My wife and I ate there on Sept 3rd.
Nice surprise!
The food was very good and the service was friendly. Waiting time very acceptable.
We had spring rolls for starters followed by fried rice and chicken- basil.
The taste was very close to thai food in Thailand.
Nicely presented. Big enough portions.
It was sad to see the restaurant, apart from us, empty.
One remark, for a Thai restaurant, the Chinese music and Deco was a little misplaced.
We will certainly go back.

The experience in this restaurant was bad. To be fully honest the quality of the food was not that bad compared to other all you can eat restaurant (lot of rice in the plate, but still acceptable) , but the service is incredibly slow. We were here with other collegue and it took like 20 min to have the first plate, which was small because of the quantity limitation per order. Then we were told that it was necessary to finish the plate to make a new order (can be comprehensible when there is no limit on the first order, or the service is quick but here...), and then we waited 20 other minutes for the 2nd services, and it was 13h40 (we arrived at 12h15 and the restaurant was quite empty). So in conclusion, we ate less in a all you can eat restaurant in 1h and half, than in a classic restaurant in 30min... I don't recommand it

Train à Sushi ce soir, accueil médiocre, l’ambiance était délétère entre les personnes de la même famille qui y travaillent, presque désolé d’être là, place imposé, ici - pas ailleurs, nous dit la serveuse.. qui nous donne envie de fuir de suite.
Donc installer en bout de ligne - choix médiocre forcément, lorsque l’on demande quelque chose on se fait répondre avec une impolitesse royale et le tout pour 23,8 - pour 15 sushi de qualité moyenne dont 10 par non choix et 50 qui tournent pendant 1h30 que personne ne veut et 3 sashimi en bataille après avoir demandé trois fois... Au moment du paiement, nous disons que nous sommes déçus ce soir, ils se permettent de bouder et de dire il fallait réserver - en gros - vous mangerez les restes si vous ne réservez pas.
Apparement, le confinement n’a pas fait assez de mal à ce type de propriétaire impoli qui se cogne royalement des clients. 0 étoile mérité- Je n’y remettrais plus les pieds.
Imogen McGuigan reviewed Black Bear Burger Restaurant Shoreditch
Can. Not. Speak highly enough about Black Bear burger. My partner and I first discovered them a couple of years ago on a date night at box park. We'd had a couple of beers and fancied a burger that tasted half as good as the aroma coming from black bear smelled. We met Stew and Katie who were so lovely and spent a good 10 minutes having a natter while we did a couple of ski shots... may have been Canadian club with maple syrup? Absolutely delicious. Well, we thought it might have been the booze that made it so so tasty but how wrong we were.. we've Been back 4 or 5 times and been served by other staff members and every time we've enjoyed that same consistent burger, as high quality as the last. We always mix it up a bit, a brisket burger or the beef shim nuggets (to die for) but you cannot beat the classic so when lockdown came around and we had to take our date night's at home, I was delighted to see BBB were offering DIY kits and they didn't disappoint. I can guarantee you will not find a better burger in London. Bleecker is a close second but why settle for second? Love love loved it, see you next time when we hope to visit the Brixton restaurant x
Helen reviewed French Cooking School
I stayed with Poul and Niall at their beautiful home and attended the cook school over the New Year. I had a great time, learnt so much but in such a relaxed atmosphere with such great hosts. I hired a car and took the opportunity to visit lovely places in the afternoons recommended by them. The food, wine and company made it a brilliant way to spend a New Year break. I can't recommend the place highly enough, the location would be great in the summer time too...
