Probably the best Chinese takeaway Lisburn has to offer. In addition to their normal menu, they…read moreoffer an excellent buffet selection so you can select a sample of different dishes, depending on what size of box you choose - small, medium or large. The buffet selection usually includes the following: - salted chilli chicken - pan pan chicken - beef in black bean sauce - teryaki chicken - smoked chicken - chicken curry - honey chilli - fried rice / noodles - garlic fries They offer meal deals on the boxes also, for example, 2 small boxes, chip and 2 cans for £10.50 or £12.50 for 2 medium boxes, chip and 2 cans. Very good value for what you get as they always stuff the boxes to the brim! If you don't fancy the buffet, their regular menu is quite extensive with some Japanese and Thai options also.

I visited Sakura, a Japanese restaurant located in Botanic Avenue over the weekend. This was only…read moremy second visit and since starting a vegetarian lifestyle this year I wanted to find out how their food fared for vegetarians. Being a sushi bar the vegetarian options did initially appear a little limited and sadly Sakura do not have a separate, dedicated vegetarian menu which is unfortunate. However, our waiter did advise us that the Chefs could do any dish on the menu as vegetarian, so that was a huge bonus. Nonetheless, clearer 'suitable for vegetarian' labelling on the menu would help. We opted for deep fried avocado and tofu tempura roll starters and mains of stir fried ramen noodles with mixed vegetables. The food as absolutely delicious and fresh tasting, wine (pinot grigio) lovely and service impeccable. I did notice a 'Chinese Kitchen' section towards the back of the main menu which included options of mixed vegetables with black bean, Szechuan, satay and salt and chilli sauces. I'm looking forward to a return visit and to trying out Sakura's lunch and take away menus as the food was scrumptious. Plus the restaurant itself is beautiful with Japanese décor, relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Came by myself on a Wednesday night without a reservation. I had to wait a little bit but was able…read moreto get seated. It is very loud, both from people talking and then with music once that started. This is more of a vibe place than a good food place. Misoshiru has too much miso. The mackerel was a bit disappointing, the vinegar flavoring is light and it has that thawed from frozen texture. The rice is good, much better than I typically see stateside. The tuna was oddly sweet and didn't have firmness. The hamachi was spot on though, not sure why the other two were misses. The signature dish is fried monkfish in something similar to sweet and sour sauce, honestly not that impressed. Cheesecake is not as dense as American cheesecake and not fluffy like a soufflé, I think it was a good middle ground. Not too sweet.

I've been here a few times recently to take way. It has an upstairs sit in but I've not yet been…read more What I find really good about this place is that the food is always tasty, it is usually made to your order, as you wait, and this time for me it was 3 choices: goma ae, 6 maki rolls (tofu) and a temaki hand roll filled with spicy salmon and vegetables (£10.90). The maki and temaki come with kikkoman soy sauce sachets, pickled ginger and a generous splodge of wasabi. The goma ae is always superb tasting with white miso and sesame oil enhancing the taste. The tofu is a small piece served cold but has been pre fried so it looks like and has a texture like pieces of omelette. The salmon in the hand-held roll is chunky and it too is delicious. The fact is that here you can get really tasty food and just along the street you can go to grim take out only Yangtze, for very poor food that sits in Bain Maries for certainly over an hour, yet prices are fairly comparable. This place has a very small ground floor area with a few steps down to go in; you couldn't lie a phone box horizontal inside, length or width wise, so once you pay on order (cash only) the lady serving ushers you out to the street to wait with undue haste. The sort of shove of 'there's a fire' so what's keeping you. She seemed not to realise that having had to go to my bag for cash to suit their convenience I had to take some time to put my cash away again. Rally worth trying as long as you don't mind a gentle nudge on to the street, which I found funny on a summer day. I'd imagine winter I might have a different view.

My daughter also had the cucumber rolls which where delicious. The only downside was by the time me got it home (around 15 minutes away) it was quite cold especially the curry. Oh the the wasabi could be a bit better. All in all not a bad experience but don't know if I'll be back.

The Chef was so incredibly polite and offered to tailor make sushi for our next visit to get rid of the flavour (nori/seaweed) that my friend did not like. I will definitely eat at this restaurant again.

I got the spicy beef and noodles and in a moment of insanity actually tried to eat it with chop sticks, helped by the fact I couldn't see forks/spoons set out already. Somehow after years of failing I was able to use them which added a novel treat to the whole experience. The noodles, beef and veg were all bursting with flavour with the broth they were all nested in really providing a well-balanced and punchy spicy experience. I have to say I really liked it and would be back. We also got a bottle of lemonade which was not like Sprite or Mountain Dew but the sort of cloudy old school type where someone simple squeezed a load of lemons into a bottle! The guy behind the counter was friendly and welcoming despite being quite busy and the prices while a little on the higher side were reflected in the quality of the food and service. Glad I went, and I'll certainly be back.

The place is called 3 Levels as it has a cafe/bar on the ground floor, Chinese restaurant on the second floor and Japanese restaurant on the top level. The Japanese restaurant is set up with 2 separate Teppanyaki grills stations, surrounded by customer seating, so everyone is facing the chef who cooks & performs tricks right in front of you - perfect setting for a team night out/social event. You can choose to order from a set menu which has 4/5 courses, or you can order individual items such as starter and a main. They have a great selection of meat, fish and veg options, including sirloin steak; chicken; duck; salmon and sushi. They also have lobster which we seen cooked on the grill at the next table - looked impressive! I ordered the tempura prawns to start, amazing. Then I opted for the salmon in plum teriyaki sauce with egg fried rice, so good. I got to sample a little of the steak and tiger prawn mains too - all so flavoursome! The staff are all very friendly and attentive, couldn't do enough for you. And the chef provides great entertainment throughout the evening. The only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars was only because there was no background music to provide a perfect, relaxing atmosphere. However, that's me being picky, I wouldn't let this deter me from returning. Can't wait to go back to give this place another go

I was delighted to discover that there was a Sushi Bar in Derry!…read more The surroundings are plain and simple but the food is always freshly prepared and beautifully presented. I have eaten here regularly over the last year. I have never been disappointed. Their early evening "early bird" menu is a particular bargain. If like me you enjoy sushi then I think you will find the selection here authentic. It has all the usual components - aburage, seaweed rolls, pickled ginger and wasabi and a choice of sashimi, smoked fish or vegetable sushi. If your friends are doubtful about raw fish and seaweed - bring them along because there are plenty of delicious Thai and Japanese curry, noodle and broth dishes on the menu. So while you enjoy your sushi your friends can have Pad Thai Noodles or something equally tasty and if they sample a piece or two of your sushi perhaps it will convince them that sushi is not so weird. I have enjoyed the sushi on my own many times and on several occasions I have brought groups of friends. For the sushi-lovers it was a great discovery and even the most sushi-sceptical members of each party have found dishes with which they delighted. This is undoubtedly my current favourite restaurant in Derry.
