"I have been a frequent customer at Yumn Brasserie for many years one year actually getting food poisoning from this restaurant due to the chicken which was not cooked properly. However as the manager has been very nice I have always come back due to myself being a Croydon local I enjoy helping out local business. On recent occasion as you can see from the photos I booked today for 2:15pm. I was running late made several calls and went on the chat to let them know I was running late and if there was a grace period. I ended up getting to the restaurant 10 mins late in the end. Once I got there I was greeted by a woman and gentleman. The woman said you must leave we are closing. I stated look at my booking the man tried to look on the system as again the woman tried to usher us out the restaurant. As I have worked in customer service I said to them hey let’s just come to the agreement there could have been something wrong with bookings on your side and let me re-book to celebrate the new year in with my family. She said I am not too sure the gentleman looked at the bookings and said we can squeeze you in. Then the manager walked in I explained the situation and the bad customer service and he said well do you want the booking then? I thought personally this was very bad customer service as the manager knows we are locals and we come to this restaurant every year to support their business. He could have made things right by offering us a complimentary drink or discount on our food. Unfortunately, I will not be dining here again. And Yumn Beasserie has lost me as a customer due to the level of service."

"We had a great dinner at Sambal Tumis, which, to our Singaporean palates, was reflective of fairly authentic Malaysian food. We particularly enjoyed the Tauhu Goreng and Ayam Paprik, which we found to have very well balanced flavours. The Ayam Paprik was especially nice, with delicious notes of lime, lemongrass, and fish sauce, all of which paired well with plain jasmine rice. The Char kway teow also deserves special mention it hit the right notes with the right amounts of sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness. However, it lacked a 'wok hei ' that would have elevated the dish just that bit more from merely good to one that was excellent. The two dishes that disappointed somewhat were the (1 Ayam Pandan, and (2 butter curry chicken. The Ayam Pandan was overcooked, resulting in somewhat dry and tough chicken. The butter curry chicken was bland, and was essentially a puzzling concoction that (probably? aimed to be like the Indian 'Butter Chicken ', but which fell significantly short it was neither salty nor sweet nor robust enough. I found it to ultimately be a watery mess of a curry. I also disliked the use of chicken breast thigh meat would have been juicier and more flavoursome. Finally, we found service good, and the food to be value for money. Portions were very decent, prices were most reasonable, and service staff were prompt and efficient. This was a 4 star meal in sum; One star docked for the disappointing butter curry chicken and ayam Pandan."

"My twin brother and I took a few days off work were we jumped the train down from Kirkby to Liverpool City Centre to visit some of the great pubs and bars our city is justifiably famous for, at the top of our list of bars and pubs to visit was Brewdog, been here many times over the years, always had a good time and so it proved on our latest visit. This is a great looking Brewdog bar,a great looking serving bar dominates the main room, wonderful decor and furnishings, neon lite features and plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar both inside and outside looking out onto onto the busy and bustling Colquitt Street. We had a study of their great beer range and in the end we both opted to have Brewdog king kölsch , these were served in excellent condition, we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular bar while we sipped our ale 's. A big fan of this beer style, in fact on the run up to the Christmas period my twin brother and I were in Cologne for a weeks holiday which is a vibrant city on the River Rhine that we 've been visiting for close to 30 years ,this city is the home of kölsch beer brewed by so many breweries, breweries such as Pfaffgen Brauerei, Gaffel Brauerei, Dom Brauerei, Deutz Brauerei, Reissdorf Brauerei, Sion Brauerei, Sünner Brauerei, Schreckenskammer Brauerei, Muhlen Brauerei and of course Früh Brauerei who I noticed are named on the beer label ,my kölsch beer served here in Brewdog were amazing, it 's more an ale than a lager ,it 's golden, hoppy ,very light and very easy to drink ,when this kölsch is served freezing cold as in Brewdog its just an amazing brew to enjoy,its no coincidence that this bar is so popular with beers served in this good a condition by staff who are really knowledgeable about the beers they serve. We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to Brewdog we had a great time. Brewdog is easy to locate along Colquitt Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from midday. A wonderful craft beer bar serving an amazing range of great beers,well worth checking out if you 're in the area."

"It 's reassuring to read other reviews and see that many other people found the service awful. I never write restaurant reviews, but it 's such a waste of money when you are spending so much money for a nice occasion but you have **** service and you are felt like you are just holding up the staff from going home. My friend and I arrived for our 2pm booking and the indifferent man who greeted us informed me that we had 30 minutes to order before the kitchen closed. It was then that I realised that our booking was their last lunchtime booking. We were not warned about it when we made a reservation. From then on, everything was extremely rushed. All the staff were rude and unpleasant (apart from one waitress who gave us the BBQ sauces and the barman). We took our order and we had a few questions about the menu, e.g. whether 2 side dishes of rice would be too much with all the food, but the man just wrote down the dishes without answering our questions and said we had to order all our food because the kitchen was closing and just said 'it 's up to you ' whilst not even looking at us, just looking around at the rest of the restaurant. The food came and it was average (not as good as Olle restaurant). No one came to us and asked if everything was ok during the meal. The waitress came with the bill and didn 't ask how everything was, she just put the bill on the table and simply said 'We are closing '. I asked her if the last lunchtime booking gets to have dessert and she said 'No because we are closed and the staff need to finish ' and walked off. It 's bad when you are paying just as much as everyone else for your meal (close to £100 for 2 people, by the way) but you don 't have the same service. If you are going to have a last booking don 't close the kitchen 30 minutes after I don 't know any restaurants that do that. Or at least warn people before that they won 't be able to have any dessert. They didn 't even say the booking was 1 hour 30 minutes in the confirmation email. There are plenty of other nice restaurants in London where they don 't rush you and actually treat you as a valued customer I would never return here."
