The staff were so very gracious and got our order in no problem. We started with hot green tea and water - beautiful presentation and it hit the spot! We shared the Imperial Duck and chicken & prawn pad Thai. The duck was crispy and moist, fresh veggies, hot pancakes and flavorful sauce - perfect! They split the pad Thai into 2 bowls for us, very helpful! I loved the infusion of veggies that brought crunch to each bite and the juicy lime! We would definitely eat here again!

I like this place…read more If you have visited Japan & Korea etc and have been missing the atmosphere of a ramen shop, this will suit you perfectly. It does a very good deal on a 'stop the clock' idea, which means you can sit and eat for two hours, from the moment of your first order. The cost is £15.80 which can't be bad. Personally I recommend the Bulgogi, thin sliced BBQ steak. Ushikata! I have hesitated in recommending Teppan Oriental because its very appeal is that all the customers are apparently Korean, Japanese or Chinese and this adds to the atmosphere...

From the owner: We are Bristol's first and only Korean BBQ and Shabu Shabu restaurant…read more The Korean BBQ is comonly known as Yakiniku or Gogi Gui, this refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat. Dishes are often cooked at the diner's table on metal grills that are built into the center of the table where diners can enjoy doing there own grilling/bbq at the dinner table. The Chinese Hot Pot also known as Shabu Shabu in Japan, and in Singapore and Malaysia the Steamboat. Like fondue but replaced with a simmering metal pot of stock at the centre of the table where diners place their ingredients into the pot to cook. The cooked food is usually eaten with a variety of dipping sauces. Typical Hot Pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, vegetables, dumplings and seafood. Here in Teppan we have a vast choice of ingredients, dipping sauces and stock.

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.

When we go out to eat we normally argue over Indian or Chinese food so this was perfect as it has both!! Situated above the new Buddha Bar which used to be Natraj indian Restuarant, in the Beford place area. The decor inside is very modern and upmarket and looks really nice, it has a nice atmosphere and the service is good. On the two occasions we have been be have opted for the buffet which is half indian and half chinese. On both occasions the food has been wondeful. Both sets of food have obviously been cooked by someone who knows what they are doing and there is a good range. Chinese wise i remember there being - Steamed rice, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, beef in black bean sauce, pekinf duck, another main dish, spring rolls, prawn toasts, prawn crackers and a few other bits. Indian - Pilau rice, onion bahji, pakoras, naan bread, korma, tikka, another hotter curry, popadoms and then salad. The only downside to this is the expensive price which was around £17.00. I know it is a mixed buffet but for southampton this is a bit high. However i think this will go down as there were not many people in there. Drinks were also not cheap. Worth a go if you have the cash tho!
