Reviews
Have been here twice now. Both times it is to attend other people's birthday celebrations. The lunch time visit was lacklustre as hardly anyone was there and so it lacked atmosphere. The set menu was £18. The starters turn up so quickly you wonder how long the food has been sitting there. The chef then cooks the other carefully measured portions in front of you. Entertainment is watching people try to toss an egg into a chef hat.
We visited again last week in the evening. It was fully booked and so there was more atmosphere. However it is so expensive. Again the starters arrived so quickly. Trying to get the chicken off the wooden skewers is hard and because the skewers are burnt, you end up eating half of them. The scallop shell has slivers of fish in it with a mayonnaise type sauce. There are 3 king prawns each. Small amount of chicken teriyaki and steak and a bowl of rice and bean sprouts. This wouldn't be too bad if you had the evening to sit and enjoy it but it is all done and dusted in 1 hour. They hover around to get you out and to be honest you might as well leave as there's nothing else doing. The entertainment is exactly the same and it's all a bit corny. It's very hard to be negative when someone else loves it but I think it's appalling to pay £35 to virtually have food shoved down your throat. It's either that or eat it stone cold with them asking every 2 minutes if you're finished.
It was also very cold sitting by the door on the first table on the right.
Give it a miss!
AVisit here is as much entertainment as it is food. Thr food is cooked on a hot plate upfront of you and it is quite entertaining watching the chefs at work. You can be involved if you want and the chef during the coirse of the meal will have someone up to flip an egg I'm the air and catch it in the chef's hat or if you ate adventurous anough will launch a bit of egg at you from the hotplate for you to catch in your mouth. I've yet to see anyone not enjoy themselves here. The food is nice and by the end I always feel full, so not one of those places you go home starving. The atmosphere is brilliant and the staff very attentive unlike some places where they avoid your eye.
To be honest I can't fault the place but it isn't exactly cheap with meals from £36 to £56 per person.
One of the best places I’ve ever been, you can book for your special celebration like birthday, I did and I was amazing. Lots of fun you can do as well
Amazing food and great service. Exceptional atmosphere and even my brother cracked an egg.
Always a great meal here and great entertainment too !
Had family up from London to celebrate an early Christmas . The chefs that cook and serve the food are real characters, from flipping eggs from the hot cook plate into their chef hats, then getting you to try.....ha ha. Or getting you to catch food in your mouth...Haa.
I succeeded in none of these.
But the food is delicious and the menu is extensive. There is also a wide range of drinks. If you want to enjoy a meal with a difference this is the place.
BUT YOU MUST BOOK.
Great food, excellent service. Only knocked one star off because we had no idea there were so many stairs to deal with so accessibility wasn't great. Otherwise a really good night
Great tasty food and very entertaining with chefs cooking food in front of you. If you want microwave mcgeap, head to spoons
