Minoa is a striking pan-Asian fine-dining destination located within the spacious City Pavilion complex in Romford, Essex. Dishes at Minoa are inspired by China, Japan, Thailand and beyond
The décor is bold and contemporary with Mediterranean flair, creating a vibrant atmosphere that blends influences from ancient Greece, most notably through a labyrinthine maze ceiling motif, with striking gold, deep-blue tones and textured finishes. The interior flows from a stylish bar area to a substantial dining room, and the venue can accommodate up to 300 diners, with a private room seating 20, making it ideal for special events. Smart-casual dress is encouraged, and guests under 16 are welcome until early evening, making it suitable for both family meals and adult occasions.
An à-la-carte menu offers a wide variety: dim sum and bao such as prawn har gao, char-sui chicken bao and vegan dumplings; sushi and sashimi; small plates of Thai calamari, Chong Qing chicken and honey-chilli lotus stem; grilled specials like miso black cod, lamb chops and tiger prawns; as well as rich curries, stir-fries, fried rice and pad Thai. They also have desserts like sticky toffee pudding, vegan chocolate fondant and mango cheesecake. The drinks offering is widely varied, including spirits, cocktails, mocktails, wine and soft drinks.
