Cafe 55 in Birmingham

Great food, good prices, lovely staff!

The best cofe place in Brum I recommend you go there. So kind people and great Staff Promise I’ll be here weakly Great vibes

This was a new place for us, we were impressed by the quality and temperature of the food and the speed of service. we will definitely use them again

The food is not cheap or expensive and the portions are decent-size. Some of the food taste is not consistent because I ordered the same food two different times and it was very good the first time but tasted bland the second time and my friends' food tasted very good. Maybe this one was an anomalies and regardless of that I will like to try more dishes from this cafe.

Bought a 4.00 bubble tea. Was not nice at all. Weak cordial..horrible bubbles. Partner ordered coffee. He said its cold. Wouldn't go again. Hi tea is the best for bubble tea

Food was excellent so tasty not greasy fresh ingredients

We just love this place. Tasty, and affordable.

Really good prices, but food comes out concerningly quickly which, although one should question its freshness, if you are looking for a quick and cheap eat with a pan Asian palate, cafe 55 is the place for you

Bad service and small proportion of food, not recommended. There are better restaurants nearby with more reasonable price.

The food was delicious as always.

Food was 20 minutes early and it was hot a fresh.

I enjoy the food from Cafe 55 but do find it expensive and with £4.50 delivery charge plus 50p service charge it isn’t a cheap meal. Usually though they send utensils and free crackers which goes some way to accept the high prices. However tonight I spent nearly £60 but am very disappointed that the usual extras weren’t included. I can understand the utensils as this must be a significant cost to the business if they do this with every order but no crackers?? Not a big ask and will make me re

Arrived super early. Well packaged, piping hot. AMAZING quality this is my new go to restaurant from now on! Even the cutlery was high end. Coloured plastic fork, knife & spoon plus chopsticks. Steamed Gyoza was perfect taste texture and flavour. Prawn toast beautiful too. Teriyaki beef with rice was well presented and huge!

Love the food..Very delicious and freshly made.

All the food we had was so tasty. Will definitely order from Cafe 55 again.

Terrible in every way, but let me focus on the food. The cheapest frozen ingredients that were poorly reheated in dirty oil. We paid £80 for food we barely consumed. I'm shocked non of us are ill as a result of what we did eat. We've visited before in the day for bubble tea and it seemed fine but last night was nothing short of disgusting food and terrible service. I'm shocked it has any positive reviews.

Absolutely terrible. Frozen food badly reheated. The worst dining experience I've had in a very long time. The high price for such low quality food was the biggest insult. Avoid.

Really lovely - fresh, tasty and authentic. It was my 12 year old’s birthday and he really wanted gyoza and noodles. Food was delicious and we both loved it. Will definitely order again, and highly recommend.

Though the delivery is late but the food is amazing😋

One of the best Spanish lattes I ve had ...try it !!

Perfect! Food was delicious thanks

Service was nice and the bubble tea is good. Food however was not up to scratch. My chicken seemed almost raw and my partners’ was overcooked and dry, the veg was unseasoned and tasted like boiled grass and there was very little sauce in the dish. Too expensive for the quality we revived. Boycotting!

Service was incredibly nice and environment was really good looking. Food was a letdown however, I thought it was just my own food so I tried my families too and it didn't really fit my or my families taste.

Food was tasty but all portions felt smaller than last time. Shrimp was chopped up as well (used to be whole) and only had 3 single free prawn crackers, which was disappointing as the order was well over £25. Wondering if it was a bad day at the office?

Although i lived in Selly Oak for 2 years it took me a long time to realise how nice this place is. The food is really tasty and the variety of different foods you can order is insane .The prices are not really high considering cost of living crisis and because this restaurant is located in a Student location they offer %10 student discount. Would definitely visit again.

Bought chicken katsu curry for my kid, as takeout, hardley any chicken, compared to other establishment. Have eat here before, which has been ok in the past, let down today

Amazing place,food is so good, great atmosphere and service Mark was the greatest, friendly, professional and dedicated

First time I’ve ordered from here and it will now be my regular. Fantastic food.

asked for a medium rare steak got a medium rare steak

The food was disgusting. Flavour awful, no meat on spare ribs. Chips were stale genuinely disappointed with whole meal. It landed up in the bin. Never agai

Too much seasoning, extremely salty food. Can't remember how many glasses of water I had to down afterwards. Attitude of staff was not brilliant either. You walk in and there is no one to serve you or show you a table. No air-conditioning, no fan, no open window and on a hot summer's day too, it was unbearable. Would not go again, would not recommend.

Great quality food, massive portions and some really delicious flavours. I did pay 60p extra for egg fried rice on one of the dishes but it was just boiled rice when it arrived, so not sure if egg fried is actually an option. Needed more curry sauce with the katsu meal, but it was delicious!

Very good, had to lookup the items on the menu as not described on just eat but food tasted good arrived in nice tubs

Amazing food for a decent price. I would really recommend

Food was lovely and delivery was quick

Ordered the crispy aromatic duck, very disappointed with the quality, quantity and presentation.

Fresh and tender pork ribs in the Bak Kut Teh Set. This place always provides quality food and is well worth the money. I've tried some of their beef, pork and chicken dishes and it's always fresh and never off tasting, I feel confident enough to try their seafood next. Highly recommended

Fresh chicken, not that weird off and eggy taste you usually get at take outs, the salad was a nice fresh contrast to the starchy rice. Would order again.

Beautiful, just as nice inside the restaurant as it was delivered. 5* really appreciated it.

Soooo tasty! I always order from here now. The food is gorgeous. The packaging is amazing! 5*

Excellent quality, polite staff!! Very rarely leave reviews but this Chinese is exceptional!! Found a new regular after much disappointment recently!

Ordered food from here, food arrived absolutely pristine with gorgeous presentation. I got the pan fried vegetable gyoza and the pmpkin katsu it was absolutely to die for. Love the wide variety of veggie options and portion sizes were generous. 10/10 would recommend and will be ordering from here again. 😊😊

stopped by for some bubble tea, it tasted great!! I love the vibes in this cozy cafe. the staff were also great - they told us about the student discount too, which I am very grateful for.

Love the beef brisket noodle soup, it's very light yet filling and revitalising. Feels like I've eaten something nourishing.

The Tawainese Beef Noodle Soup is amazing, the beef broth & thick noodles really make the dish! Only complaint is there's a lot of fat & gristle left in. The Tom Yum soup & Salt and Pepper Tofu is really good! I'd stay away from the Salt & Pepper Chips (tasted like socks) and the Curries since they have little sauce & lots of rice. The Miso Soup is quite bland & so is the tteobokki (plus small size for price, but it is a starter). The bubble tea is the cheapest on the street & fine (sweet, tapioca balls incl, not much flavour). The student discount makes the price worth it, would recommend.

Simply fantastic food, so delicious and an authentic taste of Japan. Thank you! Look forward to dining with you again whether in your restaurant or takeaway!

Such a pleasant restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Amazing boba tea and chicken teriyaki, Mark was so sweet ❤️

The flat rice noodle was over cooked and soggy. £8 for four of the tiniest wings in the world but taste so good is confusing. I think I’ll stick to my original order IF I order again. 😅

very good food, delivered hot and fresh

We went with our 9-year old son, and they had a good variety of kids options. Lucky us, the chef made the mistake of sending us the adult version, for the same prize. It was a very well crafted Salmon Yakisoba. We also enjoyed Miso Soup, Spring Rolls, a delicious Salt & Pepper Calamari, and Takoyaki. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and a tasty overall East culinary experience. Totally recommended!

Would never recommend this place even if desperate! They have very horrible and rude staff, the atmosphere is very awkward, unpleasant, tight space, disgusting and unhygienic toilets. They usually get orders wrong and if you say something they get abusive, aggressive and rude. There are many nicer places nearby, on the same road, for food and drinks that are chill, decent and worth your money

Very horrible staff, atmosphere is very awkward, unpleasant, tight space, disgusting unhygienic toilets. They would get your order wrong and if you send it back they get abusive, aggressive and rude. Would not recommend it. Many nicer places nearby for food and or drinks.

Outstanding! Highly recommend. Thank you. The delivery guy was so patient and decent.

We come here to dine, but it feel a bit little cold, & so we just decided to just do take away, got home portion wise was okey its just lacking of some of the flavours.

Food was ok but had stuff in which I specifically told them in the notes and over the phone not to put in when I asked for no onions and no garlic/spring onions. Flavour of the food wasn’t as good as the last time I ate in and it was exact same dish but completely different taste. Also food came abit mashed up and soggy

Takeaway is tiny portions. Not good value for money.

I love this place. I keep coming!! Food is amazing, wide variety, they have vegan and vegetarian versions of many dishes too, very tasty!

The place is amazing with a great atmosphere and top-notch service. Visited the place on a few occasions now, and every time, I am surprised at how good the food taste in there. My personal favourite is beef brisket ramen with sweet potato glass noodles. If you have a chance you should pay a visit and try it for yourself - a mix of magic and taste. The chef is a true magician and surely will be back for more.

Great food and portion size. Quick service also

Lovely food! Sweet & sour chicken is excellent! Definitely recommend! One of the nicest restaurant/ takeaways in Birmingham!

A wonderfully trained staff in a very friendly environment.

Good flavours. Well cooked. Hardly any dip with the prawn toast. Food cold. WOULD HAVE PREFERRED RICE SEPARATELY.

Food was very oily and greasy, won’t order here again

Really like the food from here, good portions, feel healthy, delivery is usually early

Good quality food at reasonable if maybe slightly high prices. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Some of the best bubble tea in Birmingham. You can customise the drink a sufficient amount and the price is relatively fair.

Been several times and have both dined in and had food delivered. Food is great and reasonably priced. The seats tables could use a renovation but overall it's a place I enjoy and recommend.

it's a bit pricy to be a regular order, but there is nothing like it. The spicy rice cakes are out of this world. Cafe 55 is my favourite place for a treat.

Tasty food. We shared our dishes & found ourselves quite full! The bubble tea was tasty & nicely presented in a cute mason jar. You must go up to order your food/drinks. It was quiet when we visited (late afternoon on a Sunday) but it would probably be busier on weeknights.

Great food, on time! Thank you!

Loved the vegan duck The best Pan Asian food in Birmingham

Excellent food. Great flavours and a nice variety of delicious dishes.

Very clean and aesthetic càfe, nice halal and vegetarian options! :)

Cafe 55 serves great bubble tea and has a wide array of options available!

The prices are really expensive! Used to be worth the little extra but feels like this is more profit oriented over quality. Even with a discount it’s no longer worth it, sadly

I live on a new estate & the restaurant called in advance to confirm my postcode & asked for directions when they were nearby. Thank you for being considerate enough to do that 🙏🏽

Cafe 55 is absolutely awesome! The food is always beautifully presented, they’re friendly and efficient and make my trips to Birmingham something I really look forward to. I love it and cannot recommend highly enough - give it a try, disappointment is impossible!

Lovely food great customer service, money well spent 👌

Amazing food, service and drink. All our different meals were delicious. We went for my son’s birthday and had a great time. We’ll definitely be returning.

The restaurant is clean and the ambience is good. Service is quick and food is delicious.

Just went there for their drinks, they were pretty good.

Having loved this place as a student at the University, I was so happy to be able to visit again during the Commonwealth Games. The food is delicious, staff lovely and the bubble tea is next level. Thank you!

Just stopped by to eat in. Food was great, service quick.

Considering this place has a good rating I was a little disappointed. My food was tepid, the satay chicken was tough and skewers strips were small considering the price. The ribs were nice although cold and my chicken rice bowl was okay but again the chicken was dry. It’s a shame as i wanted to try something.

Good food, portions a bit small than I expected due to price but tasted nice

I ordered a fried rice which was good but my wife was not too happy with her food. Service is fine and they gave me sauces and chilli oil. Service is also quite fast as I did not have to wait long.

Food was bangin So packed full of flavour best Beef brisket curry ever

Completely unprofessional Sent order at 9:40 for food to be delivered via deliveroo. Order was accepted and money was taken called 5 minutes later to be told, order could not be completed as they were "closed" and then they had the audacity to ask me to cancel it on my side which would mean I only got this back as credit. I have work in the morning and didn't have any food all day and now thanks to the pure laziness of thier staff I'm going hungry tonight Thanks café 55 you just lost a regular customer

the food was legit ready in less than 5 minutes!, and everything was so hot and fresh, the chicken was so juicy and the takoyaki was amazing!! Great service too :)

First time experiencing this place the food was outstanding very tasty and well cooked aswell as good portions, staff very friendly too

I had a meal here with some friends recently and I was literally speechless at how good the food was! I had the chef special fish in hot chilli oil and I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say it was the best fish dish I’ve ever had. The waitress was really nice too! Amazing experience.

Love the mocha here. Just a pity they didn't have the milk tea ready when we came .

Disappointed always buy from here but food did not taste nice. Roast meats tasted bad more fat than meat and very little portions.smelt kinda funky. Sweet and sour was dry and no sauce looked and strange. Very sad as this place was one of my favourite takeaways . Delivery was super-fast though

Portion is tiny for what we ordered more than £60. Meal for two people was just enough. Very expensive take away I would say.

The bubble tea is kinda gnarly from this place

My go-to cafe for coffee. I love it here and enjoy getting coffee every single morning. Great experience, with great workers that treat customers right. If I could give this cafe 6 Stars, I would do so in a heartbeat!

Fantastic food ., very fresh arrives nice and hot .. excellent portion size ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reported to food standards agency.

We ordered a light tea of 3 starters, 2 lots of crispy duck pancakes, 1 yuk sung. The food was cold on arrival (Deliveroo) and it was late. The pancakes were already made up (a first for us) and the yuk sung came with three tiny cut down lettuce leaves. Having said that, the food (once reheated) was actually delicious. Cafe 55, forget your fancy packaging and invest in keeping your food hot. Don’t skimp on basics like lettuce, spring onions and cucumber!! And change your delivery method. Overall ok, but I was eating yuk sung out of a pot.

Great food as always. Although would prefer if all the salad is all in one box, and the extra crackers in a separate box thanks
