Celebrated my 40th birthday here on Friday and had a brilliant time. The atmosphere was great, the staff were lovely and the food and was incredible. Sangria was also nice too! Plenty on the menu to choose from all good value for money, most meals around the £12 mark one I noticed at £22 and a feeling hungry, surf n turf at £35. As it was my 40th birthday I went for the surf n turf which I'm glad I did. As the food was placed Infront of me I remember saying wow! Just by the look and smell of the food I could tell it would be a special meal and it sure was. Each individual item on the plate had a tasty unique flavour. Normally I never get excited about fries but even these were unique with their crispiness and the tasty spices on them.
There is probably only about 3 meals I have eaten out before which have impressed me so much, that they have stuck in my mind forever, this meal will join these 3 now. The chefs obviously know what they are doing and care about it as everything was cooked to perfection, presentation was perfect and the food was...
Read moreI wanted to give all 5 * for this place. I've been here a lot and I love the food, but I want to point out a couple of things so that people know them and with them clearly out of the way can enjoy the undoubtedly excellent food here. First one is parking. Parking here is a bit crap, just bear in mind that there are few spaces unless you go to a nearby carpark. No big deal. Second is ambience. It's pretty bare bones here so just remember it's not the most comfortable. In my opinion also no big deal. Major thing I do want to point out are prices. £13 for a bao bun which, in my opinion if it's all you're eating you need two of, means 26 pounds for a couple of buns. With a bowl of ramen at £20 this makes this pretty expensive for the experience. I want to be fair though, and the food is great, we would probably get it a lot more regularly were it not...
Read moreVisited Bango with my Daughter who's an Asian food fiend. It's a lovely spacious restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. The food came quickly and was well presented. However, I had mixed feelings about the food. As someone who cooks and has eaten lots of Asian dishes from all around the world, I found two of the three dishes we had lacking on flavour. The Pork belly Bao was excellent In flavour but with a basic side salad and medium bun I would consider it overpriced. The chicken katsu mayo roll really had no flavour at all., almost bland. The Cornish brisket that topped the loaded fries was delicious, but had just been placed on top of what seemed like basic unseasoned oven fries. Overall we were both a little disappointed, but It wouldn't stop us from trying again, possibly trying the small plate dishes...
