"I used to be a loyal patron, but I was quite disappointed when I paid £9 for a rice dish that only had 2 prawns. It felt like I could have easily prepared it at home for much less. I mentioned my concerns when I ordered 3 dishes, specifically asking for a decent amount of prawns, and I was assured they would meet my request. Unfortunately, they didn 't follow through on their promise. My daughters and I used to frequent this place, but this experience has led us to reconsider our choice. Please consider improving the quality and quantity of your dishes.Please take this feedback into account for future improvements RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand your concern, and I appreciate your apology for not meeting the expected standard in your prawn dishes. It 's reassuring to know that your prawn dishes should include 4 king prawns, and it may have been an unintentional mistake. However, I won 't email you to resolve this issue. I 've experienced this problem multiple times, with the most recent occurrence just a few days ago when my daughter and I ordered the same dish, and the prawns were once again insufficient. While one mistake can be forgiven, a total of 5 incorrect dishes within a week suggests a recurring issue. We value our hard-earned money just as much as you do, and we hope for better experiences in the future. This experience has left us with no choice but to say, NEVER AGAIN."

"Mediocrity. It 's not as bad as it seems when it comes to sushi in London. Just had Tokiya Sushi and have to say: why are resturants so cheap with their fish when making maki here? All I 'm asking for is equal parts fish/veggie to rice, not even more fish than rice like I 'd find in the US but this seems like a difficult enough ask. On the upside, their sushi is yum yum yummie, and pretty cheap, affordable by all who have about 10-15 quid to spend on a dinner, but maki, although good, has such a small amount of the fish you order in it, it doesn 't even make sense to order them over the sushi unless you really don 't like fish. Not so good point #2 My dinner-mate got a sushi regular which was 6 pieces of sushi and 5 pieces of maki. What they didn 't state was that maki means the cheapest thing possible which turned out to be a cucumber roll with not even a bit of fish in the roll in sight. Obviously if people are ordering a sushi plate, they aren 't vegetarians and generally will expect SOME fish in their maki! End diagnosis, would order take away from (i forgot to mention there is a 10 pound per person rule even though most of their entrees are under 10 pounds and oh yeah it DOESN 'T include drinks) especially the sushi, but don 't go by the photo here, you are lucky if the maki comes with half that much filling, albeit they are still tasty if unsatisfactory. sushi pretty good, maki order take away from Tsunami just down the other way."

"Chung Ying is a mix of a restaurant and a bar. Contemporary setting with both a great food menu and a great cocktail menu. Good atmosphere and when eating it doesn't feel as if a rowdy bar has taken over and when there to drink it doesn't feel like a stuffy formal restaurant, so a good mix. We went for a drink on the Friday as part of the Birmingham Cocktail Weekend and were actually looking to eat there so were really disappointed to find that they'd booked a large function; surely they must have known the trade from the Cocktail Weekend would make them busier anyway so that was disappointing. Returned the next day though to tick the venue off the list and were not disappointed with the drink which was delicious and seeing people around us having items off a special weekend dim sum menu whetted the appetite so we had an item off there as well which was very tasty. Good fast service."

"the best Thai food by far, we had a lot of take-aways in tiling and great to eat again, the food is so fresh and tasty and the personal friendly and welcoming, the place was full a few times recently as we. tries to book what is great to see that places like these are back in full capacity. the disadvantage.....Hard to choose what to have, how everything is good, must force me to try new dishes, otherwise I just pull myself for my favorite, green chicken curry, huhn massaman, so that this time had a fish dish, it was nicely cooked to perfection and not seasoned, cannot remember the name of the teller. had space for bananas in kokosmilch (only)"

"This restaurant is in the centre of Newcastle. It is combined with a grocery store on one side. The café is not large, with seats perhaps for people. It is simply decorated. You order and pay at the counter although the food is brought...to your table. The menu is brief, which I consider a good thing in a small establishment as you know the turnover will be fairly rapid. I was the only person eating at pm on a Tuesday evening. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are a good size. I had a portion of Imperial Spring Rolls to begin, two large sausages cut in half, for They came with some dipping sauce and a carrot and lettuce garnish. In Vietnam, the garnish would be more plentiful as you wrap the rolls into the lettuce, as well as various herbs, and then dip the whole lot into a fish sauce. So often in the UK, the accoutrements are overlooked, but I have been told this is because British folk usually leave them and they go to waste. Although reasonably tasty, I fear they had been frozen and brought back to life by some quick deep frying. Although they retained their crispiness, one of my portions had clearly also retained some water and had this dulled the delicate tastes that you usually experience. My main course was excellent (although, again, it did not come with the full range of garnish one would receive in Vietnam, such as holy basil). My beef pho had a wonderfully aromatic clear soup base, tasty strips of beef, flat rice noodles and some vegetables. The bowl was a good size for I am not sure if the café is licenced as I did not see any alcohol but there was a fridge full of soft drinks. I asked for a glass of tap water, which came beautifully chilled."
