Infusion 2018 — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Where to begin, I've wanted to try this restaurant for so long and did yesterday and im just gutted i havent been sooner. The food is so authentic, its like a little slice of China in Newcastle. The staff were very friendly and welcomed us straight away, it was busy so the lovely woman cleaned the table of the group that had just left, for us. I can see a couple of bad reviews by English customers but don't be deterred, I put this down to poor palettes or just pure ignorance. You won't get your bog standard Chinese takeaway type food here, so if that's what you want, go to China Town! This is the real I am, authentic Chinese food packed full of flavour, an array of different dishes with some exotic ingredients like chickens feet, tripe and frogs legs. You can hear the busy kitchen as they knock out dish after dish. I find it very comforting when the clientele is native of the cuisine, it just goes to show its home from home in my opinion. I will be returning to get my fix! Give it a try, it will...

It’s one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Newcastle. Their dishes are mostly northern home dishes, a bit oily and saucy but very tasty. You can find various options on their menus, no matter you are a vegan, vegetarian, gluten free eater, you c an always find some perfect dishes for yourself. However, their portion is big, but not every dish is good quality. Some of them tend to be too blend or too salty, sometimes the meat is too chewy. Once you find which ones are their the most Chinese dishes, then just stick to it. They can serve fast but not with a very friendly attitude. The other good thing about this place is it’s totally family friendly, because they have big tables which can sit around 6-10 people I think. Overall, it’s...

The worst food I’ve ever tasted.

We went here for restaurant week and were so disappointed by the dishes. The hot and sour soup literally smelt of manure/ cattle, I couldn’t believe it.

We had MaPo Tofu for main and thought you can’t get a veggie dish wrong, right? We were wrong. The sauce tasted so bad I can’t even describe the flavour. The waitress asked at the end if we wanted to the main boxed and were honest and said we didn’t like it and she got us the bill without caring at all.

The noodles were also hard and not cooked.

The only thing that was fine was the salt and chilli chicken, it was edible but after that soup I hope my stomach holds out for the rest of the evening...
