A surprisingly stylish restaurant in the heart of rural Kent. Looking very new and spotlessly clean…read morewhen we visited, the welcome at 1ThirtySix was warm and the service impeccable. Despite claiming to be a fusion of Japanese, Thai and Chinese cuisine I think it was 80% Japanese, as were the staff. Not being hugely adventurous we had teriyaki chicken and sweet tangy lamb, which were excellent (could have been served hotter, my wife said). The desserts were good too my chocolate volcano was wonderful, just like the choccy pudding my old mum used to make (a tad pricey though at £4.95). A few minor gripes: our plates were whipped away as soon as we put down our knives & forks. They weren't doing it to hurry us despite being Saturday night they weren't that busy; it was just the staff's enthusiasm but it made us a trifle uncomfortable. The menus were largely in dark type on a black background all but impossible to read in the subdued lighting. And the 10% added to the bill for service is a habit that I thought had died out. I prefer to decide for myself how much of a tip I want to leave, and make sure it goes to the right person. As an aside: why don't foreign restaurants get a native English speaker to proof-read their menus? Some of the errors can be hilarious!

Lin's Thai Cafe is a diner style authentic Thai restaurant that serves traditional english…read morefavorites (chippy and bangers). Stumbled here on a Sunday afternoon after finding Tang's (to be reviewed soon) was closed until dinner hours. Quick summary: Food: Thai - 4 out of 5 for authenticity and flavor. English breakfasts and chippy meet the standard and is offered to cater to the less adventurous. Of the 4 dishes we tried, the Pad Thai stood out as the dish of the day, made with the right balance of tamarind and garlic; we ordered two portions to start and an additional third after my family devoured the first two. Springs rolls were crunchy, even with the chili sauce it was served with. Ambiance: Simple diner style. Ask to prop the door open for ventilation. Although I don't mind, coriander, garlic and curry can be sometimes overwhelming. This place does not have a liquor license, but it is BYOB so hop on two doors down and pick up a Hoegarden Heff to tame the spice. Customer Service: A bit of a language barrier, so keep your special orders to yourself. I requested to add beef to a particular menu choice and ended up with a completely separate beef dish. Price is fair - for a family of six we all left very satisfied for a mere 40 quid.

The spring rolls were ok, nothing exceptional, but I was very happy with the stir fry. It was loaded with different flavours, crunchy vegetables (how I like it) and a lovely soy sauce. Every time I pass this restaurant I'm glad to see it's always busy! Definitely not a good place for a romantic evening, has quite a casual atmosphere, but for me this adds to the character of the restaurant. The service is fast and its a nice place to grab a takeaway if you don't fancy eating in. Although they do have a BYOB option with only a £1.50 corkage which makes it really reasonable!

The owner is Bengali, and encouraged us to try some unusual dishes from his home that don't appear on the cookie cutter menus of so many other Indian restaurants. The food was delicious-full of flavor, lacking in the unpleasant overuse of oil, cream and salt so common in other places. While you can sample some out of the ordinary regional dishes, classic favorites are also available and prepared superbly well. The only dish we didn't think met the otherwise high standard was the samosas-pastry was too hard and needs to be more flaky and tender. Small gripe, hopefully can be improved upon by this accomplished chef. Can't wait to come back!

The service was very helpful; our server helped our 2 vegans know what they could and couldn't eat, and everything was wonderful. Fresh and with lots of flavor.

Very well laid out and looks fairly new too. Lots of statues wood carvings etc. Even a few ponds and a mini bridge. The lighting level is low and really sets the scene. The pay one price and eat what you like is better than most in so much there is a large choice and the food is delivered to your table The food taste was great and although the food didn't always come out at the same time it was worth it The waiters try to double up portions and are quite strict what they will or will not do and at times can be quite rude. In fact they are a riot and very rude Drinks are extra. Good selection We ate as a large family group on a Sunday lunch time It was a good Resteraunt as far as the decor and food choice and quality was concerned. The big down side was the staff. Abrupt.
