Coconut Bar & Kitchen in Reading

Didn’t event have to attend the establishment. Extremely rude staff on phone both on booking and prior to arriving was enough to put me off going!

Been coming for years. Done birthdays, drinks, dinners. It's our go to. What's admirable is not just the fact that the kitchen has never disappointed and they've been consistent every single time. But the incredible speed and efficiency all teams show when the place is packed. They all work together and everything just gets done.

Service at the bar is always friendly and prompt. Mocktails are well made and affordable. Thanks for the complimentary peanuts!

Good price. Delicious in Fried soba yaki with various vegetables if chosen vegetable option for lunch menu

Found this gem when we were looking for somewhere to eat before a show at The Hexagon. We were very impressed with the speed at which the food came out, approximately 8-10mins from ordering, piping hot and of great quality. Made it to the show easily. Would definitely recommend.

Very tasty food and drinks ,absolutely amazing and polite staff

Great experience gets better every time my family goes their- great service,food,and staff.By the way Hanna ( who's one of the staff) your an absolute LEGEND literally you always smile whenever we require your service. Definitely coming again soon.

Lovely place with a superb atmosphere and friendly staff. I really enjoyed my time there. When I'll be back in Reading, this will be one of the spots I'll go first. Thank you 😊

Felt hurried, even though we ate, most of us, won't be visiting again, be careful they charge for everything no matter what you order on bring to the table, nothing is complimentary

Hanna was absolutely brilliant with my shellfish allergies and the food she suggested tasted fantastic. The team are really welcoming and the food is great

We had a lovely trip, the staff were attentive and the food came quickly. The food was super tasty and would definitely recommend

Just arrived from the states and wanted to grab a bite. Ordered the pornstar martini a house favorite and the pork belly bites. The waiter came with my drinks and a shot glass of Prosecco. But when he placed it on the table no explanation of what it was. Had to ask what was in the shot glass, which I thought was weird. The martini had passion fruit purée which added a nice flavor to the cocktail. The pork belly bites were sweet and spicy at the same time. Some of the pieces were a little thought. The succulent pieces were more pleasing. The service is slow even though not busy. Sat in the bar area so they have you pay immediately even though I said I would probably order another drink. It was happy hour so saved some money. Wanted to try the curry but I was no longer hungry after my app. May give it another try while visiting.

Lovely fragrant food, had pork and chicken for starters and green curry for main. All well presented, great flavours and portion sizes. Could be a little spicy for some though just to be warned! Fab atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful. I would return and highly recommend.

Had a bottomless brunch and Dinesh was amazing!

The cocktails here are amazing. The staff take the time to make your cocktails perfect. I didn't Try the food but it looked amazing. It can be hard to get a seat, but the service and vibe here is amazing

The choice of Asian food they have is the best. Today I had Sichuan pork belly for dinner. Never disappointing that’s why I’d love to come back here again and again. Thank you guys for hospitality and thank you Sujita for great service.

I ordered a Thai Green Curry which a few months ago was a well portioned dish, I worked from home so I ordered a King Prawn Green Curry and was given 4 prawns for nearly £30.00, months ago you had more prawns than you can eat, each time the number of prawns go down and absolute rip off moving to Thai Corner better portions

Used to be good, but changed and packed with shady men in evenings/nights. Just dangerous.

Not sure why I've never been here before, but we really enjoyed it. Amazing value late lunch and then took full advantage of cocktail happy hour as well. 4 cocktails each and many dishes including 2 mains and it was £50 each with a tip. Food is really tasty and the staff are great! Arrived just after 3.30 and done by 5.30 as it was getting noisy...perfect timing

Came here for a meal on holidays as a recommendation. The food was lovely but the service with the staff wasn’t very good at all, was disappointing. My partner had food poisoning after eating the shrimp tempura here and was terribly sick all the next day. Was the only one at our table who had it and was the only one sick.

Best bar in Reading, great food, great service, great music

Great food, good drinks, friendly staff 🥰 highly recommend!

Great food, great Price welcoming place, very friendly staff ☺️

We went on a Saturday night, food was really good! And good value for money, it was quite busy and occasionally staff were a little occupied when we needed them but otherwise really nice place, very friendly staff and great food

Stuff are rude and lazy who give order take away He doesn’t care about customers Thank you

They say they are open but when you call them the are closed

Good food. Service was rather slow but we were a large group of people.

Regularly come here for drinks and staff are always friendly and make you welcome. Decided to have stay for a meal and the Katsu Chicken was wonderful.. Thanks to Dinesh for your recommendation and outstanding service. Will definitely be eating here again!

Haven't been for ages. Tasty but food actually too hot. Cocktail was lovely.

Loved the atmosphere here. It was amazing. Security guy from the Gambia, always smiling 😀. He's so great and friendly.

This is definitely the place to be if you wanna let your hair down and have fun with your friends Ive been there only 2 but definitely my favourite spot now

Amazing food, impeccable drinks and fast, friendly, funny service. I’ll be coming back and would definitely recommend! I would give this restaurant FIVE BIG BOOMS 💥💥💥💥💥

We had a lovely experience. Dinesh who served us was so friendly and a lovely service customer service was offered. I highly recommend to anyone.We really enjoyed ourselves and we also got a discount.

Sujita and Hanna served me today and they were so lovely, food and drinks were also very nice as well as the ambience, thank you😊

The food was great. Got served by Hanna who was amazing and made our evening better. Would definitely recommend and will come again

Today we were served by Jasmine, thank you so much!!!!!!Fantastic service and Atmosphere, lovely food, amazing customer service- we love the food and the staff, great food and great service-

Lovely place with great food amd atmosphere, came for cocktails beforehand too :)

The food was delicious and all members of staff were friendly, welcoming and provided excellent service.Sachin made the most delicious Lychee Martin ! Definitely visiting again

Coconut bar never disappoints! The food is always amazing, the ambience is perfect, and the staff provides the friendliest service every single time. It’s my go-to spot, and everything is always the best. Special shout out to Raj, Dinesh and Jo for consistently being the best!

Nice environment, foods and most important had memorable night. Sanish was great with his serving.

Very delicious Korean BIBIMBAP ever tasted. Warm services experienced

Youseff and Dinesh 5 star 🌟 plus service as always that’s why we return for the last 10 yrs thank you great food even better service

Good night out, good music. Had a lovely time

thank you so much to Raj who looked after us last night! we were here for a staff party and the team were excellent! service was always so friendly and speedy - we were a large group and the food was delicious and came out very quickly, and considering there was only a couple of bartenders, the drinks (mostly cocktails) were perfect! thank you so much ☺️

The atmosphere was amazing as soon as we walked in and was faciliated by the lovely ambient lighting and lively chatter throughout the restaurant and bar. Luckily, we managed to get a walk in reservation for eight and I thank the staff for accomadating our difficult circumstances. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the chicken don! It was packed with flavour and a decent size portion. However, options were slightly limited in regards to sides. However, unfortunately our experience with staff was mediocre at best. They had trouble hearing us sometimes due to the noisy surroundings and seemed to quickly lose patience. I’m aware it is a fast paced environment but rushing people to order and seeming peeved when they aren’t ready yet is not a welcoming attitude to experience. It really did impact my rating of the restaurant as I felt unvalued as a customer especially as there is a service charge added on to the bill and I would expect excellent service if that is the case. On the other hand, there were a few members of staff that made sure we enjoyed our food and checked in on us which boosts my rating. Overall, would recommend to others but would advise them on the attitudes on the staff and to perhaps check and have their order ready beforehand.

Definitely worth visiting. Food and service is really good.. Have been here a couple of times now.

Such a vibes in there the music the people all on point only thing people just want to pull up if u you bring someone along no real hand off policy

Went to Coconut last night and ate the best Pad Thai I've every had. Good service and cosy atmosphere. Good stuff!

I have had the worst experience of my life at the Coconut Bar tonight on my birthday. I have experienced physical harassment from one of your security men who has proved to be disrespectful towards me for absolutely no reason. I have felt that my life has been put in danger and I truly fear ever stepping foot in there ever again. I have not provoked any fight and I have been respectful, yet I have felt how I have been discriminated. I have very much appreciated this place, yet I am wondering how a business could prove such lack of professionalism, ethics, respect for the individual, and integrity. As a woman, I have felt physically abused, verbally harassed and, therefore, embarrassed and emasculated through such an abusive act coming from your employee. I do require further investigation regarding the unethical and unacceptable behaviours performed at this bar so this kind of incidents could be prevented in the future, as it can affect other individuals as well. Thank you in advance!

best place on earth EVER!!!!!!!

Came for a bottomless brunch. Food was delicious as always and drinks were great and regular.

I came here with my church friends for supper after the service. The food was great but it took much too long to arrive and the staff members’ knowledge of English isn’t terribly good, which meant that in error I ended up paying for everybody’s drinks instead of just mine, and the group had to reimburse me.

Raj,Jo,sim,Tasman and the whole team are very friendly and professional, the food is fantastic and I am always satisfied with the service they provide, highly recommended to everyone.

Really welcoming staff, every one says hello upon arrival, shocking 😃in a positive way. Food arrived quickly and was perfectly cooked with flavours on point. As a suggestion, I would improve the drinks menu, format on offers/happy hour is a bit all over the place creating confusion since different days has different offers. The atmosphere is quite noisy since is a Bar, not a restaurant.

Was walking Reading High Street and came across this place. Very nice restaurant to visit.

very nice place and environment and must recommended ,,Sanish was very friendly and nice ,,Great service👍🏻😊

We came all the way from london to reading and went to this restaurant to grab some dinner, Such a nice place the environment and sanish was very friendly and nice with the service, must recommended to hang out with your friends.

This place knows how to do customer service! Super attentive, friendly and efficient even though all tables were occupied and it was busy. Food was incredible, delicious and hot and super quick to come out. Every single staff member thanked us on our way out. Was so impressed with our whole experience.

Absolutely lovely staff and food. Great date location 😊

I gave Coconut 5 stars in 2017. Glad to see it still is 5 stars in 2024. It is more than Bar & Cocktails. The food in here has always been full of taste.

Was in there recently and just want to say the customer service and waitress Asia were very warm and welcoming and friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend to anybody and will definitely be back there very soon. Food was incredible also! 10/10 experience!

Lovely food and service from Hanna :)

Went here for a few drinks and food was great. The server Maganda JO was great 😊

Great night out . Cocktails and Drinks on expensive side .

I've been here a few times and each time I have experienced poor food quality, high prices and average service. I would never recommend this place to anyone and always try and give it another go for the pure fact that I enjoy the music there. The bar staff are rude, the door security are very backwards in their thinking and make little sense when speaking. I hope people stay away and try the other amazing bars and clubs around Reading because you're experience will be so much more satisfying!

The place used to be great, not any more ! The security team is rough and operates as a cartel They mishandle customers, rudely push them around ( including drunk female customers) then pass on a false narrative. Visit with caution

Nice food and staff (served by Sunaina that day)!

Super warm welcome, food & cocktails lovely, special thanks to Jo really great hospitality:), would definitely recommend to friends, definitely coming here again .

Very friendly and helpful staff, food was good and the drink I got was fantastic- will return!!

One of the nicest cocktail bars in Reading. With equally good Oriental food.

Didn't have anything to eat but will definitely be going back because the cocktails were amazing and the staff were really nice.

If I could give 0 zero ratings I would give 0. I am absolutely appalled with tonight, whilst everybody seems to give high ratings my ratings will be 0 for this evening. Excuse for my rant and I understand why people would not agree with me but please let me give you the backstory. I or should I say my sister booked a table of 5 for this evening (granted 1 was a no show)but upon my arrival the bouncer told me regardless my party was not allowed to attend , reasoning my mother who had been out prior to this restaurant booking was 'intoxicated "in their opinion therefore would not let uts enter ,upon speaking to the manager he was also heated with his response,this upon making me furious ,not only had he rejected my 60 year old mother from entering (whom today was a bit tiddly but also a grown woman who could be tiddly but also aware of everything that was materialising ĝ, enter the premises and the fact it was my 40th birthday which was ultimately suspended due to some reasoning out of my control I would just like to say I'm absolutely furious, could have been handled a lot duffers

Had bottomless brunch with my daughter for her birthday. Was served by Jo. We had such a great time. Food was good. Drinks were great. Service by Jo was great. Drinks flowed. Atmosphere was good too. Would definitely go back.

One of the restaurants I go to in Reading all the time. The overall food is delicious, the environment is great, and the service is great. His pork belly bite is delicious😋

Wanting for lunch . Food was lovely service was excellent cocktail was amazing definitely recommend definitely go back

I dropped in for lunch. Food was really great (I had the sweet potato fries and veggie bibimbap). Service from Jo was wonderful.

Good food at considerable prices esp during their lunch hours discounted offerrings. Their service is phenomenal, everyone is accommodating and hospitable just like how it is in an Asian country! Totally recommend!

Happy hour for cocktails and mocktails. Interesting selection of fusion cuisine.

Exceptional service (and rum) delivered by Teom and team. Quality food, served quickly with friendly and engaging staff. Deff recomend

Food and drink is always spot on. Service is exactly what you would expect. Jo was amazing! Nothing short of excellent. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing food and amazing service by all the staff including Jo! Food comes quickly and tastes great, beer and cocktails never disappoint. Definitely would recommend.

One of my favourite places in Reading when I come up to visit. Food is well priced and loads of choice. Cheap beer :) Staff are the best part though, everyone is so friendly and always says hello and goodbye.

This place was one of the decent places in Reading but now, what is up with the music, so basic and mono tone. Come on Coconut, change it up. Get better DJ and innovate with time.

Food and Service was exceptional. I will definitely be back.

What an amazing place. Booked a table for 4 people at 7pm. Great service with lovely smile we been served by Team Raj. Food was yummy and lovely atmosphere.

Kendall’s a great bar tender and very helpful

Amazing atmosphere, lovable music and great staff. Always the go to if you're out in Reading. Special thank you to Lucy.

Went out for drinks with a few mates. Kendal made us all an amazing cheesecake cocktail 10/10. Would definitely go back!!!!!

Kendal and Lusaigh were amazing, very friendly and even made my friends and i unique drinks. Definitely a bar worth visiting for its great customer service :)

Brilliant atmosphere,very friendly and polite staff. Jhoana was our host, she was very kind,welcoming and professional🤗 Well done Jhoana!We sure will come back for lunch soon.

Just want to show appreciation to Lucy and Isla for their wonderful customer service they always shown to me and everyone else … Once again thank you ☺️☺️

Great service and food was a great portion

Lovely food! Good vibes! And kind friendly bubbly waitress called Amanda 😁

I was stopped from coming in due to shorts on a hot day. Jean shorts were allowed though, as were dresses that revealed far more.

Great vibes, amazing cocktails and the highlight was lovely Asia behind the bar who went above and beyond and lifted my mood!
