Coco Tang Oriental Cafe in Nottingham

Delicious food, excellent coffee, eclectic decor and all around charming. Their menu has changed some but still holds up!

The service was great! I’m not a huge coffee person so i chose the honeycomb coffee and it was one of the best i’ve had! I’d also recommend the ube cheesecake ;). I’ve been here multiple times and they are very consistent both with the amazing service they provide and the tasty food!!

Just a stunning place and fantastic food

Best independent Vietnamese Restaurant I’ve had in Nottingham The food is so wholesome and delicious and absolutely fantastic value for money! The staff are the sweetest people and the service for Dine in was amazing. Speedy tasty and healthy. Kully

We had the mixed pho bo and spring rolls+fried beef rice noodles. The pho was too small, and the soup base is a bit too salty and full of MSG. As for the rice noodles, the spring roll is again too salty, and the sauces used in the noodles doesn’t have the sour taste I’m expecting it to have, making the dish much less fresher than I would’ve imagined. Overall not much value for money. Wanted to try the Thai milk tea, but it was sold out on the day.

Amazing service as always, the food was spot on.. one of my favourite restaurants in Nottingham. Always a friendly atmosphere and food never dissapoints Highly recommend cocotang

Order a Pho and Spring Rolls. The Pho noodle was hard, feels raw and cheap. The noodle soup is salty and felt like MSG. The overall size of the Pho is small, completely not worth the money. Spring rolls were deep fried well, but the seasoning is way off, too salty. I end up completing the whole bottle of tap water and asked for more.

The best Pho boy this side of Hanoi, service is great atmosphere is Phonominal, a must visit, and make sure you have the Pho

Great experience, superb food, good value for money..we will be back x

Good food and drinks, a little on the expensive side but good food nevertheless

We had come across this place while looking at places to eat on tiktoc. Absoloutly over the moon we went. We visited in the day and had coffee and cakes, Beautiful. We decided to go again in the evening for food and I'm so glad we did. Atmosphere was fantastic and the food was stunning. Can't wait to make our annual trip to Nottingham so we can revisit this wonderful quirky resturant.

Matcha latte with coconut milk - best one I have had !!! I’m addicted.

Went for lunch with friends and had a few of the starters and desserts. Good food, quick service, lovely decor and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Just wow, a must visit, visited two times in last three months and both times the food was impeccable,

I used to really like eating here. The food was tasty and staff super efficient. I particularly appreciated the effort the young woman, front of house, went to ensure I had slice of pandan cake but after going back and two other occasions, things changed. My favourite dish, bbq pork ribs, became a side dish at more or less the same price. On the first of the above occasions, the ribs were so burnt that they had to be sent back and on the second, they were not tender. Sadly, CCT is no longer one of my favourite places to eat.

Love this place. Fantastic food and service as always. Sat in the atrium on a lovely sunny evening, it was excellent

Loved the squid with pork stuffing.

Nice atmosphere, lots of greenery and food tastes great. will certainly go again!

Unique multi level restaurant, cafe and bar. If the weather is nice try to sit upstairs in the courtyard. Great selection of cocktails as well as a fantastic food menu.

Excellent Vietnamese food in a really atmospheric setting. Food was authentic and generous and the staff welcoming and attentive. Very good value

Very nice food and friendly staff

I used to love Coco Tang until they have treated me awfully during the lockdown. When restaurants were allowed to open, I did not have to wear the mask due to my medical condition (being exempt). I was a key worker myself and was looking forward to having a meal in one of my favourite restaurants, when the waiter started questioning me about my health condition and asking me to show him the proof I did not need a mask. They have made me feel absolutely awful and I ended up leaving in tears. I messaged them to make a complaint a few times and was being ignored without anyone acknowledging the impact their behaviour/treatment had upon me. Would love to return, but as they have absolutely ignored me and my complaint, I will not be going back…

Wow, this place is great! Visited with my friend for a quick bite and can't wait to go back - the food envy seeing all the food for the other tables! We ordered drinks a starter each and a cake - the menu is clear and really interesting dishes to try. Look, this place is a bit pricer but definitely worth it and very authentic. Be aware they do add 10% service charge straight to your bill but the service is very good so I'm not complaining.

Not been here for a few years but it’s still as good as ever! We sat outside upstairs where you can see them cooking. I never knew the outside space was there! Food/service all good. Will hopefully be back more now I know it’s dog friendly!

Excellent food, great service. The place is a little small with limited seating.

Fantastic food and awesome cocktails

Incredible food. Good venue. Ok service. Horrendous prices (compared with the same level of quality in Notts).

Peach black tea was good but not worth the price (£6) and they put too much ice in the glass.

I have been to Coco Tang twice in the past month now, it is such a beautiful place. I love the garden area upstairs + the indoor space next to it with that window looking out onto the garden. The cocktails are unique, they taste refreshing. I got the bamboo basket sharer both times I came, it was so tasty and the vegetarian spring rolls are addictive!! I have never tasted spring rolls quite like them, I don’t eat them unless they’re from Coco Tang. Most of the staff are friendly, there was just one female who works there that has a bad attitude but I didn’t catch her name. The last time I came, it was a gentleman who saw to us and he was so nice! Would come back again, my advice for room for improvement is to make sure some brush up on their customer service skills! One lets the others down. ☺️

This place looks great and has fantastic cakes and patisserie. The drinks are nice if a bit sweet. The coffee is very good. Food from the menu is disappointing and lacking in any real flavour, although well presented. Everything is very stylish.

Called in with a friend 7/7/24 on spur of the moment and so glad we did: Soft shell crabs were excellent with a flavoursome batter, Seared beef and mango salad was vibrant, fresh and full of contrasting flavours Sticky pork ribs were probably some of the best short ribs in Nottingham fell of the bone and juicy yet delightful Portion sizes were plentiful With a couple of tasty cocktails thrown in, well worth the £64 definitely worth visiting and we will be back. Seating area at back is lovely to sit in and watch the kitchen. Service charge added to billl but waitress was thoughtful enough to explain it was there but optional; Bonus points for that!

Atmosphere was a bit noisy which made conversation across the table difficult. However explaining to a staff member that I would find sitting on a stool impossible she went out of her way to get me a chair with a back. Also asked the waiter about about allergies and went to make sure my cocktail choice was ok for me

Good place for a dinner. Food is delicious and service is good. Prices are okay.

I have to say, my friend and I just wanted to get away from the hum drum of daily life...cooking, cleaning, supporting the family. We stopped here. I can say...it felt like I was on holiday. The sun was shining, the food was amazing and the cocktails took me to another level. I will be back - probably for a special occasion, to ensure it stays as special as I felt it was. The best.

Lovely place,really nice decor,cool bar. Good atmosphere. Great cocktails. We had the ginger and lemongrass chicken which was delicious but needed a little bit more sauce to have with the rice. Soft shell crab was perfect, Asian style salad fresh and tasty! My son had pork ribs,said they were really good.

Great service and well made tasty food

The food is not fresh enough and the menu is not very selective

Delicious food and great ambience as always!

One of my favourite places i’ve ever been to eat. It has a lovely atmosphere and some great food, everything is so well thought out down to the tiny menus

The food is very nice and some of it is really authentic. The venue itself is really nicely done out and really feels like you could be in Hanoi. The terrace is really nice to in. We had spring rolls, tofu in tomato sauce and pineapple rice, all delicious.

A great place for food and drinks. Comfortable and fun

I was served by Sam she was so friendly and gave us such nice recommendations will be back to try desserts soon! 🙂

Disappointed with our visit here as had high expectations. The food and drinks look good but unfortunately we’re generally quite bland, very average tasting L, at best and overpriced. My beef broth was extremely bland and for some reason the lime wedges and bean shoots were served separately. I guess this maybe adds a little interest to the look but the beef tasted as though it had been boiled in plain water and the broth, while advertised as having been stewed for multiple hours, was a major disappointment, more like a stock cube for 5 minutes. The stuffed squid was a bit more flavoursome but not that special and the veggie rice vermicelli hardly had any veg at first though this was rectified after some reluctance. Initially we were give an outside table in direct sun and although there were awnings above, the staff said they couldn’t draw them as it may upset other customers. So why they were here, if not to shade the sun, I don’t know. While I understand this is a trendy themed restaurant and why people may like to come here, you’d expect to at least have a decent seat to sit on instead of a stool or if you’re lucky, a bench with small cushioned back rest. Annoyingly the main courses arrived before the starters too, the. 2 minutes later all the mains arrived, so very cramped on the small table we had. Overall, I personally think if you eat out to enjoy great food, then this ISN’T the place for you. If you like somewhere that’s a bit trendy and not too fussed how the food tastes or what you pay for it then you may enjoy it here.

We spent a pleasant hour drinking coffee and sharing a purple ice-cream. I have spent ten years searching for sweet potato ice-cream in the UK, and tonight I found the best version of it in the UK. Chilling out with a friend, enjoying the evening air, and excellent coffee, this is Coco Tang, best Nottingham has to offer.

The food was delicious and the service was 10/10. The environment and decor are very nice, the upstairs terrace is a perfect place on hot days. Wish they had more vegan options, upon checking the allergen info, the vegetarian dishes could be easily veganised! Such a shame. In terms of portions, they were not so generous for the price. But it was a good experience.

Delicious food! The squid, the tofu and spring roll noodle bowl, the vegetable vermicelli (amazing!!), the morning glory (amazing as well), and the apple mint and cucumber drink was tasty too.

Lovely food as always, great atmosphere

Delicious food, short wait even if it was full, kind staff, beautiful atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit and I'll make sure it's not my last one. I had the lemongrass chicken on rice and it was utterly delicious, sweet and the barbecue taste was amazing. My husband had mixed meat pho, delicious as well, maybe a tiny bit too delicate (but honestly, sometimes you need something more delicate and it's good to have the option)

Hello to all who read and write reviews. Two words about this Vietnamese Restaurant. The food is very tasty. There are also great desserts. The staff is extremely kind. The service is very good.

What an amazing place! Relaxed atmosphere, amazing food! There's a beautiful bar below!

Came here for lunch on my birthday and it was amazing! Been before for drinks but the food was much better than I was expecting 😁

Beautiful outdoor seating area, exquisite drinks and delicious cakes. (I recommend the ube and banana milkshake!!! <3)

Great afternoon of drinking cocktails. The cocktails were lovely and great service at the tablet too.

Great cocktails loved the BBQ Chicken and Rice !

Loved their ice coffee. Food was really nice too.

Great place with great range of food and drinks. We visited for coffee while shopping in the City and unbelievable whe you come inside and see the decor and layout. Well worth a visit

Lovely place; excellent food; good service; fabulous decor. Lots of space, is gorgeous. relaxed with a cool vibe, the staff are really sweet. Drinks are expensive- but they are really good. Lovely pots of tea.

One of my favourite meals in Nottingham. Really enjoyed many visits! Great food, great cocktails and great atmosphere! Very much recommended if you like Vietnamese food, cake and coffee!

It's small plates but the food is rich, you don't need as much as you think! It's a must go for the Nottingham food scene.

Had an amazing lunch last week! All the food is so tasty and I love the Vietnam coffee so much!

My family and I are huge fans of Coco Tang for their delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine. My personal favorites include the bún bò trộn nam bộ, which I love to pair with their Vietnamese drip coffee. Additionally, I enjoy their spicy fried chicken wings and the S&P squid. Their desserts are amazing as well, and we particularly love their matcha and white cacao cheesecake.

Great spot! Lovely arty decor with a rustic feel. Excellent food at reasonable price. Great value. Service was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Will definitely visit again when in Notts!

A real experience, well worth the visit, great service, lovely downstairs bar and the food was amazing

Really excellent quality food - I had a mango salad and salt and pepper squid - perfect. A short menu, and it was a busy peak time and I had a short wait to be seated. Not the cheapest, but no automatic service charge. A great place for a treat.

Love the HK style, and foods are great

Absolutely incredible food, attentive staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Best Asian food I’ve had in years. 10/10 I fully recommend the bamboo sharer

Very good Vietnamese restaurant!

Lovely restaurant in the middle of the city, the portion a bit small

This place is a hidden gem. Been a few times but this weekend me and my partner went for some food and it was some of the best I've eaten in a long time. We had the sharing box, and would highly recommend. Amazing service, 5 star food and great vibes.

Stumbled upon this place while visiting Nottingham and found it lovely. Great authentic flavours.

Went for a friend's birthday meal, but was amazed by the food so I decided to take my partner there who is vegan and she loved it too. Although only few options for vegans it she said it tasted great and would go again.

We ordered so many items from their menu to have a feast and not one item was 9/10 - every single thing was 10/10. The clams were 11/10 by the way. And the ribs on the meat platter were 12/10 😅 The coffee is great and the drinks menu really interesting too. Combine amazing food and drink together with a really cool location, and you’ve got one of my favourite restaurants!

The cafe has a cosy feel to it. The staff was really good and guided me through my choice of food with gluten-free options. However, I found that the options for vegetarian Gluten Free food was very limited. But I had a great time.

Great place for brunch. Usually crowded, great selection of food and drinks

Food was really delicious! Portions were ample Absolutely love the decor

I love this place. If I'm at a loss of where to go for food, this will always be there. The menu is small and might not look like much but everything is delicious and great quality. The cocktails are also amazing and the service is great too. I would always recommend this place to people.

Fantastic gem of a place, food, cakes and service was superb

Fantastic service - made very welcome at 8.45pm without a reservation. Bamboo sharing platter high quality and delicious. Excellent cocktail menu

Really cute venue with a nice atmosphere. The food and cocktails were amazing, and everything was super fresh and flavourful. The main menu isn’t very big but it’s good and the drinks they serve are unique. We were sat close to the bar and I loved watching them make the drinks in front of us. The staff is also very nice. Absolutely nothing to complain about and can’t wait to come back.

Gorgeous service, very quick and helpful staff, fantastic light and filling and tasty food and some of the best drinks I’ve had recommend thoroughly. Always a pleasure to be here

Fantastic dining experience. Great range of tasty Vietnamese food, with safer options for those not too familiar with the cuisine. As always, super fast service and the food comes out really quickly.

Honestly was so weird tbh i mean the building is a bit odd in itself but the woman came over to my girlfriend and started going on about God and how she was a messenger and that God loved her etc IDK but the woman paid for half our bill so that's nice I guess go Jesus lol thanks lady can you cover half my mortgage too???

Having toured Vietnam and having read the great reviews we were very excited to try a proper non-chain Vietnamese restaurant. Whilst the food was tasty I'm afraid it was a little underwhelming and did seem to have been toned down/westernised which was a shame. Add to that the thumping disco/dance music at lunchtime I'm afraid it's not for us. Staff and service were great and as an introduction to what is a really exciting cuisine and for its ethical ethos, its a good start.

it’s a very nice experience here. I was alone just ordering a italian hot chocolate which is amazing, and decided to order another Orange chocolate cake but end up didn’t like it (not a huge fan of fruity chocolate so it was more on me) but the lady manager was very kind and offered me to switch if i didn’t like it. I didn’t change it but still think it’s a very kind offer. Hot Italian hot chocolate and ube soufflé is highly recommended since it’s been my long time favorite.

Very patient staff and friendly service. Food is great, we loved every dish we tried. You certainly need to save space for coffee and dessert!

Had a good hearty meal in cold January. The atmosphere was welcoming and food was what I expected. Food, service and atmosphere all ticked ✅

I’ve had this place saved on my Want to go list for quite a while. Finally visited! Love the atmosphere! Their coffee was Coffee!

Fast, delicious and honest food. Thit Kho was the main highlight for me. Only on the menu as a special at the moment but hopefully will be added to the menu?

I absolutely love coco tang, one of my new favourite places to eat and drink in Nottingham at lunch. The food is always fresh, tasty and generally amazing!!

Loved the place so much that we came here twice in one day! Firstly we popped in for a coffee and cake - amazing selection of coffee based drinks and very cute cakes. Later in the day we returned for dinner - the food was delicious, freshly prepared and full of flavour. The service was friendly and efficient. 5/5

The food was seriously good – not a huge menu, but everything hit the spot. Loved the fun drink options, added to the experience. Perfect spot for my mum's birthday. The decor was also really nice too!

I absolutely love this spot. Great food. Amazing decor. Lovely staff. And a great cause.

Always love this place, great atmosphere but bit on the spenny side

Very tasty food, good service and a great atmosphere. We shared a bamboo basket with BBQ ribs, chicken wings, lemongrass chicken skewers, pancakes, spring rolls, tofu cubes and sauces. Would definitely recommend!

Good place. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and there is a lot of selection for coffee and hot chocolates. Desserts are delicious too.

Meal out with mother in law. My wife and I were out for a bit of shopping with her mother. ( in her 80's mobility issues) dropped onto a table ( lucky as they were busy for a Sunday afternoon) service was good but the food was fantastic. We had the sharing platter and the soft shell crabs . Food was tasty and enjoyable. Dips enhanced the already vibrant flavours. And just enough for a Sunday lunch. Highly recommended

Very tasty food, decent size portions. Good selection of delicious cocktails. Interesting interior and nice service.

Very cosy little place to eat. Good selection of Vietnamese food.

Great casual place to eat. If you're going there as a couple, I recommend the bamboo sharing box, just the right amount of food for two and it was delicious. I'd also recommend timing your visit - there can be queues for walk in tables (unsure if they do bookings as we walked in) at busy times but the queue did seem to move quickly. The desserts are also delicious! If you choose the coffee cake, beware that the size of the portion is huge!

Coffee in a porcelain cup is really nice and tasted so fresh thank you
