    I love Cosmos, although admittedly sometimes my eyes are too big for my stomach (this tends to…read morehappen at all buffets I go to, unfortunately). NOTES: ~ This review is based on my experience on a Saturday night, so it was relatively busy. Ambiance: This place is really clean and fancy. It could get pretty crowded so I recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if need be (for large parties). Thankfully, I only had a party of 2 so it was pretty easy to accommodate and needed to wait only about 15 minutes or so. On the inside, with all the glitz and glamour, Cosmo is definitely made for a special night out to treat yourself every now and again. Customer Service: From what I've seen, before you go in while you're still in the queue, they could get a bit short with you and impatient. However once you finally sit down, the staff is attentive and respectful. I guess just grit your teeth through the service until you finally get in? Food: This is why I love Cosmo. It goes for a pan-Asian Fusion experience with cuisine from all around the world - Chinese, Indian, etc. I'm a huge fan because I've been seriously lacking authentic non-Chop Suey Chinese food in Swansea and Cosmo definitely delivers. My recommendations: ~ Potstickers. They're little nuggets of meat wrapped in flour and pan-fried. Delicious and juicy on the inside. The chef here does some of the best potstickers I've had! ~ Duck w/ Pancakes. Get it with Hoisin Sauce (a brown slightly sweet thick sauce), cucumber, and wrap it all up in a pancake. Delicious! ~ They make really really good battered chicken on a stick. ~ The queue for large dishes such as the lobster, salmon, etc takes a VERY long time so it depends whether or not you want to go. It's really well made though and fresh. ~ Get the dim sum. They're in round wooden containers and the custard buns are delicious. I'd definitely come here again.

    Went to Cosmos at lunch time, it was £6.50 for the buffet and I was really impressed. The food…read morewasn't just your typical british-asian food, there were some more interesting authentic dishes, I'm honestly sick of asian restaurants and takeaways serving a version of asian food that couldn't be farther from the real thing. There was a wide selection of Indian and Chinese food to choose from, I assume there is more of a selection in the evening too. The food wasn't 5/5 but it was definitely what I'd expect when I'm paying £6.50. The drinks are quite expensive, however beer is at a relatively normal price which is a positive! Overall I'd come here again, in fact I look forward to it and trying out the other options they have.

    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.

    What is it with stupid restaurant signs that feel the need to have classy hand written logos. I…read moreseriously thought this place was called Spice Riot until I looked it up online. It was probably way I went. Looking for surly spices going around burning people and collecting ASBO's sounded like a good night out if I'm being honest. Much to my dismay it was far more civilised than that and found it to be a Thai restaurant too. I like Thai as I'm newish to it and am still finding myself ordering whatever looks good rather than going for a usual dish I like. Beef with hot thai bean sauce was my weapon of choice and I wasn't disappointed. There was a small Spicy riot in my mouth, but nothing I couldn't handle and found it very tasty indeed. The staff were polite and served as well, nothing out of the blue though. It did take a little longer than I would of liked but that may of been due to the large number of bodies that were taking up my air and my time, so it was understandable.

The interior is modern and very well furnished. Not a typical, authentic setting for this kind of cuisine, it's still pleasant enough and certainly kept clean and in good condition. The staff here are friendly enough, although given the nature of buffet dining, there's pretty much very little they have to do. Staff are keen to offer refills on drinks, but this isn't entirely innocent. With the quite cheap prices on buffet food, the drinks are a little bit more expensive and carry a bit of a premium. The food is pretty average. That's an honest opinion. Really don't think it's anything to write home about, and i'd hardly call it authentic and flavoursome. The poor quality of the food is detrimental to the whole experience quite significantly. After all, you do go out to eat the food, not take in the surroundings.

For starters, we had the Aloo tikka chat (5*), the Bombay chat (5*) and the creamery (4*) plus poppadoms with the trio of dips. For mains our table had: Chicken Nawabi - easily the best dish I have ever tasted. The chicken bhuna in this dish is NEXT level. 5 stars does not do this plate justice! 5* Tiffin sea bass - their signature dish and also delicious! 5* Nadal khozi curry - fragrant, deep flavours. Probably one of the best curries I've ever had but it had tough contenders in the other plates! 4* Raman Akhbari - the lamb leg with mash. Amazing. 5* For dessert we had chocomosa anand and the grilled pineapple dish. Do not think you can share played as the portions are small. The little choc filled pastry delights were melt-in-the-mouth crispy parcels filled with warm melted chocolate, on a bed of caramelised banana. These guys are outstanding. Do not let the exterior and street fool you. This is memorable.

The tables were very clean. We sat indoors hoping to get out of the sun. The waiter was patient and kind. As out of towners, we had a lot of questions about side dishes and add-ons for our ramen. The food at the next table smelled incredible. We enjoyed: - Pork Gyoza - Shirodashi pork belly ramen with an added tea stained egg, kimchi, chili oil - Tantanmen beef brisket ramen - Cherry blossom lemonade - Cloudy lemonade - Still Water We will definitely be back. We enjoy walking around Cardiff and now have a restaurant we can revisit to try other dishes. On a side note: If at all possible, please have fresh garlic. I dont mind paying for it.

They were very attentive and careful when I mentioned a food intolerance which was greatly appreciated. The curry dish I had was tasty, with a subtle heat, but I found the rice strangely undercooked. Isn't that what rice cookers are for, to ensure perfect results? Also, this is a chain that has been around for yonks, so one would think they would have had the most basic Asian food sorted by now. I will certainly go back, as it was tasty and fairly cheap (also I am interested to see if my rice disappointment was a one-off).

    As a Californian Chinese person who grew up on hot pot, the opening of the brand new Hotpot Spot…read morewas like a godsend. We made a booking, walked in, and when the hostess asked me if I had any questions, I proudly puffed out my chest and said "no". Because. I. Freaking. Love. Hot Pot. If you've never had hotpot before and you're looking to experience more aspects of Chinese cuisine, please don't be put off but the idea of needing to cook your own food. It is one of the best dining experiences EVER. HOW IT WORKS: STEP 1: Walk in, and request your broth. I recommend Szechuan spicy which actually isn't that spicy and you can pump up the heat if you so desired. For those in your group who are a bit more afraid of spice, you can get half-and-half where the broth is split between soothing vegetable or spicy. But please do try the spicy, as you can adjust the level between 1-5. STEP 2: Order your fresh ingredients to put into the broth. Get PLENTY of meat, I recommend lamb and beef. Cut ribbon thin so it cooks within seconds and soaks up the heavenly broth. For noodles, the knife-shaved noodles are great. STEP 3: Make a dipping sauce. You can experiment with what you like. I highly recommend trying traditional Chinese BBQ (Sha Cha) sauce. This is the bit that might put off newcomers, though I'm sure any employee there would be happy to design a sauce for you. STEP 4: Put ingredients into the broth step-by-step. You don't need to be a professional chef to do this, just a general idea of how long it takes ingredients to cook. For example, put potatoes in at the start to let it stew. Because the meat is cut so thin, I don't even leave it in there as it will take literally seconds to cook to perfection. STEP 5: Enjoy! --- Hot pot is one of the most wonderful dining experiences ever. Not just for the food, but the community of it where your group is just around a big pot of delicious soup. Oh, and the best part, drink the soup at the end after it's had all of the lovely flavours from your ingredients infused!

The severe…read moredearth of bao-related goodness in my otherwise perfectly satisfying city is something that continues to baffle and upset me in equal measure. Bristol's effort was very good. Not quite Dim Sum Su level. Or Bao in London. But very respectable indeed. Took advantage of the very reasonable deal - 2 bao with fries for £8.50 which was plenty to fill me. The chips seemed a bit of a curveball, as not something I'd normally pair with bao, but it worked ok and they were cooked well. The bao themselves were lush - fried chicken with chilli mayo and daikon, and the amusingly named Chairman Bao with confit pork belly, hoisin and peanut dust. Shame they didn't have the shrimp bao as it sounded delicious but understandably it's their biggest seller, and I arrived late. The buns were soft and pillow-like, and the filling nice, albeit not exactly plentiful. Overall a solid 4*, and well worth a lunch trip, or light-ish dinner. It's BYOB as well, which I didn't realise.

The pork belly was a bit fatty but apart from that, delicious! Plus the staff were very happy and helpful which always helps. Definitely a fan!
