We were four in total, out exploring Colchester having arrived late afternoon without having had lunch; so naturally we wanted to eat early and there were lights on inside. Nothing ventured, we asked if they were open and we were promptly ushered inside with a smile. Boy, this place is big! It must get very busy of a weekend evening, but at this time of day we were the only people there, so naturally our server was extremely attentive and helpful; although he was quite insistent about trying to 'upsell' us on some things, like pushing for bottled water when all we wanted was a jug of tap water. But I guess that's par for the course. The menu is pretty extensive, with plenty of veggie and vegan options - although I felt that our server should have pointed out that they have separate menus for those. I went for a veggie Nasi Goreng with a side dish of sweet and sour aubergines (my least favourite vegetable - what was I thinking?). Portion size was very good and the food was great. I even liked the sweet and sour aubergine side plate! You will either love or hate the decor, with its full-size artificial cherry blossom trees and illuminated fluffy clouds. Bizarrely, it all seemed to work well together, although I was less convinced about the music, which seemed mostly to be some kind of pop/techno fusion thing. Overall, it came to around £30 each between the four of us, which wasn't too bad given that our bottle of wine was only slightly less than that. If you want a classy evening meal, you could do a lot worse.

This is the worst hotpot I've ever been to, all the utensils and bowls are greasy and filthy with…read morestains, tables and floors are greasy. And if I could give -5 stars for their services, I totally would. You are basically on your own without any service for a very long time, even after waving for multiple times. And they came with missing orders that you have to keep chasing, almost like DIY to do it yourself if you can walk into the kitchen. Nonetheless, me and my friend's stomachs weren't doing good at all after eating there and it lasted for a few days. Not to the point that we needed to see a doctor but you got what I mean. I am not sure what it was but no way in hell I would go back again! They provide free cheap drinks if you write them an amazing reviews on google and such. That's where you see good reviews about them.

The non-spicy broth is so flavorful that ingredients soaked in it barely need dipping sauce to taste good. The space is clean and bright, and service is friendly.

We were delighted to try this new establishment on opening weekend. Enjoyed a filling lunch with…read moredazzling cocktails. Such an amazing experience! Attention to detail in every dish was apparent. The whole menu was tempting but we settled on the following 5 sharing dishes: - Yellowtail sashimi salad with spicy sauce (my companion's favourite), super fresh and flavourful - Beef tataki salad with such bright colours in the pomegranates, lettuce, coriander, garlic chips and ponzu soaked onions - Fried Jerusalem artichokes, new for me and such a tasty pairing with the aioli - Miso-grilled black cod tacos were a great texture with crunchy taco shells and tender fish, lightly balanced - My absolute favourite, the fried chicken that had the most flavourful, tender (fall off the bone) meat with Chinese five spice and a deliciously spiced peanut sauce with pickles Scott and staff were a pleasure to speak with and enjoy a fun shot. The Freak Scene cocktail is their take on a mojito, fruity and fresh. Sipping on it reminded me of summer. We can't wait to return for the seasonal delights. There will soon be a queue down the block, so get here now!

Freak Scene is a pan-Asian fusion restaurant in Soho serving up tapas-style, often-fried riffs on…read moreChinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisine. We came for our first dinner in London, and booking was easy to get less than a week out. Though it was sparsely populated when we showed up around 8, it was getting busy when we left an hour later; this is definitely a party spot, though it's too small to truly be a clubstaurant. Freak Scene's head chef worked at Nobu for years, as evidenced by both the buzzy, theme-y atmosphere and the theatrical Westernized menu. Expect dishes like sashimi pizza and wonton bombs, washed down with tropical shooters. Dishes run in the low teens and are best split between two. Drinks are wide-ranging, from sake to wine to cocktails, and reasonably priced if not particularly intellectual. I had a citrusy rum drink, while my boyfriend took on the indignity of ordering a Slippery Nipple, some layered shot concoction, alongside an Asahi. Miso-grilled black cod tacos (11 pounds) tasted more Tex-Mex than Tokyo, with an admirable but overpowering salsa and a salty shell that made the well-prepared sushi rice redundant. They're pretty, but logistically difficult to eat. Jerusalem artichoke was not quite what we expected, fried into a thin stick like an elongated egg roll. However, it ended up being one of our favorite dishes and very flavorful with the aioli, though the portion is just silly for the price. Beef tataki salad (12 pounds) was standard, nothing special but a good way to round out the meal. By far, the winner was the lamb, two juicy and substantial chops with a simple sweet-and-spicy sauce. Service was spotty, though food did come out pretty quickly once we managed to place our orders. We spent about an hour here. The space has cool old propaganda posters, but feels a little too slickly designed. Prices were middle of the road for this part of town-- the final bill was about 70 pounds for 2, with a drink each. If you're looking for somewhere fun in Soho for a drink and a bite, this will do the trick, but for savvy customers used to Momofuku and other elevated fusion spots this may come off as juvenile.

The setting is really cool theres 3 big solid wooden tables that you can crowd around in a group or just go as a couple and enjoy the closeness. The huge wibdows allow you to watch the passing world whilst relaxing in such warm surroundings. Its not at all like a noodle bar its much more special than that and more personal you can have a romantic time here its much more grown up that simple noodles. The restaurant has a fully stocked bar so drinks are fast flowing, the main menu is great there's lots of choice and the waitresses are very willing to help adapt dishes for individual requirements. I really enjoyed my time here as it just felt so comfortable and with the pub downstirs it doesnt get too busy as you have to know its here to find it. The prices are good too considering its knighsbridge.

Excellent Malay Chinese Thai Indian fusion. A bit slow but gives you time to chat and catch up…read more The food came.out fresh and thoroughly enjoyed the platter both veg and non veg. I loved the Thai Curry noodle dish. I think it is called Kham sol. I gave it an 8/10 as it tasted like something I would have in Bangkok or Malaysia. It was well made. My friend ordered the Korean Don Buri special. It could not finish it as we had loaded up with apptizers. He gave it a 7/10. Another had the Green curry and loved the taste. It had an jndian slang to how It tasted. He gave it a 7/10. Oberall we enjoyed it here and were wwll served beyond closing time. Price is in the $$ range and worth it. Will be back if I ever come by.
