"During a recent tour of London, our party of six (five 55+ adults and one 12YO male) decided to stop here for lunch. Since it was quite chilly that day (40 F and windy), we were wearing coats, sweaters, and nice jeans. Upon entering, the maitre d ' manager (I assume) made a comment to the effect of “Well, you certainly seem to have dressed warm today”. Maybe it was an attempt at humor, but it wasn’t exactly a friendly greeting. Seeing that the restaurant only had a party of five and a party of two seated, we asked if a table was available. Maitre d ' manager’s response was “Do you have a reservation?” Obviously not, or we would have said that when we entered. He said he’d see what was available, walked away, came back a few minutes later and asked a waitress to seat us at a table that was already set for six. The food (sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, chicken noodles, Szechuan beef, egg fried rice, white rice) was absolutely delicious. The wait staff was attentive, polite and gave us time to savor our meal. Meanwhile, the maitre d ' manager never once checked on us. He did, however, take the time to seat, take the order of and personally serve two young ladies seated directly across from our table who ordered Afternoon Tea. I also observed that at no time during our meal did the restaurant have more than a dozen patrons, including our party, and many were dressed in the same manner that we were. I’ve read this is supposed to be one of London’s best Asian restaurants. That’s certainly true from a food perspective. Unfortunately, some the staff’s attitude distracts from that."

"We arrived at about 3.30 pm on a Sunday, it is known to be very busy on Sundays, but my partner who is Autistic is happy enough to sit in this place, because the seats are well spaced apart from each table, and this helps his Claustrophobia problems and the lighting is yellow rather than white, it has a good ambiance feel inside. A really high ceiling with lanterns and Ikea lighting. It's a lovely place to grab a bite to eat and relax. the bar is particularly good and the service is as quick as they can work, which is pretty slick! I had a mocktail and they do some amazing drinks and an all-day breakfast, which is a good size at a reasonable price. My partner plummeted for the Burger and again, it all came out well presented, service with a smile. They also come around later to ask you if everything is ok and offer to top up drinks. The setup is, to find a table or be seated at busy times, the menus are on the table, you choose what you want and take the table number with you to the Bar, so you can place an order and pay for it immediately, there are no tabs left open in this place. The Bar with snacks and meals is run mainly by students and young people. But the service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. As we don't live in the area anymore, we don't frequent this place, but I found it on a whim one day, looking for somewhere to sit and get a drink, and wandered in. It is in St Stephens Place, in Trowbridge. It is a complex of the Odeon Cinema and a number of different cuisine restaurants and bars. In the summer months, there is seating outside, but this is very numbered. Beware that pets are allowed in this place, so you may end up sitting with a dog nearby. It is your choice to use the Lounge, but all Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and also kept quiet. Prices for food are competitive, there is a lot of Mexican food on the menu and they can be very hot! Drinks are a little pricier, it doubles up as a wine bar in the evening and other alcoholic beverages."
