Grounded Kitchen in Blaby

A massive big thank you to the amazing Shelly at Fosse Park! She really made my day! My wife usually can't eat at Grounded Kitchen, because the food is spicy for her stomach. Shelly patiently and kindly explained all the food options and together we came up with a non-spicy vegetarian option, that was perfect for her. It was super delicious! Well done Shelly!

Went out to eat with my partner. What an amazing place! I loved every single moment at this place. The food was amazing. I ordered the "Hot and Nutty Fire" wrap. What a wrap! It was totally different with all the combinations in it. It went very well, and the spice kick to it was nicely done. Well done, chef! Now, onto the bowls of ramen noodles. Oh, my! What an amazing dish! Highly recommended to all you gym freaks to get that goodness in. Not to forget the testers before walking in just made my day. Amazing staff and service. We will be back. What it shows on menu is what you actually get.

Very bland food with little to no flavour. Customer service was good when I wanted to swap my main meal because I didn’t enjoy it. Portion sizes are rather small too for dinner.

This is a really nice place that adds variety to eating out options. I have been here and ordered from here quite a few times. They have recently changed up their menu. I tried the laksa which was nice although it leaked on delivery. Please can you improve delivery packages for saucy meals. Rice bowl is always good. I prefer the chicken over meat as had instances where the beef was noy great. The flavours of the rice bowl go well together. I usually get the hot and firey. I have also tried the udon Noodles which are the thick ones. I like this too. Sometimes it can be a little drying if the person making it doesn't add in enough sauce. More recently I went for the noodle broth bowl which was decent and filling. There was lots of sauce and it's serves with a protein of your choice. This is a nice winter dish. We didn't like the dumplings. Didn't taste fresh at all. The Edamame side is ok. If you prefer an alternative to a burger I'd reccomend the bao buns however these are not the most filling. The wraps are really good and much more filling. Overall I'd recommend the rice bowl as a safe option! They also give NHS discount which is a plus 👍🏼

Have really enjoyed eating at other Grounded Kitchen locations, but this one was by far the worst. Ordered a £12 bowl, arrived missing most of the vegetables, crispy onions etc that I'd usually expect. All of my previous meals at GK are full-to-the-brim, however the bowl at Fosse Park was only half-full. Have to imagine they were low on ingredients? Don't know why else they'd have ignored the usual recipes. Very disappointing for a premium brand. tldr; if you go when they've had a busy day, you'll get a bad, incomplete meal.

This is normally one of my favourite orders, however the portion sizes are not consistent, sometimes the bowl is fully packed to the top but sometimes the bowls are half full which is disappointing when your getting less for your money, this isn’t a cheap restaurant let’s be honest. Also not keen on how the menu has changed recently, a lot of the best recipes have been removed.

Open hours incorrect says 10 30 sunday at 10 45 they let me know they wouldn't be open for another 15 mins although doors were open

Ordered chicken Bulgogi. Awful. Tasted nothing like it, not authentic. Chicken was very dry. Inedible. Food was cold too! How?! After few bites, binned it. Do not eat here. Expensive too. === Gave this place a second chance. Absolutely awful service. Clueless. Left out food, so we had to drive back and they made excuse and says we called out the food but they told us all food was in the bag. While we were there the second time, another customer was complaining the same. Absolutely embarrassing and run by poorly trained staff with no work ethics. The food is not authentic and does not taste of anything. There is no broth in the udon. Do not eat here, you have been warned.

I was served by Anissa today, good food & good service!

Very disappointed with the smaller bowl size. My partner ordered a meal expecting the usual but was told that they only do small bowls which wasn’t even full! It was also more expensive than the larger bowl, how do they justify this? We were regulars but not going back!

Food used to be good. Now it's just a big bowl of mainly boiled rice, a bit of chicken (or your topping) and sauces. Disappointing. Only eat there bcoz its in fosse park. Nice ambience. Not worth the money.

I was struggling to understand the menu and what comes in it, had really good customer service from Aisha who went through the menu with me and recommended me the Chunchon laksa. It was really good, thank you Aisha for the help!

Fantastic and quick service. Food was piping hot. Thank you Ella and Rihanna you were amazing. Thanks to all the staff

Poor experience. Stood waiting in the queue for 5-10mins as 1 of 2 people. While in the queue no-one was making food and just felt like the staff were lost. Also the price seem very high for what it is.

The restaurant was dirty, the food isn’t as we remember it. The drink took 3 reminders to staff to make and staff were incredibly unprofessional swearing and inappropriate behind the till. Really disappointing, and to add to this, the prices don’t reflect the quality. We weren’t even given a receipt to highlight how much each of the items were!

Not bad. Portions are quite small. Food wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed. If you only looking to snack between shopping, that's a place to go.

Ordered food for the first time from here ( noodles) which were veryyy flavourless...it was just plain noodles....just wasted my 11 pounds and the quantitiy was also veryy less...

I used to eat here weekly but the quality went down massively. Thought I would give it another go as it’s been ages. Just ate it again today and it’s still such poor quality. The tofu is consistently burnt and over cooked. The quality is just so poor and I wouldn’t mind paying the price if it was good, but this is just not worth it. I even went to collect it hoping it would be good, as 99% of the time, when they deliver its awful. Still not up to scratch. Used to be so great when they first opened and were on queen street and town. I was actually one of their first every customers. Won’t be coming again.

Visited the restaurant a couple days ago and was served by a very friendly girl Anissa. She was very welcoming and helpful with the menu. The food tasted great, would definitely come again!

Really enjoyed the food but it's such a shame the service wasn't up to standard. There was only three of us eating and only two meals came out, leaving my daughter waiting and waiting thinking it will arrive soon but they actually forgot until we asked for the other two items we ordered. She then had to eat up quickly because she had to be somewhere. For this reason I won't be going back sorry.

What a disappointment ! Used to go to Grounded Kitchen a lot when they were at King Street and was happy to queue for half an hour during my lunch break as the food was so good - really tasty, fresh and zingy. Just ordered a delivery from the Fosse Park branch and it was just awful. The bulgogi beef was tough and tasted like it had been boiled and was so tasteless I had to add some barbecue sauce. The rice tasted like it had been sitting around on the counter for a couple of hours and the avocado was mushy and overripe. Only managed to eat about half of it. Just awful.

They were having issues taking payments at the time we arrived so had to order online which wasn't the easiest as my phone kept freezing on the website. Flavours were really good, tofu could have done with a little more flavour and it was quite firm than what I'm used to. Frappe was really good but would have expected a bigger cup for the price. When we arrived there were quite a few staff standing around when tables could have been tidied (we had to do that ourselves) But all in all, I probably would go back.

Tried this place for the first time yesterday. We were on our way back to Liverpool. Rheanna served us. She was not only very informative over the menu but pleasant and engaging. A real asset to your company. We will definitely be back !

Top star food, absolutely quality and fresh food will definitely recommend them

Incredibly slow service, decent food. Update *Service speed has improved significantly since my last visit*

First visit and the food was excellent! I had the wrap! Oh wow the meat (angus beef), the cheese 🧀 the flavours, oh my! When I go back to Leicester I will definitely be returning here! Quick bite on the go, or you can sit in, beautifully decorated and customer service was top tier. Thank you!

Paid £16 for the large bowl. Hardly any meat or rice, beef was cold and not freshly made. Poor value for money and very average taste. Branch in Clarendon park much much better. Won't come again.

I went there for my regular chicken gochujang and Huzaifah, Mahdi gave me really good customer service with the food portion size and a super friendly manner as well. Grounded kitchen you have good staff

The idea is wonderful but the quality is a little bit hit n miss! Sometimes it’s delicious you feel like it’s good for you and life is good.. other times it’s a bit bland and the tofu is like chewing on boot That being said I keep coming back cos I like the suprise The service and the Matcha latte is ALWAYS good and has a cute flower on it

Taste service and staff is on a point highly recommended

AMAZING! Food was awesome! Service was excellent 👌🏻 so friendly and polite! The atmosphere was so good 😊… loved the music too! I’ve been a few times now and had the same great experience so I will definitely be returning!

It never used to come cold but it seems to now. The chicken was fridge temperature last time I came. Have to microwave it everytime. Never used to be like that. The chicken uses to be warm with he rice.

Really delicious food, good customisation options, staff very friendly and welcoming and food came quick

The best food I've ever tasted which was made and served by Rhianna who was so friendly to us. please send my compliment to Rhianna she deserves it.

I had a poor experience, the issues raised were dealt with amicably by the manager. Kudos for the excellent customer service which was highly appreciated. I really hope that you take my feedback on board.

It was our first time trying korean food so we had no clue what to get. we went for the gochujang prawn noodles, some tofu bao buns and loved them!! We’ll definitely be back again, also a big thanks to the nice pretty tall girl who served, and helped us with our order :)

5/05/2023 - 21:11 - It's been a while since we last had a grounded kitchen and I have to say we were both massively disappointed. I do not know what has happened but our chicken bulgogi bowls / bao buns were incredebly bland and flavourless. There was a distinct lack of seasoning/ sauce they usually have. They almost seemed waterered down. There were also ingredients missing from both bowls. I'm not sure if its due to the time we attended that standards slacken off but it's a shame because we really like this place.

Big fan of grounded kitchen normally. Unfortunately every time I go to the fosse park branch I seem to have issues. They are slow and extremely incompetent. My second time with a problem , the first time they forgot about my order after being told it would be 20 mins I ended up waiting almost AN HOUR because they forgot. The staff are rude and you can tell they have no clue what is going on. They regularly stop taking orders to catch up ‘with cleaning’ or other supposed reasons hours before their closing time. Really frustrating and it’s just disappointing as I have been frequenting GK since uni days and their first branch opening on queens road!!

Good service in good time. Nice staff. Food absolutely delicious. Had a lovely evening meal here and will be coming back.

Ordered delivery through deliveroo. Took a long time to come and was stone cold as a consequence. I had a chicken wrap that had very little chicken, a few flakes that looked like cat food. Wrap itself was cold and soggy. My wife’s prawn nourish bowl was good. The pancakes with Nutella were cold, soggy and chewy. Would have been disappointing at half the price and for what you actually pay it’s a complete rip off.

I popped in for a quick lunch today and I was really impressed. The service was impeccable. Friendly, helpful and attentive. I order the Tofu Simchi. It arrived quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely come back again! This is what fast food should be. Simple, healthy and quick and served with a smile.

For take way is getting worse and worse every order☹️most of the dish was rice…I don’t want to pay for only rice

Picked up my 2good to go order.. didn't ask what allergies I had, neither of there was anything we didn't eat.. packed bowl with rice and beef only.. don't eat beef for religious reasons so only had plain rice.. am sure the bowls are not that vanilla. Really disappointed waited all day for my meal only to eat sticky rice.

Visited the foss park store on 10 Feb . Service was ridiculously slow. Waited 10mins to be served with only 1 perspn infront and then waited 30mins for our meal. All the guys working there had beards but not wearing hair nets for beards. This is basic hygiene and we do not want your hair in our food.

Something different Did find it a lot of money for what it was Enjoyed it but don’t think I’d have it again for £13. Would have the xl next time Service was great and staff were polite and informative.

Beef bao buns were really tasty. The Korean wings weren't to my taste and they were pretty standard, not anything special. Unfortunately, connection is quite poor around the food court, so I wasn't able to order food online. This meant a very long queue with one cashier patiently taking our orders one by one. Long wait for the food - probably because it was so busy. For this same reason, I wasn't able to order the beetroot velvet latte as they weren't making hot drinks. Decor was lovely. The seating isn't to relax and enjoy - it's more like a take out atmosphere due to the bench style seats.

Loved it. Can't wait to visit again.

Eva and the team were friendly and very helpful! Eva greeted us straight away and was very welcoming, always nice healthy tasty food! I love the chocolate frappe it’s one of my favourites!

We went to get a takeaway from here last night, food was amazing and fresh! Staff were so lovely and recommended some dishes for us to try. Thank you!

We had no idea what food we fancied, so we just had a walk around the food court. We saw two chicken Gochujangs go out the door of this place... Looked fantastic, sold! We ordered exactly what we saw, and it was brilliant, so many different flavours throughout the bowl. Would definitely come back with a group of mates next time, they'd love it. The staff clearly care a lot about what they do, and they're doing a great job. Thank you!

Food was very dry, my chicken bulgogi also had bones in it! I find the staff lazy and super slow as they were just talking to each other instead of doing any work, we had to wait 20 minutes for food when there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Would not recommend

RUDE STAFF We were 3 families,went to fosse park shop I ordered 2 large Gochujang Chicken . The guy brought 1 large and one regular one for my order. I told him we have ordered 2 large dishes, Surprisingly, he replied , we run out food!! I said, you could have told us and we can decide He started shouting very rudely (it is what it is, what can I do for you ?).in front of our friends and kids.! The conversation went very tense , I told him you should not talk this way . We should get what we ordered but he was very rude , pointing at me telling me if you don’t want it, you can leave!! His attitude was very strange and unacceptable . The manager, Rihanna, came and kindly apologised and said it was a stressful day and offered me to get a refund for the difference, I replied I do not want any refund. What I want is an apology from the person who was shouting and pointing at me in front of my friends and kids .What he did was completely unacceptable, unprofessional and disrespectful. We all left the shop full of anger and disappointment.

Jameel serviced me today and his service was excellent. Gave me a warm welcome with a lovely smile and recommended a bowl to share. Thank you Jameel!!

Can’t recommend this place enough to family and friends although tonight was a different story, we ordered our food as normal, a large king prawn bulgogi xxl with chicken, only to wait 40mins instead on the 10-15 we were told and it wasn’t busy in the branch at fosse park, then to get home and find out that our meals were large with no chicken in at all and hardly any prawns, sorry to write this review but there is no way of sending an email to vent this frustration, will defo be thinking twice and double checking my order if we return in the future.

Fantastic place..lovely food and amazing staff

Best experience! The staff were super friendly and lovely. Went for a birthday with friends and even though they were super busy, they were super kind in serving the cake we brought and they wrapped it in individual boxes. The food was warm and delicious and arrived very quickly. Big thank you to the staff again - thank you for your patience, kindness and great food.

Worth a visit! Very spicy food though. Superbowls and drinks such as "brain power" I highly recommend

The food and service at Grounded Kitchen Fosse Park, Leicester was amazing. Our ordered was prepared by Rhianna, Jameel & Anissa, it was a pretty big orders and all bowls were made perfectly - thank you :) The food was absolutely delicious!

Only came in because the fella behind the counter was singing and dancing. Quality chap.

I recently popped in to the Grounded Kitchen in fossspark Leicester, to have a ceremonial matcha super food latte, the Korean inspired cafe was really smart and clean, the food being served was prepared and served quickly, the surroundings were very beautifully decorated and I will be going again soon.

Had the tofu bowl yesterday and the tofu was dry and hard like cardboard, with no taste. The edamame also looked like they had been toasted twice. Flavours and the rest of the bowl were good, but the texture and quality of the tofu and edamame leaves me questioning whether I would re visit.

Loved the presentation in the food bowl. I had "Shichimi - Spicy Peanut Tofu" and enjoyed every bit of it. My friend had "Bulgogi - Chicken" and loved it too. If your taste buds prefer spicy food then you must try "Bulgogi" bowls. The restaurant staff were friendly and helped us to choose the right order for us. Note - NHS discount is available at this restaurant. Hope this helps.

Really fresh amazing healthy meals. Fantastic friendly service!!

Really delicious food, I had the beef bao buns and my partner had a chicken burrito. Not huge portion sizes for the price but fine for a healthy bite for lunch. Service was fast and staff were friendly too.

Visit this grounded kitchen regularly and the food is always great. Great service and suggestions from Aqib always!

Love the food here, lots of options with unique flavours. Use to be a regular at the King Street branch (wish they'd bring back the stamp system, only had a left to collect 😅). Big thanks to Ruqayah for my Bul-dak Fire Chicken as it tasted amazing and did not have to wait long for it. Other members of staff friendly too, plenty of seating available and décor is nice.

We visited here on a whim for supper, and very much enjoyed the light and fresh nourish bowls that Grounded Kitchen offer. We shared some beef bao buns (£8.95), which are stuffed with roasted Angus beef, crispy fried onions, pickled mooli, coriander, spring onions and chilli. These were very delicious but over-stuffed, and the bao bun ‘hinge’ burst open as we were trying to pick them up. The chicken gochujang (£10.95) and chicken bulgogi (£10.95) meals we had were very delicious. Everything is pre-prepped, so we received them just minutes after placing our order (the ingredients are added into the bowl, depending on the order). The bowls came with warm rice at the bottom, tepid chicken (I would have preferred the rice and meat to be served hot) and the other salad/veg ingredients are chilled. They were tasty, and portion sizes are generous. There is a lot of different ingredients in the bowls, from kimchi to grated pickled carrot and grated beetroot, and a good amount of avocado. It wasn’t stodgy, and had a pleasant range of flavours and textures, and felt healthy. You order at the counter, and receive a buzzer to go and collect your food when it’s ready. There were three members of staff so not quite sure why they can’t bring the food to the tables. There was a good range of soft drinks for us to choose from as well - Cawston Press apple or rhubarb sodas, Fentimans cola, ginger beer and lemonade, and Firefly chilled tea drinks. We paid £35 for the two mains, 1 portion of bao buns, and two soft drinks which we felt was very good value. There are also loo facilities inside the restaurant, and tables with plug & USB sockets.

I dont know why I had to wait more than 10 minutes for a drink. Slow slow slow. Never again

Really good food. Previously had the chicken bao bao which was fine..might try the beef option next time. This visit tried the king prawn gochujang - mindblowing explosion of flavours in every bite... Absolutely enjoyed my food!!! Once you order, you are give a bleep which rings once your food is ready. We didnt have to wait too long. Food was served with a smile and great presentation. Will be returning 👍

The bao buns chicken was AMAZING & Karim is awesome

Excellent food!! Went with my family and our server Karim was great. Fab service from the waiters and didn't have to wait long for our meal at all :)

Utterly delicious. I would never have choose to have lunch here. More of a Greg’s but I’m blown away. Food and service were 5star. Karim catered to my every request and talked me through what was in it and altered the spicing to my tastes. Definitely worth a visit !!

Would always go here when in Fosse Park, the team are very helpful (and answered my many questions). Great food too ☺️

Great food, great service, great staff Would definitely recommend!

Nice food, but a bit pricey. And service is very slow

Very good very tasty Faisal bhaji sorted us out

Waited 40 minutes for food still not to come. Kept being told 10 minutes. Awful service

Have ordered takeaway here a couple of times using Deliveroo and got to say it is absolutely amazing. Really good and healthy food. It is served brilliantly well and also prepared quick which means it is still warm when it gets to you.

I visited the Leicester Fosse Park Branch and I absolutely loved their Bao buns :) Staff members were awesome. Cosy and relaxed little food spot :)

Regulars here for the excellent pancakes. Also really friendly service, especially from Karim, Mo and Faizaa. Keep up the good work 👏

Fantastic experience. The staff were all very friendly and nice. The lady on the counter made sure we were comfortable with the menu and answered our questions about the food. We had chicken bao buns and they were amazing! Will definitely be heading back for one of their bowls another time.

Super bad attitude from server and long wait time for just a drink when the shop was empty, will never go to this chain again

Kariu was so professional a real asset. We had never been to this restaurant but the food was so nice Thank you Kariu for taking the time to explain what the different dishes were, great friendly service.

This place is just certified banging! Nutritious and delicious is a winning combination. Fresh food which is fulfilling and won’t leave you feeling guilty.Gojuchang, where have you been all of my life! Make sure you speak with Karim, he’s awesome and brilliant customer service. If you haven’t tried it then get down to Fosse Park. The Gojuchang bowls and wrap are my favourites. You won’t be disappointed. Hang tight all the Korean dons.

Good food, Good service. Karan and Fayzan were lovely 👍

Such amazing food, so tasty and fresh a little pricey but totally worth it!! Plenty to choose from

Food was decent but service and staff were not efficient or organised. Bordering on rude, answering the phone in the middle of serving me at the counter after waiting for ages. No pleasantries or friendliness after I'd ordered. Loads of items not available. Probably better just to get a take away from here as the staff don't add any value to the dining experience.

Hard to say it it was a hot or cold meal. Too long a wait... as loads of delivery pickups. Good taste... but not a hot meal. Might be ok for lunch. No alcohol to ease the long wait.

Visited the fosse Park branch with my mum for lunch. The food amazing, full of flavour and fresh ingredients. The store manager Faisal was very helpful and informative about the food. Would definitely be visiting again !

Dissaponting No Bao available at 12:20 on a monday,ended up with a Ssambap(wrap) which definitely didn't look as good as advertised or even wrapped particularly well.

We chose to have lunch as the menu looked different from your normal restaurant chain offerings. Great tasty food with a Korean theme. All the staff were helpful and friendly especially Karan and Rugayah who really helpful in our choices, thank you.

Wonderful food, best pick me up during a busy day!

Went to Grounded kitchen at Fosse Park for the second time today. Karan and Ruqayah were really helpful and friendly. The food and smoothies were healthy and delicious. This will be one of our regular eating stops.

First time with this cuisine or restaurant. Absolutely delicious! I had a spicy beef wrap and my partner had a mild chicken wrap (not sure the name!) 100% recommend

Great quality food and environment

Service and food were amazing Karan was an absolute lad helping and checking up with us through our entire visit. Even brought wife water and offered a scoop of ice cream cause food was too spicy for her.

Food and service were just perfect!! Would highly recommend the gochuchang chicken it was to die for. Karan was just wonderful recommending what to eat and just having a great jolly spirit to him, give that lad a raise!!😅😂

Again an excellent experience and great advice on every aspect of the menu from front of house Faizan ! An absolute asset to this restaurant and the team. If he’s not the manager he should be !

First time trying grounded kitchen and will defiantly be returning not only was food amazing and full of flavour the staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. Faz the store manager was great really made the experience unforgettable☺️

lovely little boy served us today called adam 👍🏻
