"Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. They were also very kind to our dog. We had drinks and food and though the drinks were good, the food was not. The words 'frozen ' and 'microwave ' were forefront in my mind throughout. The mash potato I had with my pie was face meltingly hot suggesting the microwave was used, and my wife 's battered fish was mushy and watery suggesting it was deep fried from frozen. The batter was also only about 1mm thick and was like wise mushy. The meat in my chunky steak pie was definatly chunky but was a little too firm (not tough, just not tender. Probably the wrong cut of meat rather than badly cooked). I then had the caramel apple pie as did another member of my party. While his was hot, mine was cold. I had mine with cream which when it arrived, had bubbles in and was luke warm. What I think happened was that mine was microwaved first and then drowned in cream and left to sit while the other was microwaved. This mean mine cooled in the cream while the cream warmed. It also meant that the pastry on the bottom went soggy, and from the rest of the pastry, it didn 't seem like it had much crisp to begin with. Now I know that times are hard and pubs like this can 't be expected to make everything from scratch, but there are 3 other pubs close by and unfortunately this one is doing nothing to stand out from the others, in terms of food anyway. Overall, a nice place for a quiet drink, but I 'll not be back for the food. The only saving grace was the price; £80 for 2 rounds of drinks (1 pint, 1 coke and 2 halves per round), 4 mains and 2 desserts...I suppose you get that you pay for though..."

"My partner and I visited Caramaba Brazilian Steakhouse on a Sunday, attracted by the promise of a diverse salad bar and a variety of freshly prepared buffet meats. The restaurant ambiance was inviting, and we appreciated the intimate experience of being the only ones there a strong highlight being the spiced pineapple The salad bar did not disappoint, offering an array of options including cheesy mash, garlic bread, pasta, various vegetables, and nachos. It was a great start to our dining experience, and we were looking forward to sampling the buffet meats. However, our excitement waned when we encountered an issue with the preparation of the meats. Despite my partner's preference for well done meat, I had expressed a desire for medium rare, trusting the chef's recommendations. Unfortunately, both times my meat arrived, it was well done, contrary to my request. I brought this to the attention of the staff, hoping for a correction. Regrettably, even after requesting a second serving cooked to medium rare, the meat still arrived well done. This inconsistency was disappointing and detracted from an otherwise enjoyable meal. In conclusion, while Caramaba Brazilian Steakhouse offers a pleasant atmosphere and a varied selection of salad bar items and buffet meats, the inability to fulfill specific cooking preferences was a notable downside. Improved attention to customer requests and consistency in food preparation would greatly enhance the overall dining experience."

"When in Rome, do like the Romans goes the saying. When in Chinatown, do like Chinese , I say. If that means summoning the waiter by simply waiving your hand, or even snapping fingers, so be it. If that means ignoring chintzy decor and dirty looks (there goes another Gaijin , so be it. If that means ordering 57 dishes of the most amazing tantalizing delicious food, whereas you can only eat no more than 7 dishes, so be it. True happiness comes from within, and that 's why my dear aunt used to say When you 've eaten, your soul becomes kinder . Mind you, good food isn 't easy to find. Good CHINESE food? Oh, mate, you 're asking for the moon! But, here, at Kam Tong, good food is simply an understatement. Food here is beyond that. Of course, you must be willing to look past the garden variety of moo-shoo pork and sweet and sour chicken and order the REAL Chinese food. And that, my friends, is where the true pleasure lies. Go on, order. I 'll wait. What, you want EVERYTHING on the menu? Well, yeah. Me too! The quality of the food here is in smells, flavor, taste and sight. If you go for one place in Bayswater, make this your one stop. Cheers (we 're in London, after all! Addendum. As we were sitting down for our second meal in as many days at Kam Tang, somebody at a table next to ours asked for Pad Thai. PEOPLE!!! Dafuq is wrong with you!!! You wouldn 't ask for fish and chips at a French restaurant, or sushi at curry joint. Then why the **** not learn what the amazing Chinese cuisine is all about!!! Argh!"
