"!!!!!!!!!!AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £27 for a stone cold kebab that took 1.5 hours to come. Staff are awful in the shop, super rude and hung up the phone to me. Manager Barrish ‘doesn’t speak English’. Whilst on the phone to the kebab shop I heard in the background lots of shouting and swearing until the poor boy who answers the phone was ordered to shut the phone down. Cheesy chips and kebabs with two drinks for £27! Driver isn’t on their books either. Don’t waste your time or money. Thrown straight in the bin. Worst experience ever."

"I can't figure out why this restaurant has a 4-star rating. It's just average, the restaurant is in poor condition, and the food is mediocre at best. I wouldn't consider it authentic or tasty. I decided to give it a shot based on the reviews and was very let down. Open Table should carefully review the feedback and take into account if some of it is biased towards the restaurant."

"I ordered takeout from Anna's Thai for the second time on February 4th, and I must say, this was the worst customer service I have ever encountered. When I called to place an order for delivery, I was told that I had to order online. Before I could respond, the person on the other end of the line hung up. Despite enjoying the food previously, I placed an order with the expectation that my delivery would arrive within an hour. After an hour and 20 minutes passed, I had to call twice as they kept telling me the driver was on the way, first in 5-6 minutes and then 3 minutes. Unfortunately, my partner, who is diabetic, was becoming unwell due to his sugar levels, so I cancelled the order and demanded a refund. I was then told that the driver mistook my neighbour for the one who ordered (clearly not reading the order properly) and that they would prepare another meal for us. I rushed out to get an alternative takeaway to avoid further delays, only to find out that our food was being accepted by our so-called neighbour (the driver asked if the food was for them at the specific door number). This was essentially theft and shocking. When I confronted the driver about this and why he was giving our food to someone else, he wanted to give it back to me, which is against Health Safety regulations. I declined and asked him to take the food back. The driver then swore at me, got back in the car, and sped off. Although the restaurant responded to my email quickly, they have not taken any accountability for the situation, claiming that they don't have control over the drivers' behavior once they leave the shop, and their only responsibility is to drop off the food. I am still waiting to see if they will acknowledge their failure to meet customer expectations. My advice: do not order from Anna's Thai."

"This is a review for takeout. We ordered a Thai takeaway for a family of 4 adults and found it to be expensive, costing over £84 with a pre-set delivery charge and service charge included. Although I don't mind paying for good food, the portion sizes did not match the price we paid. The hot and sour soup was served in a tiny plastic bowl with minimal prawns and mushrooms, lacking substance. The prawn toasts and spring rolls were extremely small, almost laughable in size. While the main courses were tasty, the portions were so small that we were left hungry afterwards. Overall, we found the food to be very poor value for money. Although there were no issues with the Deliveroo delivery service, we will not be ordering from this restaurant again."

"Extremely horrible customer service. I ordered through their website to collect from Grays Inn, for which I received an e-mail confirming the order and pick-up location. Once I arrived to the place, I was told they had not received my order. I called the phone...number in the e-mail to be told that they only offer collection from their Marylebone branch, despite their website allowing me to choose Grays Inn, and that I had to go all the way to collect it from there. After rejecting walking for another hour, they told me to ask the Grays Inn branch to call them. The staff at Grays Inn did not manage to contact them in minutes although it took me only another minute to do so from my phone and put them in touch through my personal cell phone. When I finally got the order from the Grays Inn branch where I had been waiting for already minutes, the employee told me they were doing me a favor only for this time, as if it was my fault that their website sells services they can't fulfil! Unbelievable! When I thought nothing else could go wrong, I got home to open my package and discover they hadn't added a single sachet of soy sauce. Overall, terrible experience with even worse customer service. Last time I order from them."

"For our dinner, we both decided to try the special dishes on the menu. I chose the tamarind duck with a side of sticky rice. I remembered having duck at a market during lunchtime before. The duck tasted delicious, especially when cooked with tamarind, which gave it a warm flavor. The dish was served with a twist of red and green peppers, all covered in a sauce with a unique name, "gai yang som tum khao niew." I would recommend asking for the dish by name if you want to try it. It is a typical regional Thai dish consisting of grilled chicken and papaya salad served with sticky rice."

"I just had the worst experience ever with their take away menu! In a time where we should all help each other and be kind, I found the experience with my local restaurant very stressful. I'm in quarantine so already under pressure and I decided to order for me and my daughter a take away to support my local restaurants. I've ordered two noddles and I read the ingredients, it was written chilies but not very hot or very spicy or anything like that. Food arrived and couldn't be eaten! My lips were on fire and I don't even mention the reaction of my daughter. we couldn't eat it, and I do eat spicy food! I phoned and explained that I was a local customer, I was in quarantine and if they could kindly send me back my dinner less spicy. The owner said that it was written there was chilly and I argued that it was mentioned as an ingredient and not as hot or spicy or anything like that. The result was that they didn't offer to send me the dinner again and also no refund, they argued they were really busy and didn't seem to care I was in quarantine with no dinner! In normal times I would have found this very rude but in this lockdown climate I found it very nasty!!!"

"the staff was friendly, but unfortunately the eating was disappointing. we had no feedback so they could not even feed back to the personal. it did not taste that fresh and was dry/painted in taste. the restaurant also felt a bit dirty, it was dusty through the windows and the bathroom needed some tlc, most of the spot lights were out"

"What an incredible experience, we went to the Teppanyaki dinner with 2 other couples so we made up half the table but there were couples as well all sat on a large square horseshoe table, if that makes sense, with a chef in the centre cooking on a large grill. You ordered exactly what you wanted and the accuracy and quality of cooking was amazing. Add the theatre of the chef with his comedy antics and juggling skills including audience participation made it a dining experience second to none. If you want a romantic quiet dinner, its not the place but if you want a unique dining experience with high quality food and wine then give it a go, you won't regret it."

"We visited Koto Restaurant on North Parade for Sunday lunch for the first time, and we wish we had tried it sooner. The ramen broth was incredibly delicious, with a gentleman next to us remarking that it tasted just like what he had in Japan. The menu was straightforward and easy to order from, with both the broth and noodles being homemade and preservative-free. The food was healthy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The only downside was that they do not take reservations, so there may be a wait. Overall, I would rate the food at Koto Restaurant as some of the best in Oxford."

"I'm at a loss for words. It could be amazing. I had made a reservation, but then they called to tell me they were closed. I appreciate the heads up, but it would be preferable if they didn't advertise as open when they're not."

"I've been to this place so many times and it's been always amazing. We start with Special Sashimi, every single piece was perfect, really tasty. The best two ones were fatty tuna and scallops. After that Vegetable Gyoza and spicy scallop roll, then udon noodles. At the end green tea ice cream. During the dinner a bottle of Italian wine, Soave. It was very fresh and good. Service is the only thing that it could be better. Anyway this is the best Japanese I have ever tried. It's so close to the real Japanese. This restaurant is definitely recommended!"

"I lived in london in the late 80s and there were only 2 sushi bars in the city, one in the Mitsukoshi business and the other, a small but expensive in covent gardens. the brides have eaten nothing that looked like it might have been alive in these days! there were rarely any boobs in each restaurant, but how the dings have changed. at my first night in london in many years I was happy to find her me sushi a short walk from my hotel. I was dressed by the various poke dishes on the menu, but her sashimi looked even better and spent a few weeks in hawaii, I decided for the sashimi. it was totally keto friendly and delicious! I was suspicious because it was packed and was ready to go, but I ate. the maguro and lieb (salmon) was first quality and a well dimensioned part. there was only enough salat with seaweed and soy/caster/adventure to make a perfect and efficient evening meal. I will return during my 10-day stay. the personal was friendly and attentive. I spent as much as $300 per head at the likes of Kabuto-edomae sushi in las vegas and orlando, you me sushi was a really pleasant experience, cost effective and would also be a fantastic take away. but wait. there is more! her miso soup was first class!"
" fresh fish). However, the last couple of times we ordered, the quality had decreased significantly. The salmon sashimi was not fresh and the rice in the sushi rolls was mushy. The delivery was also late. Overall, we were disappointed with the decline in quality and will be looking for a new sushi restaurant for our office lunches."

"I cannot recommend this place enough. Me and my fiancé actually came here on our 1st date, so of course 1yr later we had to return as we loved it so much. If you want top quality but affordable sushi this is the place to go to. Our bill came upto nearly £100 this included drinks as well. Really cute and chilled place, the staff are helpful and friendly. You don't have to wait long for the food. I would say though that the tables are not big enough to fit multiple things on there once you have your drinks there, condiments and 2 plates its already tight. So we only ordered 2 dishes at a time and took breaks. If you like to eat alot like we do then save it for a special occasion as £100 isn't just a normal day expenses, but if you are a 2,3 plates kind of person it is a lovely place to go for a meal. An example of costing we ordered a pink lady (8pcs) £12.95 for top quality sushi that is value for money. Can't wait to go next year for our 2 year anniversary!"

"this was the first restaurant that I found when using happy cow to eat, so it should be my first to also be checked! I was drawn to come here through their fascinating vegan options, especially the banana-blood “fish” and chips. it also had a very large selection of beautiful looking eating for my omni woman to choose. the pub itself, when large, but secretly with beautiful decor. we had arrived to arrive immediately and our food did not take too long to arrive once ordered. I ordered a dietary coke and the banane blossom “fish” and chips. When my teller arrived, I was taken back by the fact that the vegan tartar sauce was served in an oyster dish. I hoped it was thoroughly cleaned, but it is also not very sensitive to a vegan mindset. the food itself was charming, but the teig was crazy good and my first time that the bananese blossom impressed me very much! I finished eating all the teller and was very full! when the bill came to my shock I saw that we were calculated for the dietary pepsi (a famous non vegan drink) instead of diet cakes. the restaurant did not tell us that they had this on hahn in the opposite to koks, so without my knowledge or my mood they served me a non vegan drink. I was pretty upset and just wanted to get out, so she didn't know what happened, though I probably would have. I think that both the as well as the entire serviers sauce in an oyster shell shows that some places are ready to provide for vegan (for inclusiveness or profit), but must make sure that they understand every aspekt that goes into it. so I recommend her banan blossom ‘fish’, but be careful was drinks they order there."

"Excellent food but a curious staff attitude. Reserved a table on “Open Table” and arrived to a cold lifeless reception. The restaurant was not full but we were shown to an awkward table between the main traffic flow and a table of six guys in dirty work attire, thanks but no thanks we will have that nice romantic big table over there… much better! Do staff not think what does the customer want? Who wants to sit there? Good food well presented and tasty. Decent wine list. All hand sanitisers were empty and dirty. The toilets need a damn good cleaning. The whole place needs a revamp, poor lighting, no background music and it feels like a school dining room with pictures. We would return but only if no where else was available, previous reviews are much too generous in their comments and lack any critical review. We rated it 5/10, could do much better and be much happier."
