppan Oriental because its very appeal is that all the customers are apparently Korean, Japanese or Chinese and this adds to the atmosphere...

From the owner: We are Bristol's first and only Korean BBQ and Shabu Shabu restaurant…read more The Korean BBQ is comonly known as Yakiniku or Gogi Gui, this refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat. Dishes are often cooked at the diner's table on metal grills that are built into the center of the table where diners can enjoy doing there own grilling/bbq at the dinner table. The Chinese Hot Pot also known as Shabu Shabu in Japan, and in Singapore and Malaysia the Steamboat. Like fondue but replaced with a simmering metal pot of stock at the centre of the table where diners place their ingredients into the pot to cook. The cooked food is usually eaten with a variety of dipping sauces. Typical Hot Pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, vegetables, dumplings and seafood. Here in Teppan we have a vast choice of ingredients, dipping sauces and stock.

Anyone who knows me knows that if there's an bao shaped opportunity, I'm all over it. The severe…read moredearth of bao-related goodness in my otherwise perfectly satisfying city is something that continues to baffle and upset me in equal measure. Bristol's effort was very good. Not quite Dim Sum Su level. Or Bao in London. But very respectable indeed. Took advantage of the very reasonable deal - 2 bao with fries for £8.50 which was plenty to fill me. The chips seemed a bit of a curveball, as not something I'd normally pair with bao, but it worked ok and they were cooked well. The bao themselves were lush - fried chicken with chilli mayo and daikon, and the amusingly named Chairman Bao with confit pork belly, hoisin and peanut dust. Shame they didn't have the shrimp bao as it sounded delicious but understandably it's their biggest seller, and I arrived late. The buns were soft and pillow-like, and the filling nice, albeit not exactly plentiful. Overall a solid 4*, and well worth a lunch trip, or light-ish dinner. It's BYOB as well, which I didn't realise.

The best thing about two of you eating is you get to try a selection, 2 bao would be enough each with a side for a meal. These fluffy buns made me very happy and were pretty reasonable. The pork belly was a bit fatty but apart from that, delicious! Plus the staff were very happy and helpful which always helps. Definitely a fan!

They have a set price meal - one at lunch and one at dinner - where you go and sit on great long tables that run through the restaurant and then go up and help yourself to the buffet style huge selection of food. There is a starters section and then a mains section, and the bar at the front but the waiters will serve you drinks. The food is ok, notihng to write home about really. It is the usual chinese selection, and the choice is massive so there is always sometihng for everyone, but if its a good meal you after this isnt the placer to come. This is a great venue for large groups and the main selling point of this place is the kareoke bar at the front - the place to go after you have eaten. The one time I have been it was hilarious but I wont be going again. I would recommend it for a one off though!

Despite this, recently I was dragged along with a bunch of friends for a meal here, and clearing away my preformed judgements about the place, I was actually fairly pleasantly surprised. Their obvious selling feature is the quirkiness of having many different cuisines under one roof - and it's kind of pleasant to not be confined to one style for once. However, being a jack of all trades also means they're not amazing at any of them - but the cheap prices perhaps make up for that. Although I was entertained by the experience I wasn't won over, and the poor service didn't help.

I've always thought that this place doesn't look too appealing from the outside. A meal here,…read morethough, won't disapoint. Hearty is the word that sums up this place. A hearty menu, hearty portions, and hearty bar staff (doesn't the word hearty sound a bit odd now?). In other words this place isn't overly up market and they aren't afraid to be friendly and offer decently sized portions. They don't let themselves be constricted to one continent, let alone one country here, with Mexican, Inidan, and Chinese amongst the extensive range of cuisines available. This obviously means it isn't quite as authentic as going somewhere spealist, but they're never too wide of the mark. If you are looking for the real deal then perhaps head somewhere else. Flavourz (I think they let themselves down with the name a bit) offers a taste education in a friendly setting, and with big portions.

We ended up having to use the spoons for our tea found in our hotel room. Not a fun way to eat noodles. The food was actually very yummy. Though I must give full disclosure that I was starving from a 9 hour flight in which I did not eat anything. I ordered the rice noodles with shrimp and my partner another noodle type with coconut curry and bamboo shoots. The noodles and sauce are base price, while anything else added costs a couple pounds more. The portions are generous, I wasn't able to finish mine despite being starving at the beginning! It seems to be a chain restaurant in England, so if I'm ever back I will stop by again!

The yaki soba £8 was so dry and sauce less we barely finished it. Worst dish here. The service was attentive, but it was empty.
