GB Cafe Oriental Diner & Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Nottingham

Absolutely love this place, one of mine, my partner’s and my friend’s favourite places in Nottingham and we are constantly bringing new friends in. The owner and staff are so lovely and bend over backwards for you (understandably less so when it is busy on a Friday and Saturday) and are even dog friendly which we didn’t expect, and always give our dog a treat when we come in!

The atmosphere and decor are quite no frills but in the best possible way, very family ran diner style. It reminds me a bit of Midnight Diner or local Japanese eateries. Cutlery trays of chopsticks, forks and knives, napkins and condiments on each table and water dispensers by the counter etc.

The food is absolutely outstanding, some of the most authentic Asian food in Nottingham. The owners are Malaysian so their Malaysian food is soooo good and pretty hard to find in the UK! Their sushi is also very good, comparable to other more expensive Japanese restaurants. My friends and I have been working our way through the menu, there’s not much we haven’t tried now! As well as authentic Chinese, Malaysian and other Asian food, they also have an entire separate menu of British Chinese food like sweet and sour tofu, beef in black bean sauce etc. They took over from the previous greasy spoon cafe and kept the name, as well as the English cafe style food like omelette, full English breakfast etc. I’ve never tried this stuff, give me the sushi, rendang curry and steamed fish!!! Some of our favourite dishes are the sushi platters, braised aubergine in chilli and garlic sauce, white fish in pickled Chinese greens soup (way tastier than the description!), mapo tofu, beef rendang, oyster furai, spicy beef ramen and seafood laksa! My friend’s eyes literally rolled into his head when he first tried the seafood laksa!

Highly recommend to anyone, in a selfish way, I hope it doesn’t “go viral” and become way too busy! Wish I could review more than once because we’ve been so often and will continue to support a small...

Many friends recommended the excellent Malaysian and Asian cuisine here, so I came specially to try it out.

The first time we came, initially, I wanted to order Hainanese chicken rice, but unfortunately, it was sold out due to its popularity. In the end, I ordered a bowl of seafood laksa soup with ho fan and seafood tom yum soup with rice noodle. The result was pleasantly surprising as the seafood portion was generous, and the large prawns were delicious and large. The laksa soup had an outstanding flavor.

The quality of the food was satisfying and reminiscent of the taste I had in Malaysia, leaving a lasting impression.

The restaurant's interior decoration was simple and lacked Malaysian characteristics, but it was still clean and tidy.

We come here secone time today, we tried Hainanese chicken rice, roasted duck soup noodles, Sushi planet and Braised beef brisket rice. All the food was fantastic, with generous portions that left us feeling satisfied. The service today was excellent and worth...

I am in love! My favourite dishes all in one place! Traditional English breakfast fry-up, cantonese dishes and sushi! I’m British Born Chinese and the atmosphere in this place and service felt like I was in a HK cafe. I stumbled across this place yesterday when finishing a gym session after work and thought I’d try somewhere new for dinner. I felt very welcomed not dressed smart and wanting some comfort food as a reward after a long day! We had XO seafood hor fun, beef curry brisket, green dragon sushi roll plus other extras. All delicious and flavoursome in their own right. Pure ‘Ratatouille moment’ if you’ve ever watched the Disney Pixar film when I had the dishes and was also given complimentary fruit at the end of the meal (typical for Chinese customer service). This place did not disappoint for an impromptu dinner out and will be back for more to try the fry-up. Excited to be a regular and highly recommend! Thank you for the amazing service and food Ivy, Lyn (sorry if spelt wrong) and...
