"We ordered crispy duck, chicken satay, beef in black bean sauce, prawn toast, crispy chili beef, BBQ pork ribs, Chinese special curry, special fried rice, and pork chowmein. The crispy duck was served with a whole leg, completely crispy and freshly cooked - it tasted amazing. The chicken satay had the perfect sauce, exactly how I like it. The beef in black bean sauce was phenomenal - the beef was tender and the flavors were spot on. The prawn toast was unbelievable, and the crispy chili beef was my favorite dish out of everything. The BBQ pork ribs were meaty and delicious, and the Chinese special curry is a must-try. The special fried rice was tasty and could be a healthier option for dinner. The pork chowmein was absolutely delicious. Overall, everything was fantastic - you must try this place!"

"May used to be fantastic and the food was stunning. However, today the chicken satay was watery and tasteless with no peanut flavor, resembling the consistency of baby food. The chicken curry was also disappointing. I would only consider eating here again if dog poop was the only other option. I am deeply disappointed. The old May King had delicious food with flavor. The new version needs to go back to the original standards."

"first experience of Thai cuisine in this quirky small restaurant, full to the edge with customers, always a good sign of great good! and we were not disappointed. my man and I have always gone into the same Thai restaurant in the wide side for years, until we were introduced to the most delicious, authentic Asian cuisine by koch noi, cooked in the same room, according to their own heat specifications. we found our new favourite place and will definitely come back. and hope to introduce more people like us from our friends. a very friendly atmosphere, and the bonus to bring their own bottle!"

"This was our third visit to this restaurant, and this time we tried their lunch menu. We had previously only been for breakfast and coffee and cake. We visited during their busy time with the "eat out to help out" scheme and shared two smoothies, as well as savory and sweet avocado toasts, each accompanied by a dessert. The owner and her staff were very polite and helpful, despite being busy. They offered us a table upstairs, which we were delighted with. The food was amazing and we enjoyed every bit of it. We both agreed that we would have been happy to pay full price. Without a doubt, we will be back. This is our favorite vegan restaurant!"

"There is so much to say that's great about this little restaurant. Fish cakes for starters were amazing, as was the Penang curry for a main, I sadly chose the lamb and mango curry as I like to try new things, which wasn't to my pallet, but the portions were so good that my partner shared her parang curry, and with the sticky rice and the most tasty pad Thai noodles, we could not finish everything. The prices are reasonable for the portions sizes and no corkage charge is a real bonus! The waitress was very accommodating for every need and very knowledgeable of all things served, don't be afraid to ask for anything. No card payments only cash but the cash machine is over the road so it's not a big problem. The final treat was a sorbet and fruit which was free! Overall it was the best dining experience I have had in a Thai restaurant in Thanet, and I have eaten in most, highly recommended by two very fussy eaters, in fact, why are you reading this still? You should be booking right now!!!"

"We spent two nights at the Crescent Victoria, and found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful sea view. On the first morning, we enjoyed our breakfast in the garden under the warm sunshine. The staff made us feel very welcome and the food was outstanding and plentiful. We felt very spoiled and would definitely return here again. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience."

"This review covers two visits,the first late last summer and the second just after Christmas. First the BAD NEWS!!!!! We walked down to Millies last summer with a couple of friends, even though we had stopped going due to the previous attitude of the owner and the state of the place. We sat outside just as a large party left the table. It was covered in plates with the remnants of their meal and lots of half filled glasses along with a pool of melted ice cream under the table. I told our friends it would probably take half an hour for it to be cleaned was wrong it only took 25 minutes! The pool of ice cream was not touched. All this time the owner was parked on a table chatting to people totally oblivious to the state of the place there were several tables in the same state .Fast forward to just after Christmas. A bright, sunny afternoon and we decided to go for a walk. As we passed a very busy Millies we thought lets just have one. I went to the bar while the wife went to a table near the front where people were getting up. As i waited at the bar a young waitress went up to the table to tell my wife she could not sit there. My wife pointed out there was no reserved sign only to be told there were people waiting i don 't know where . As this was taking place the owner bustled pst saying ' oh this could be trouble '. The good lady wife conducted herself very well, bit her tongue gave me the nod and we walked out. The rudest owner i have met in one of the grubbiest bars i have been in and i 've been in a few! will not be seeing us ever again unless it is sold on to someone who has some idea how to look after a bar and treat people with a modicum of respect. Now for the GOOD NEWS!!!! Apparently Pavs cafe,opposite,has been bought by a local guy who has plenty experience of the trade and intends to turn it into a bar. This should be a great alternative to the other place and if his prices are only a little more reasonable than them it can only succeed. Good Luck to him."

"Lovely cafe next door to the Premier Inn which was ideal for grabbing some snacks/ breakfast. Fairly priced items definitely value for money, considering it is located in a train station. They’d got a good choice of food as well, lovely cobs with generous fillings (which were perfect for grabbing, ready for eating on the train). Friendly staff atmosphere couldn’t ask for much better. Will definitely be back when we’re next in Margate thank you! Loved the Panda on the hot chocolate! Simple touch but shows the owners go that extra mile to make things nice."

"Read the reviews here about the owner- spot on- a one off. Always chatting and cracking jokes with every one. Got here early and the restaurant soon filled up. The owner seemed to be front of house and also running into the kitchen for...a few minutes and the service was a bit hit and miss. Waited an hour for my food- there were obviously problems some where. When I eventually got my order it was very good- veg pathia- pilau rice and a puri naan- the naans were off the menu because the owner's wife- who is the chef- had been off or a day and they were always made freshly. Food was obviously freshly made- so different from many places- although my pathia was a tad too sweet for my taste- just a personal prefernce. All in all a very good restaurant where the food is freshly cooked- just wished the service had been quciker."

"We were on a day visit to Ramsgate just down the road from Margate (Cliftonville) and spotted Rileys, coincidentally having the same surname we just had to go for Coffee and Cakes. We were served by a pleasant lady, Kim, who we found jointly ran the business with Chris. We must say that the coffee was second to none and blew spots off of Costa's and at a fraction of the cost Good luck to you both, you deserve it with customer service superb. By the way Kim hope you have a great holiday, you helped to make our visit most enjoyable."

"We had a wonderful dining experience tonight when we ate inside. The hostess went out of her way to accommodate us and find a table, even though it would have been simpler for her to turn us away. The food was exceptional, especially the locally caught skate, which was delicious."

"Me, my mum and daughter were in wwx looking for somewhere cheap to have a coffee and eat, this place looked busy so thought we would try it, quickly i realised there was no clear tables after waiting 5 mins for someone to clear a table i had enough and took everything off myself and took it too the counter, a woman im guessing is the manager (dark hair older woman) then told me to take it into the back where the kitchen is so they can wash it like i was a member of staff, i then decided to go to the toilet where i found human faeces on the floor, i quickly exited and told the same lady in which is replied “thats fine dont worry about it ill sort it in a bit” the tone of her voice sounded like she wasn't shocked at all almost like someone else had also complained about it. I think its completely unacceptable that this wasnt dealt with as urgent, i didnt see anyone go to deal with it in the next 5 mins so we quickly left and ate elsewhere, never in my life have i ever come across somewhere that has such low standards and treats customers like staff defiantly will not be returning."

"Stooped in here for an ice cream. First visit, won 't be our last. 2 of us had ice cream in little tubs, strawberry cheesecake and Rum Raisin. There were over 30 flavours to choose from! Dreamy ice cream. 2 of us went for a single 99 cone. The whippy ice cream for the cones is their own secret recipe and thank goodness we only went for a single cone each. It was absolutely delicious, undoubtedly the best whippy ice ream I have had in a long time and the biggest. It was like a 3 course meal. The double, I am sure, will not be for the fainthearted. Delightful staff, an ice cream menu to die for. We will be back to try a Sundae. For lunch, I think. This is a gem in Ramsgate and should not be missed."

"My friend and I went for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our food between courses, which was great because we ended up having 3 courses! The food was delicious, well-cooked with a great selection of fresh vegetables. We started with cheese and leek croquettes, which came with a spicy dip, and were delicious! For our main course, we had roast beef. My friend had it rare and I wanted mine cooked a little more, which they did without any issues - very pleased about that. The roast beef was served with a huge Yorkshire pudding, tasty roast potatoes, 3 fresh vegetables, and a delicious gravy. For dessert, I had the salted caramel tart which had the thinnest pastry and was rich and delicious. My friend had the pecan tart, which looked lovely and she said tasted as good as it looked. We didn't feel rushed at all, which was lovely. They also had another section of the restaurant where you could dine with your dog, which was a great idea. I would highly recommend this place for a roast or a snack with a relaxing atmosphere."

"I almost don't want to recommend this cute cafe I'd like it to remain slightly undiscovered so there is always a table for me and my friends but it deserves a good review! It's a great find at the quieter end of Broadstairs beach, just a few tables at the edge of the sea, wonderful bacon and sausage sandwiches, and for us, a great way to start a Sunday morning when we visit Broadstairs.. You sit right next to the beach or on the beach if the few tables are busy , take in the sea air, just watch the quiet world. Busy bank holidays .... well, still as cute, but busy ! and a long wait for food, The staff are polite and friendly and very apologetic if you do have to wait a bit. Not sure if this is open all year round or just seasonal. Think we've been August, September and April, May only,"

"Took my wife and eldest Granddaughter for a Sunday Carvery at Stonelees. It was first class! We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table to peruse the 3 course menu. We decided against a starter to ensure we had room for dessert! The carvery had a choice of Roast Beef, Turkey, Gammon, (or all 3! served with stuffing balls, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and red wine gravy. Vegetables were served at the table. Everything was cooked to perfection, piping hot and delicious! The desserts we chose were amazing, prepared with TLC! The service by the waitresses was faultless, thank you. It was 'refreshing ' to have water on the table and additional drinks could also be purchased. It was a nice touch for the chef to come and have a chat with us at our table. It also gave us to opportunity to thank him and his team for a tasty lunch. Without hesitation, we 'll be back. But as for today, it 's battling the winds with 9 holes on the Executive Course!"

"I am sad to say it was the worst Chinese I 've had and some was unbeatable. The chicken balls had something in the middle that was soft and almost spreadable. No way was it chicken. The rice had tiny bits of bone in which broke my filling which cost me over £70 today. The chow mein was bland and again the 'chicken in it was vile. I thought it was uncooked fish. We spent £80 yesterday. The beef dish again the beef looked boiled. The Singapore noodles were too spicy to eat. Other dishes included squid and king prawns but I didn 't eat those. Won 't go back. Only went as my usual one was closed. Worst birthday meal I 've ever had!"

"Although fairly local, I had never visited this delightful bakery before. The owners are warm, lovely and friendly. The interior is unique and a real treat, especially for little ones I expect. I ordered a nice take away coffee and two filled rolls, which were so fresh, soft and very generously filled with high quality ingredients. I thought the price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products. The cakes looked amazing and the way all the items were arranged, was exquisite. I am glad I finally visited ‘Naughty But Nice’ and highly recommend it. I wish them all the very best as they deserve great success."
