I have never been disappointed by the taste and quality of the food from this shop. I recently went in to buy a load of energy bars, when I enquired about the price of a whole box of energy bars, I was offered a ten percent discount and told I could make my own box up with any of the flavours on offer. This contrasts nicely with the last visit I made to a completely different healthfood shop who told me I couldn't get a discount, I could have only one flavour and it would take a week for them to be ordered in. If they had a 10percent student discount then I would give them 5 stars.

A great health food shop that also has a cafe. The staff are really friendly and helpful and if…read moreyou're on any sort of special diet (vegan, gluten-free etc.) then this is the best place to get all your essentials plus some goodies too! Because it's not on the main high street it can be hard to find but there's usually a signpost to help you out.

I love this place. So much. It's in an area of Canterbury which isn't very nice - right next to a…read moredodgy-looking Odeon and an even dodgier night club, right on the ring-road. But once inside, you don't need to look out of the windows. There are bamboo screens and an indoor water feature and it all feels Japanesey enough without intimidating a newbie. The maitre d' lady is great fun, very smiley and keen to assist in any way. We always have a lovely chat - even if we don't quite understand each other! (The staff are all Asian but I couldn't put money on them all being Japanese) There is a conveyor belt with all the beautiful and freshly made sushi on coded plates, with a menu decoder alongside. The offer is 5 plates for £10 or 10 plates for £17.50 with a limit of one yellow (most expensive) plate. Or you can just pay for each plate individually. The main menu is also very wide-ranging with a lot of traditional Japanese fodder: ramen, miso, tempura etc. as well as Thai offerings (the restaurant is owned by a company which has a Thai restaurant in Canterbury and one in Thanet somewhere). The tom yum soup is gorgeously spicy with juicy fat prawns and just the right amount of lemongrass infusing the coconutty base. The specials are most definitely worth a look. I managed to have the bento-type platter with beautifully roasted duck, plum sauce, lovely light sticky rice...twice in as many weeks. Oh man it was good. Yoshi is more personal than Yo!Sushi, with the friendly staff and quick service that I feel really makes the experience. We once ordered something that was no longer on the menu and they happily obliged and made it up quick as a flash. Wonderful people! The menu is wide-ranging enough that non-sushi-lovers and Japanese virgins (woah, that sounds weird but you know what I mean) can enjoy it equally and just talking about it now is making my mouth water and I'm booking my train ticket back to Canterbury. Right. Now.

Quick-serve diner, w above-average food…read more Small family run cafe, with a limited menu of basic items done right. If you want fancy or exotic food, keep walking. If you want basic quality at a fair price, stop here. The fish & chips were top-of-the curve; dry and crispy, not greasy. The chicken & chips had roasted chicken with flavor-packed gravy reminiscent of a chicken pot-pie (in a really good way)! Dessert was apple-pie, baked like a strudel. Interesting and odd, but good. Soft drinks, tea, coffee, cider, ale & beer. Nothing crazy. Eat here when you are hungry for real food.

Our tour guide had called in our lunch orders before our arrival. We had a choice of four entrees...fish and chips, roasted chicken and chips, meat pie or a jacketed potato. Dessert included. I had the meat pie. Delicious. My other half and a friend of ours both had the fish and chips, which they both enjoyed. Apple pie with a dash of whipped cream and coffee rounded it out. We each had a beer or wine and the total bill of 51.10 pounds seemed reasonable.

Fantastic! A skip…read moreaway from Canterbury West rail station is a wonderful indoor market offering nooks of various goods. On various days and hours there are bustling people shopping for fruits, veg, meats, and other goods.

Need a loo, that is here too! Overall a delightful experience with several visits during my stay in town
