    Very good taste Chinese resturant I recommend the fried noodle with soybean,felt as I was back at home

    This restaurant is a new addition to my neighbourhood, the original branch in Stockbridge is a bit of an institution, so I thought I should check it out. It occupies the ground floor of a lovely new town building and the decorators have made it look clean and modern - there are no twee Chinoiserie fripperies here. I was greeted as soon as I entered by a lovely, friendly young waiter (although I sound like one, I am not actually an OAP...) who gave me a take-away menu to look at and left me in peace whilst I made my choices. The food was ready pretty quickly and handed over with a smile and some free prawn crackers (nice one). My starter of Salty and Spicy Squid was brilliant; the batter was crispy and light, the squid wasn't chewy or rubbery, and the balance of saltiness and spiciness was just right. For a main course I chose Kung Po Beef, it was a pretty average dish and not nearly as good as the squid (damn, that squid was tasty), I thought it would've been better if cooked with slightly less oil. Although it's not a particularly cheap Chinese, it's not massively more expensive than your average take-away. I felt that £15 was a reasonable price for a starter, main, rice and prawn crackers and I'm sure I'll be back again soon.

    I have something to confess - I definitely search for "most Instagrammable restaurants" when I…read moretravel - because I love a good theme, or an ambiance that is out of this world. And let me tell you right now - Tattu lived up to the hype I read online and THEN SOME! We booked a later reservation because we were coming back from a tour that day, and we were promptly seated right when we arrived. The vibe was exactly as described - it was upscale, and very ethereal feeling. Trees uplit with purple and pink lights, black marble tables, more floral/light touches, and a dragon mural on the ceiling and also in a projected design on the far wall of the dining area. And luckily, the food was just as good as the ambiance. My friend and I both did the Evening Set Menu, that included a starter for each person and a main dish per person. They also had desserts and sides that you could add for an extra charge (we did a dessert each, and they were also amazing, but more on that later - hold your horses!). I had the Crispy Pork Belly for my starter and it was divine - nice and crispy outside with a soft middle and a delicious dipping sauce. My friend did the Duck Spring Rolls and they were so tasty as well (we split a few of each others' starter). The cherry hoisin sauce that came with the spring rolls was fantastic and a little sweet and sour at the same time. These starters were not so heavy that we didn't have room for our main courses, which I appreciated. For the entree, I had the White Miso Salmon, and the filet was so tender with a miso sauce that was to die for. The Jasmine rice that accompanied them mixed super well with everything too. My friend had the Chinese BBQ Chicken, and it was a large filet that was super flavorful (the bites I had), because it was absolutely coated in the BBQ sauce, and a very juicy filet, too. I would recommend either of the mains or starters that we picked for the evening set menu, based on our experience. As I mentioned, the dessert is not included in the set evening menu, but you can add it at the end - and my friend and I both did! She had the Asian Pear Sticky Toffee pudding, and it was so delectable - a toffee brownie type square with a large mound of buttery ice cream on top, and caramel and cinnamon to top it off. I had the Chocolate Hazelnut Pagoda, and it was a stunner! Literally a chocolate cake "dirt" on top of vanilla whipped pudding, with cherry ice cream on top and a hazelnut chocolate pagoda tree with cotton candy for the leaves. While that sounds awesome in itself, it also came with a cloud of dried ice "smoke" billowing out of it. So cool, and it definitely tuned a few heads when it arrived. So from the super cool and upscale ambiance, excellent service, and out of this world food - I definitely recommend Tattu for a special occasion, date night, or to take anyone you want to really impress!

    Super delicious. Came here the first night of our vacation and it did not disappoint. You MUST get…read morethe gyoza, some of the best I've ever had. Tasty drinks and such a beautiful and cool ambience.
