I have a silly ginger allergy and they were very accommodating and double checked multiple times with their chefs to ensure what I got did not have ginger. I settled on the shrimp Thai pa and it was delicious with a little heat. We also got gyzo and edamame as a starter. The two other adults with me got various ramens that they also said were very good. The portions are fairly large and you could definitely share between two people. Lastly, price wise it was reasonable.

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.

The fact that there was a bit of a queue enticed me, as I hadn't been in before. It is a pretty simple idea, get a base of rice or noodles and choose your topping (I went for spicy Malaysian chicken). The service was a bit brusque, but what do you expect, it is a take-out noodle bar, but the food was pretty flavoursome and had enough of a kick to sort me right out. As I say, it won't be an everyday thing, but I'd give it a go the next day I want a naughty lunch.

They have an extensive menu with lots of choices, including a healthy options section. So last night (before a vegan talk) I ordered stir fried pak choi with oyster sauce (Yes I know that's not vegan) and some soft noodles. Wow was it good, perfectly cooked and seasoned and more than enough to fill me up. I tried some of the salt chilli tofu as well which was pretty amazing too. The service is great and its a popular spot which I always think speaks volumes. (It was busy on a Tuesday night before payday!) My only downside is the décor which is bright and clean but a little dated. With a few very small touches I'd up this to a 5 star in no time. Oh and did I mention, its Bring your own! Definitely go try it if you haven't.

What a shame they've decided instead to rely on pre cooked food that can sit in Bain Marie's for hours and skin develops on the surface. I passed by at 11am one weekday morning once lockdown began to lift and there already was a full display of cooked dishes - well over a dozen choices. The centre was pretty empty that morning and I'd imagined that some of the food would still be poaching there by 1pm. No thanks. The young staff have always been mostly a surly bunch, no idle chat, no shooting the breeze and a smile is rare - maybe it's cultural. They also have a sign up on charging for the plastic bag for takeaway when the plastic bag tax doesn't apply to hot food (yet but will from April 2021). The prices here have risen steadily in recent years and with the demise of the above dishes I find there's little left that's attractive about it for me. I tried food but the crispy chicken wasn't crispy and all the food was barely warm. If you go here you are buying rubbish. I'm glad there's a Japanese restaurant place right next door too which will be my new go to.

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.

Whilst the restaurant was not that big it still sat all 20 of us comfortably down the back away from other diners (probably for the best as a few of us got a bit loud). The food was lovely and good value for money with their evening special menu. It's not somewhere I would think of to go for dinner but I'm glad I now know what it's like as I will definitely be back. My one criticism of the place is whilst the main servers were lovely, friendly and attentive, the main girl (possibly the manager?) was quite abrasive and cold, and at one point I thought we were in a classroom being shouted at when somebody took the wrong plate and they had mixed up their pre order. She wasn't very happy about it, but it's easily done when you order in advance! She didn't put me off coming back here though!

The menu is quite big and I decided to go for the new potato halves with bacon, onion and melted cheese..and OMG the garlic dip that came with this awesome starter was so good I was nearly going to ask where it came from or how to make it! Then came the sizzling Fajitas which were oh so yummy and they weren't shy with the portions either, also serving those lovely new potatoes with them! I had a glass of house white along with my meal which was only £2 a glass with this menu..seriously, this place rocks! They also have upstairs seating which can cater for larger parties. Love, love, love it!!

This was the best ramen I've ever had. My husband ordered the yellow curry (he can't remember what the dish was called.) I got to try a few bites and it was heavenly. It had such a robust flavor profile and the salsa verde rice added some extra dimension to the flavor. They also had a lovely disco and funk playlist providing a soundtrack to our meal. Overall, we loved this place and hope you're able to enjoy it as well!

There are a few small tables for eating in though the atmosphere isn't much to speak about.

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.
