"AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT FOOD POSIONING !!! Xen Noodle Bar Used to be the place to go what has happened ! Terrible experience ! Where to start When got seated we noticed the tables were filthy the floors were matching to, bits of food everywhere dead flys on the lighting the seats were all cracked and fabric missing, at this point we should of just left ! But we didn’t we placed our order and then the girl who was working told us the card machine was playing up and could we pay by bank transfer what at this point I didn’t mind, it was only when another couple walked in ordered they didn’t mention anything about there card machine not working to them so they must of thought we looked like we came from a certain community ! Then the food comes honestly this was terrible the plates were cold dirty underneath ! The food looked like it had been just sat there and dumped on the plate. We had to complain as it was luke warm and really just awful, the girl who told us the card machine was broke had left at this point and we spoke to another member of staff who tried to charge us for the meal again and we told her no we have already paid as the other member of staff told us the card machine was playing up and she said that nothing was wrong with the machine ! We did get refunded for one of the meals starters but I think the only reason they did this with ease was due to the local council food hygiene officer was doing a inspection at that moment in time."

"I went her with such such high expectations, amazing sign, great decor, nice branding. You walk in and are let down by the sight of chicken and salad and just think just another sub-standard baguette shop, another competitor to the great La-Minas, in my mind I thought there would be something new, imaginative, fresh. Some fresh dough pizzas? Fresh cookie dough? Something uncommon, nope. Anyway, I still thought I'd give these guys a shot, I'll go all out and spend the extra on a wrap. Had 2 different chickens mixed. The portion of bread to chicken ratio was small, no sauces, paid the extra for most the salads. Asked for a milkshake, kinder bueno and I wanted snickers mixed with it too... £1 extra!? But I thought fine, let me give it a try anyway, so in total it came to an eye watering £7 for a sub-standard wrap milkshake. So... the wrap, all I could taste was dry bread and cheese, didn't get much taste of the chicken at all, although I did try one of the chicken pieces on its own and it was actually nicely seasoned, was such a shame there wasn't enough of it, that there was no sauce so it was so dry and just a dolloping of cheese? The milkshake for me was probably the most off putting thing, it was a small takeaway cup and was so thin that it was as if I was drinking water, with a name like dough SHAKES, I was at least expecting a half decent milkshake especially paying £1 extra too! I would've given it 1/5, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this first visit (usually I like to at least go to a place twice before reviewing) and try their baguettes and actually ask them to make the milkshake thick. Moving forward, with the part of Albany road it is located where parking is difficult, and to bring in the punters after they've tried it I really believe they need to try something new like and different to what's already on the road and round the corner. At the absolute least offer different sizes of milkshakes and not charge an arm and a leg for them if they're not being executed properly. I'm more than happy to pay £3-5 for a milkshake as long as it tastes good and is the right consistency."
