"Overall, we had a good time. The scones were incredible. I was unpleasantly surprised the teas were bagged. Being a TEA room you'd expect a better tea quality than what you get cheaply from a grocery store. I drink a way better leafy tea at home on a daily basis.

"This is the 4th Pho out of its chain we've been to... Firstly, the location itself was very nice, wasn't hard to find nor was it too far the main stations nearby which are: St. Paul's, Mansion House, Bank, which are all Underground stations and finally Bank DLR. Seeing Pho is located within One New Change shopping centre, there are many other stores and restaurants closeby. The place itself is one of the better looking structures out of the many we've visited, it has more than enough seating for larger parties alongside a couple. The only drawback was with its quality of food, it's far the worst we've tasted out of its chain, not sure why this is seeing it technically should be on par with the rest, perhaps we visited on the wrong day and normally the food is what we'd expect but it's still slightly surprising. All in all, it wasn't bad but could of been a better in certain ways."

"I have been wanting to visit here for ages but the stars have never aligned until Saturday. We were extremely lucky to get a walk in for the two of us. We were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. As we didn't have any drinks with us Peter suggested Tesco a few doors down and I was able to grab a bottle to enjoy with the meal. The service was wonderful and friendly and it felt like we had been going there for years, with just the right amount of care and advice. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the chicken satay and spring rolls to start and they were beautiful. The satay was amazing and was much darker in colour than any I have had before, but much better in flavour than any I have had before, I would definitely have these again. For main I had a chicken rendang and my wife ordered gule monkfish. The rendang was again perfect for my tastes. Spicy but flavourful with a generous portion that would satisfy the majority of eaters. I would have had seconds, even though I was stuffed because it was so good. I can't comment too much on the monkfish as I have a dislike of seafood, but my wife raved about it and said she's having the same again next time without question. So I think that sums it up. We finished with deserts of a rice pudding dish I think was called bubar, which was black rice and coconut, and the second dish we ordered was a Banana coconut pancake to which I forget the name. Again I couldn't find fault if I tried another 10 out of 10. At the end of the meal we met owner and chef Ami, who came to chat. It was lovely speaking to the owners and their passion for the food and customer service was clear. We cannot wait until our next visit"

"Wow, was it worth it! The place was packed with a real buzz about it. The food was gorgeous, the owner Ira is a character and we had a real laugh with her. She has one of those signs that used to be in old swimming baths- no diving, no petting etc and on seeing a young couple holding hands she showed them the sign and had the whole restaurant laughing as she bantered with them about it. They have quirky circular menus which we loved, the food was absolutely gorgeous, we had chicken schnitzel, salt beef, latkes, fish and chicken soup, then New York cheesecake with rum and raisin ice cream, which I hadn't intended having any, but was so yummy I ended up fighting for half of. All the food is freshly cooked and really delicious."

"We visited Dover Marine Hotel yesterday 16th December 2023 for a Christmas lunch. We have visited many times with family for coffees at this Hotel, but never for lunch, so we had no expectations. From the moment we arrived we were treated with courtesy and attentiveness . We were taken to our table which was a lovely crescent shaped banquette and seated. We had a wait of half an hour for our meal in which time we were given fresh French bread, plenty of water and our specified wine and drinks. Our orders taken we were able to take in the atmosphere which was tastefully decorated in the English Christmas tradition with lit Xmas trees. Our starters salmon and peppers and mozzarella were light, finely prepared and the Game Pie was very filling all were delicious. The mains were all traditional roast Turkey which lay almost regally across our plates with its courtiers of Brussel sprouts, carrots, French beans, pigs in blankets and stuffing. Finishing with a home made brownie, superb ice cream and a Dickensian plum pudding. Coffee was offered but declined . Our extended family live abroad so we have made it a yearly event to celebrate with them in spirit at various local eateries and restaurants We all agreed that this lunch was the best not only for its excellent cuisine, but most importantly for its wonderful service. All the staff in the restaurant and throughout the Hotel were impeccable in their manner, in particular our two waiters Paolo was one who served us and nothing was too much trouble. We wish to commend the whole experience."

"Only my second visit but after such a good lunch on my first visit excellent schnitzel and potato salad I took my brother. The food is really fresh and tasty and comes in such generous portions that we couldn't manage pudding even though I really want to try their kaiserschmarrn. The spätzle and käse bockwurst were delicious and made me very nostalgic for proper Austrian comfort food but all the food is great and my crayfish caesar salad was huge! I had started with a sour cherry spritzer and that was huge too but really refreshing. The house lager is very good. Service really friendly and helpful and I'd be interested to see how it is in the evening because during the day it doesn't really have much atmosphere because of the work diners and slightly dodgy music sorry! I'll definitely be back and my brother loved it too."

"Was a bit optimistic about ordering from here but thought we'd give it a bash and thank goodness we did, food was absolutely amazing and plenty of it. We ordered a Salt Spicy Munchie Box and a chicken chow mein special Saturday night offer £20.50 it fed 3 adults amply and there was enough left for 2 adults to warm up the following day. Food was of excellent quality, well cooked and extremely tasty, also included complimentary prawn crackers. Added bonus they deliver too for a small fee. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to try ourselves again."

The duck was amazing so tasty ! And then came the mains ….. I ordered salt and pepper king prawns wow they was delicious , my husband had special curry again gorgeous but best of all which my husband still can’t get over was the chips !!

Well done food was lovely if I could say one development area it would be the table it wasn’t placed in the best area of the dining room and felt a little out of the way, if in the area will defo be back"

"Me and my partner visited here last weekend before our visit to natural history museum. We were hoping for a quick and easy late lunch. The food was very nice however service was not great. Firstly my mash potatoes arrived cold, they were replaced shortly after, but we felt the waiter was not unconcerned, and generally disinterested. We were never approached to ask if everything was fine, nor if we wanted a dessert or a bill later. We had to go and gind staff ourselves to ask if we can order a pudding and much later if we can get the bill. Our waiting time for being served didn’t make it a quick lunch( restaurant was not busy) and inattentive service made us feel undervalued. We went to find our waiter to ask if we can pay as at that point we were late for our time slot for the museum. We were never shown our bill, however later realised that a service charged must have been added (as the totals didn’t add up), which considering our experience was very disappointing."

"I went to this restaurant with my family for a coffee and lunch. We were seated quickly as it wasn't too crowded. We ordered food and coffee, and the menu looked promising. Our coffee arrived after 10 minutes, but we ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours and still didn't receive our food. We decided to cancel our order, pay for the coffee, and leave. It seemed like phone orders were prioritized over in-person customers, as a delivery driver came and went during our wait. As we were leaving, we heard the staff informing new customers to expect an hour wait. If we had known this beforehand, we would have gone somewhere else. The restaurant wasn't very busy, with more empty tables than occupied ones. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I will not be returning."

"What a great selection. Four rows of six eight dishes per. Some note able items; duck, deshelled King prawns, pork ribs, two different soup options, and a well set salad bar. Dessert row with ice cream, apple crumble, cheese cakes and chocolate cake. Staff are attentive and polite. Soda drinks are from a can, ensuring fresh taste. We ate our hearts out and will return. One star lost due to no enforcement of utilizing gloves set by buffet and communal ice cream scoups."

"Very good Greek food in a cozy small restaurant (about 12 tables , located in a strip mall on Applegate Rd. After Taverna Ouzo closed its doors (coincidentally, it was located on the same Applegate Rd. quite a few years ago, there weren 't any authentic Greek restaurants in the area, so we are happy with our new finding. Faros (apparently, owned, managed, and served by people of Greek descent serves fully authentic and deliciously prepared Greek cuisine. The menu is extensive, there is a variety of choices for every taste and like. The food is fresh, the grilled dishes are thoroughly prepared to perfection. The hot appetizers platter Zesta pikilia tis pareas (assortment of tiropitakia, keftedakia, dolmadakia, spanakopitakia, and gigantes is ideal for two people and is offered for a budget friendly price of $20.5. The main courses, both traditional Greek specialties, souvlaki, and gyro platters are on the bigger side, definitely guaranteeing a need for box it up, please . The overall pricing is in today 's day and age certainly decent. Undoubtedly, highly recommended."

"Recently ordered from here, gentlemen that answered the phone was really polite and professional. He made sure to get our order 100% right. Pickup was quick and it came in a box which helped keep it all together. That’s where it ends, the food was absolutely horrendous, no seasoning, chicken was raw in parts and swimming in water, wasn’t mixed and tasted horrible. We took one bite and had to throw it away was a massive shame as the reviews and service were great. It was also my partners birthday which meant we had to cook late which completely ruined our evening."

"During a life of business meetings in the city, I had come to like visiting Pret. I have to admit to hating the coffee, as nit a single Pret serves even a half decent cup of coffee, but the sandwiches on the whole were reasonable. I had lived in Newbury for 20 years and just as I was leaving a Pret opened. On a visit to Newbury earlier this year I was in need of some lunch and stopped off to see what was available and what if anything was new. However, on this occasion (accepting that it might be better at other times) I found this to be a poor example of a brand I had used often. It's huge and in comparison to its size it offered little produce. It also appeared to be understaffed as it was not busy, but what tables it had were full of litter. So little choice (empty shelves) and littered tables. It was 1pm and either the store is so popular it can't keep up with demand or it genuinely doesn't have enough staff. It's a shame as I wouldn't go back and would prefer to go without."

"The food at this restaurant may be suitable for those looking for a long life, but not for those seeking a short life. The duck dish with black bean sauce was swimming in oil and overloaded with salt. The honey glazed shredded chilli chicken was overly sticky and chewy, lacking the promised abundance of chillies. Surprisingly, the rice was the highlight of the meal, being both tasty and reasonably priced at just 60 pence per serving."

"ROYAL PHEONIX CHINESE RESTAURANT .. Well, this Chinese Restaurant has been hit for a third time by an out of control car.. At great expense the owner is having to repair the building hit by an out of control car.. Obviously, the owner is rightly concerned that a person persons could will be injured by yet another out of control car hitting the property.. Local Council Police need to take the relative necessary action to stop out of control cars from hitting the property.. It is evident that the pedestrian railings to protect pedestrians are severely inadequate.. Proper metal concrete bollards need to be placed as to stop out of control cars.. The road opposite this establishment is named as Moscow Mill Street, very unusual.. According to locals eating out the food here is highly recommended.. ROYAL PHEONIX CHINESE RESTAURANT .."

"This place had a makeover a year or so ago, following a fire, and it looks only slightly different now. I’m not sure that the changes are for the better, as the benches and chairs make it look more like a cafe (as opposed to a restaurant) now. The menu has also changed quite a bit it’s more restricted now, and it has more of a Middle eastern feel than a traditional kosher feel. In other respects, though, it’s still the same: you still get service that floats between unfussy (on the edge of surly) and helpful, and the waitresses were particularly good at advising my son on the kids’ portions and helping him to decide whether to order from the kids’ menu or from the adults’ (and offering to adapt the latter to suit him). The best bit, as ever, was the food, with large portions as usual: good, hot chicken soup (although a bit too salty), and good teriyaki chicken (with the customary excellent chips); the lamb was good too (a huge portion), and my son was very happy with both his burger and his hot dog. The desserts were a bit disappointing, with the description of the chocolate explosion somewhat over selling the rich, distinctly unchocolately product that arrived. The least impressive bit was that there wasn’t a lock on the gents’ loo with only one male loo facility (no urinals), it really isn’t good enough to expect occupants to sit (or stand) there knowing that some unwitting other customer might walk in at any time. This restaurant of course corners the market, but it wouldn’t take much to convert it from being a decent place to a very good place. As it is, there’s a just a bit too much of taking the clientele for granted for me to be truly evangelical about it."
