Quick, authentic and delicious! I often find that the places with no frills serve the best food and…read morethis is no exception. It's very reasonably priced too. They do a deal at lunchtime where they cook up a few dishes and you can have whichever of them for £2 and add rice or noodles for £2. I had a chicken masaman curry and rice the other day for £4! You can barely get a McDonalds for £4! What's on offer varies for the lunch deal but they do tend to stick to popular dishes. They do proper yummy thai prawn crackers too (the orange ones that are slightly spicy) with sweet chilli sauce and play Thai music and the staff are lovely. If it was 30 degrees outside you'd feel like you were in Thailand! Decor is basic, long benches for seating and toilets aren't the best! They've got some pictures of the food on the wall, along with the specials boards and menu. I love it when there's pics of the food because I like to try new things and this helps with what to expect. There's also lots of interesting traditional Thai decor; old photos in frames and some offerings for buddha and pictures of the king. Don't go here for a night out kind of meal because it's quite quick to arrive and there is only a small bar, but definitely go if you want a fresh and delicious, cheap meal. It's the best in town for thai in my opinion.

Super casual and super tasty, just how Thai food should be…read more Thai Pan has been renamed 'Street Food'. I think this was to reflect their new day/lunch menu that, during the summer, they sell through their open windows. I've eaten here so many times that I now have 2 dishes that I rarely stray from. The Gosereng Malaysian Noodles and Chicken in Chilli Oil with Pineapple Rice. Both are absolutely delicious! The noodles are spicy with lots of veg and flavour. The chicken in chilli oil is saucier than you would imagine, it's not just flooded in oil. The pineapple rice is so good, not overly sweet and with a nice flavour of its own. Think wagamamas style noodles benches, chilli pots on the table and an all Thai cast.

Both the food and layout of this Bristolian fave are extremely simple. The interior, with long rows…read moreof wooden benches, evokes memories of school dinners, though the food is slightly more tempting than spam fritters and lumpy mash! The giants bowls of prawn crackers are good to munch on while you try and get your head around the menu, which works like this. It's split into five sub-menus (Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and Specialist) with all main courses costing just £7.50. It's probably best to share three mains between two, and I would thoroughly recommend the Thai green curry and the kebab (which is certainly unlike any doner I've ever tasted!), though the plum sauce on the crispy duck is a little overpowering. Everything about this place screams simplicity, but at around £15 a head it certainly offers value (not to mention authenticity) for money.

I ordered my dr pepper and then decided i wanted everything off the menu. That was not possible so I settled on the crispy duck with pancakes. They really cater for vegan/vegetarians there, so with most dishes the meat part can be substituted with tofu. My boyfriend ordered the Kajang Chicken Satay, but with tofu, and it was unlike any satay dish I'd ever tried. It was just so fresh and delicious. My crispy duck was also equally amazing! All the main dishes are £7.50 and we ordered some extra noodles to share and we got a huge portion of the most tasty fried noodles with beansprouts for £2.50. The staff were extremely helpful and smiley and it's nice and spacious in there. You can also see into the kitchen which I always think is a good thing! I can't wait to return and start making my way through their Japanese dishes and also take home some goodies from the supermarket.

HK Diner, which translates to Hong Kong Diner, is a pretty good restaurant. However, I would say…read morethat they were mainly a Malaysian restaurant (the owners are from Malaysia, and there are so many Malaysian dishes on the menu), and they should really capitalise on that fact and not just blend in the chinese food scene where they are mostly from Hong Kong. I suppose it is what people are used to, and maybe they thought by saying they were a dedicated Malaysian restaurant, they wouldn't get the people in who were looking for chinese food. Who knows. They have lots of lovely food here, that you wouldn't find in a typical chinese restaurant (because it is Malaysian food), like Nasi Lemak, Curry Mee and desserts like Bubur Cha Cha and Red Bean soup. If you aren't already familiar with Malaysian cuisine, those names won't mean much to you, but if you are, you will know they are fantastically tasty - and this place makes it well. They also serve bubble tea here (a hot or cold tea with tapioca pearls), which is the only place in Bristol that I know of that does it. I would highly recommend this place for those of you that haven't tried it out yet and are bored of typical chinese restaurant food. A real treat, two thumbs up.

When you're looking for a taste of the orient on Park Street there's only two places you should…read morethink of going; Beijing Bistro or HK Diner. For me, HK Diner has the edge. Not only are their portions more generous, but their food tastes more authentic too. As well as the vegetable dishes (which are mouth-wateringly chunky covered in soy sauce), the noodles are the best thing on the menu. It's not the best place to take a date, but is the ideal meeting point for friends and family. The service is warm and welcoming, and a night in HK Diner is not a wasted one.

Despite the delicious cuisine Thailand and other South East Asian countries have to offer, they seem to be somewhat underrepresented on Bristol's restaurant scene. I have no doubt that Thai Classic passes under the radar of many,i which is a mistake indeed. The restaurant has a tranquil atmosphere unusual for the road on which it is situated, I can't exactly imagine it being overrun by stag and hen dos at the weekend. All the staff are Thai and it is clearly authentic down to the very last detail. The food is perhaps not the greatest I've ever tried, but the recipes were tasty and well-executed. Thai Classic certainly isn't new or modern, if anything it reminds me of restaurants how they used to be when I was a little kid being shepherded round oriental eateries by my parents. What it is, however, is good quality, tasty food at very respectable prices with excellent service.

Anyhow, I also found the service to be extremely smooth and friendly, making for an overall enjoyable eating experience.

The ground you walk on is no longer slippery with grease, and a new generation of smart establishments have sprung up alongside well-established take-aways such as Dorothy's. One of these is Bali, an Asian restaurant just opposite the entrance to Brewery Quarter. The service is okay, and the décor is inoffensive if a bit plain - but on the food front it scores well! Indonesian food isn't easy to come by in Cardiff, and this place serves up some fairly authentic Indonesian dishes alongside some from Singapore and Malaysia. We tried the classic Nasi Goreng, and also Kari Ayam, a Malaysian curry - both of which were delicious.

I got a bit of a taste for Nasi Goreng and this type of cuisine when i was in Singapore and Borneo last year and haven't seen it anywhere else apart from here. They have quite an extensive menu with lots of dishes that make a refreshing change from chinese or indian dishes. And they even do banana fritters. Loses marks because of the slightly tacky decor and pretty average service. But its such a nice change and do some bargain lunch menu's and early dinner offers too.
