I recently visited and tasted the Red Thai Curry with tofu, and let me tell you, the taste was absolutely amazing! From the moment I took my first bite, I was blown away by the explosion of flavors that danced on my palate.The tofu was cooked to perfection, with a delicate texture that absorbed the rich and creamy curry sauce. Each bite was a delightful combination of the tofu's subtle creaminess and the vibrant spices of the curry. The dish had just the right amount of heat, adding a tantalizing kick without overpowering the other flavors.The red Thai curry itself was a masterpiece. It was fragrant, with a perfect balance of aromatic herbs and spices. The flavors of lemongrass, ginger, and garlic blended seamlessly, creating a symphony of tastes that was both bold and harmonious. The creamy coconut milk added a luxurious richness, giving the curry a velvety smoothness that coated every bite.The dish was also accompanied by a medley of fresh vegetables, including bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas. These vegetables added a satisfying crunch and a burst of vibrant color to the curry, enhancing both its taste and presentation.Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the Red Thai Curry with tofu. The flavors were incredibly satisfying, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying Thai curry experience.

Absolutely delicious Bao Buns. Available on the fantastic lunch menu which includes a soft drink for only £7! Unbeatable value!

In response to your reply. To say we were greeted implies we were given a friendly welcome which is not the greeting we received, in a restaurant that was still wasn’t busy when we left. You’ve also not addressed us politely asking to speak to the manager. My issue doesn’t arise with either the food, mistake or the employee who was polite and addressed us at the end when we still didn’t get speaking to the manger. It is a representation of the overall experience that you provided, from ‘’greeting’’ us to telling us that the manager had said that we had to take the food and would still be charged for it, regardless if we took it or not (which only the server at the end said we wouldn’t have to pay for the dish), this experience is just further highlighted by your response to the review.Went to the restaurant at 12 today, was greeted with a dull welcome as if we were an inconvenience. The lady then seemed to struggle to find us a space to sit in the near empty restaurant. The food I ordered didn’t arrive until all my friends had finished their food (we had told the server who delivered the food initially that it was missing and were never informed if it was then coming or not). I told them I didn’t want the food at that stage as we were ready to leave and was informed that the manager said we needed to take the food and would be charged for it. We asked to speak to the manager 3 times and the manager never had the decency or respect to come over and speak to us. The food was good, but the service wasn’t pleasant.

Food was excellent particularly the tofu katsu curry, could go it again right now in fact. French fries far too salty. Reasonable priced with most dishes around £13. Drinks ordered were a bit of a let down as very slow to hit the table. Food was out the kitchen before drinks arrived. Server although attentive was eager to move us on so felt a bit rushed. Mojito was on point. Look forward to revisiting and scoring this place 5/5.

It had been a while since I’d been to Soba, and my last experience here hadn’t been amazing.However, I loved this visit. The food was tasty, the service was attentive, the atmosphere is good. The outdoor table meant the food got cold quite quickly…but also, we could have chosen to sit inside so that’s not on Soba!It can be quite pricey for the amount of food, but I don’t mind when it’s decent.

Recently visited Bar Soba with a group of work friends following a team building afternoon. The menu looked great which was welcomed given a number of people in party are VERY fussy eaters and particular about where they go.The food was stunning, freshly made and they tailored some dishes to our likes. Eg, no chilli, no prawns, etc etc.We loved it so much, 2 of us returned the following evening to eat again. Which was just as nice.I highly recommend the Singapore Noodles and Chicken Goyoza

We had a group boozy brunch. The deal is great especially with the 4 cocktails included in the price. The food was lovely and good portion size. Only issue was the service was a tad patchy and took a bit of time but the staff were courteous and lovely and when its cocktails service always takes a tad longer. It just felt like the bar could have had more staff to assist with table service as well as the bar .

Great lunch deal for £7 with soft drink included. The satay bao bun was amazing, the chicken was so tender and really lovely peanut butter flavour.

I ordered four to five dishes including the Singapore noodles. The kitchen and waiters had to be reminded that it came with an omlette, on an empty day with three tables in total. We had to ask the waiter for cutlery and when it came the spoon was dirty, when informed they gave us a new spoon and left the dirty one on the table. The waiters were more focused on having conversations within themselves than actually clear tables after customers left (over 30mins). Below average food, the one good dish were the fried gyozas everything else was disappointing. The waitress in question avoids every single table long enough to question the purpose of her presence. Easily one of the worst establishments i’ve ever visited. Truly avoid this place unless you’re drunk!
