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!

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!

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.

AVOID FOR YOUR BEST INTERESTS !! TERRIBLE DO NOT USE THIS…read moreRESTAURANT. The parking system they operate is awful. We went there to get a takeaway and parked in their own customer car park which allows 30 minutes waiting. They took 40 minutes to cook our food . Since we have been terrorised by a cowboy parking company they employ demanding £170 for exceeding the 30 minute parking time (which was caused by the restaurant themselves taking 40 minutes to make the food) we have complained twice about the parking situation but they clearly don't care as we are now getting threats of high court etc from the parking company. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS AS YOU WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE . There are plenty more Indian and Chinese restaurants in the area and much better as the food here isn't particularly good.

If your a foody thats into your ethnic foods or just looking for something different then Moonstone is the place for you.
