Yauatcha (15 Broadwick Street, London, London, W1F 0DL)

Very good food, energetic atmosphere – what one would expect from a top restaurant.

Now come on… how can you eat with the staff / waiters ass right near your food on the table as they serve other diners on the tables next to yours..and then when your next door neighbours want to leave their table a few times either for a smoke or wc use. Its absolutely off putting and believe me, however sexy a ass maybe (keep in mind – if you are a guy then forget it – no more food, no more service, get out – even if you a lady, the waiters are not pretty as the food! one definitely loses their apetite)

Its very disappointing that such a top restaurant crams in diners like passengers travelling in economy class. You have no space to do anything on the table, the furniture needs to improve and start thinking that diners must be seated comfortably.

The waiters are helpful, but they do not stop you from ordering enough food for 5 people when its only you and another eating… then after spending hundreds of pounds, you are told that you cant even take the food home. Sorry we have just paid for the food, which you said 2 people can eat, infact about 5 diners could have eaten now we cant even take it home?!?!?!? We seriously insisted that “please” may we take this food home as its so much and we have not touched it. Eventually wrapped in clingfilm we got our paid food but no bag. ON leaving I asked the lady for a bag who kindly provided a bag for the food.

I love eating quality creatively prepared “tasty” food, it is the most important factor… price does not come in to it, when everything is flawless and deserved… you leave feelin “high” – but when its not, you end up coming home to your pc and writing a review…

Yauatcha – PLEASE do not cram diners into economy seating… all diners pay for good food service and COMFORT. Be generous and provide leg room and get those bad ass's away from the food!

Thank you in advance… though I guess it will never change and people continue to go back for… More

Kai (65 South Audley Street, London, W1K 2QU)

OK – after having eaten in most chinese top end restaurants in London. The anticipation of experiencing Kai after a hard week and feeling rather tired… our friend, my wife and I were looking forward to it… especially after the night when the restaurant was on Ramsay's best restaurants… if anyone saw it… then the restaurant in Blackburn won.

I can totally understand why…

Lets forget the price… lets focus on the food and service.

Food – very good. But michelin standard no way
Drink – wine list pretty good. cocktails very average (did not ask for another)
Service – how many times do we need to be asked by the nice ladies at the front. 3 times asking for my name and and whether or not I made a reservation – ok one can live with that… but wait for it…

Food being taken from the table while we were in deep conversation – I kept chopsticks open as well as my cutlery apart (should be a sign I have not finished my meal) – low and behold – it gone! I called the waitress quietly and asked please can you bring some rice as I have not finished eating. She brings back my original bowl from the kitchen and then shows it to me and I ask politely, please can you bring me another fresh portion so I can finish the dishes on the table… she then serves and scraps the bowl of rice onto my plate (of which is cold and I did not ask her to do that – it was only about ten-15 individual rice pieces – absolutely pointless… Now my point is – you expect michelin service at a michelin star restaurant. You also expect if a dish is taken from the table back to the kitchen a fresh one should come back especially when you ask for it. I'm no snob but hey when one pays over 100 pounds per person I want fresh food and served in a top 100 pound way.

OK – overall experience – BLAND – no atmosphere, the experience was depressing though the food kept us alive.

If you really wants to spends lots of money on chinese – take 50 of your friends out to your local or even into soho or Royal China restaurant and you… More
