Grounded Kitchen Loughborough in Charnwood

Not a delightful food experience. Chicken wings was under cooked, chicken bowl and beef bowl was very disappointing too. The taste is more geared towards Europe taste buds i.e. full of over the counter sauces ketchup, mayonnaise etc. Paid £20.00 or so for the meal, if given another opportunity, we wouldn't even eat for free.

Really enjoyed my spicy beef ramen. Quick service and friendly staff.

This is the best food with the most excellent helpful friendly service in the whole of Loughborough. We really look forward to food from the delicious grounded kitchen. Thank you to all the lovely staff- when I win the lottery will you please work with me, I'll pay at least triple 🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆

Food is so lush, My first visit today. 10/10. Deffo I’ll go again beautiful food and healthy

The food was very tasty, and came out very quickly. The service was also incredibly friendly and our server went above and beyond to provide great service!

Great food. Great place. Great staff!

Very lovely service, accommodated my allergies. Definitely coming back again

Visited this place twice from Leicester and we choose this branch over Leicester as the customer service is 10/10.. cannot fault them at all .. each time the staff was very helpful and explained everything about the food .. And the gentleman Tharinder made us feel very welcome .. The food is made with passion and absolutely gorgeous Thankyou ❤️

Amazing vegan options. Really good deals for food and drink combos. Great service, too!

Excellent tasty food, friendly helpful guy who recommend the lunch menu and saved me a few quid, healthy to!

A real gem of a little restaurant, well worth a visit.

I ordered fire noodles And gojuhang noodles both were OK wasn't spicy at all even thou it's ment to be its says there should be veg it in but ther were no veg except pak choi. Lime was missing and other veges

Great bao, good wings, quick service. The venue didn't have much of a vibe but it's basically a takeaway so didn't expect one. The wings were good but not amazing. Would come back for the bao.

This used to be my absolute favourite place I’d order every other day! Now I can’t even finish my meal.. not sure what’s happened! The sauces taste different.. the meat tastes different! It’s so sad :( scared to waste my money!

Ordered food to go. The food is delicious. As requested, not too spicy. Chicken wings, fried and not dry. The seller is friendly. Everything that was asked about the menu was kindly explained.

Great food and quick service. Very filling and lots to choose from.

Really great food every time I go! 100% recommended, they are amazing! 😊😊

Amazing food always, just small portions for the price unless you pay 3 pounds extra for the large and make 2 meals out of it

Love the quenches and amazing food!

horrible customer service, firstly had to wait to order as the front of house was too busy on a phone call and not taking notice that a customer had just walked in, then once i had ordered my food arrived cold- i had the chicken bao- seemed that the bao may not have been cooked properly as it was hard and not very warm at all. Definitely not worth the money which is a shame because it used to be my favourite lunch spot in loughborough:(

I visited Grounded and overall, I had a positive experience. However, there were a couple of issues. Despite explicitly requesting no peppers, as indicated on the order, my meal still contained peppers. Additionally, I ordered a salmon bao, and while the salmon was properly cooked, the bao itself was served cold, which affected the overall taste.

Terrible, overpriced food. I had a beef bulgogi and it was the worst beef I have ever had. Insanely overpriced for what you get

The chicken and the beef bibimbap were really bad. The beef tasted like cardboard and the chicken was flavourless. The Avocado should've redeemed it but even that was sour and bad. There are barely any seats so atmosphere is none and the service wasn't great either. Given that it's £13 it should've been better

Fire food, great music and awesome service!

My favourite new takeaway. Its amazing to find a place that does healthy food whilst I'm in training. Just a shame I have to drive 30 minutes to enjoy it. Ashby-de-la-Zouch needs a grounded kitchen!!!

Ordered salmon bao which tasted okay. Chicken bao - chicken was overcooked, dry and a horrible texture. Chicken wings tasted okay but would've expected more heat . Would not return

Great flavorsome food with good options - would highly recommend it.

Amazing food every time. The team ensure food quality and service are the best every time. You must try their smoothies, pancakes and udon!

Great fresh and tasty food. Friendly service.

Beautiful food, amazing staff and the restaurant was spotless. Thank you x

Nice little hidden gem to get a meal or snack before you jump on the bus. Extremely tasty bao buns 👌🏽

Very nice food & friendly staff. Recommended!

Great food. We are a regular here

Really tasty good food! The chicken wings are amazing! Customer service outstanding highly recommended

I work away every week so I order from various places over the country this is definitely 1 of my favorite! So tasty quick delivery! Definitely recommend

This was my favourite places to eat, and I was hoping to come here every week on my way to Leicester. However, the menu changed. Nothing looks apetising. I finally chose an option. And the tofu was dreadful. Either use silken tofu or fry it. There were very few vegetables in the options in contrast to the earlier menu. The sauces made me feel sick, and I still felt sick that evening and following morning. Aside from being off, the sauces do not go with the food or the Korean cuisine, which is lighter, more vinegar based. Stay far away.

First impression, the lady on shift today was using her phone. Food was dead. Veg was NOT fresh, soggy veg from this morning confirmed by the staff. No beef, limited options. Bao- was soggy it was rank the chicken looked and tasted like tuna. I asked for it to be extra hot but it was bland. 2/10 The buldak fire chicken was okish, I mean I paid for it so couldn’t waste it but it was so soggy, bland and cold 3/10. The staff was rude, had zero manners and seemed to be angry for being at work. No hi, thank you or even bye. Very poor service. She didn’t know her prices either which is very embarrassing on her behalf tbh. Avoid at all cost.

I was in Loughborough earlier this year, and decided when I returned I would give Grounded Kitchen a go, as I liked the concept and Korean food. I arrived at Grounded Kitchen around 30 minutes prior to close, which was ample time with food prepared quickly. The food was served in a carboard bowl, which took away from the experience. As I went to order, I was advised there was no beef, chicken or tofu, which really limited the meal options available. I decided to have a spicy mushroom Gochujang. The meal was pleasant but felt it could have been improved with more flavour. The ambience was more like a large restaurant chain than that of a small chain with only a handful of restaurants. The people working in the restaurant appeared to have several friends waiting inside for them to finish. Although this didn't deter me, it did make me feel like I was somewhat in the way. All in all, it didn't live up to expectations, and I don't think I'd return.

What an amazing and unique little spot! Will definitely be coming back, multiple times, I can see it already! It’s perfect for lunch, with a variety of interesting flavours in the form of bowls, baos and wraps. They are all for healthy eating, but don’t sacrifice any flavour. The quencher was beyond gorgeous, with the little garnishes being a nice and welcomed touch. All the food so very filling and exciting, well worth the price (look out for all the cheeky deals they have too!) The staff went above and beyond as well, informing us of deals, having a little chat about the place, and offering to bring the food out as it was ready. All in all, fabulous experience, and will become one of the top spots in Loughborough!

Great Korean food, great to have a different option. Cosy, clean outlet Good service and generally efficient. The only disappointment is the food is Luke warm and cold by the time you get home. Not good reheating as packed, especially when cold/raw/salad items with rice etc in layered.

Really lovely contemporary korean restaurant. Food and drinks are overall really nice, just a little pricey for the portion size, but I guess they seem to be a more modern, tasty but healthier eating restaurant. Vegan options were amazing!

Really good range of Korean food, catering for children as well, everything was very fresh and tasty. Prices are good and the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Definitely recommend going, especially if you like spicy food (you can have it without it being hot as well), the pancake desert is amazing.

The food was delicious and i was servered by Karim who was very polite and friendly. I will definitely be going back.

Lovely food and fast service. Cool breakfast bar to dine in if you're not in a hurry.

Wonderful food in a great location

Suleman from Loughborough gave us a great experience and really looked after me and the Mrs Thank you again

Killer food! Hearty and filling. Great value. These guys served us at our event not too far from the store. Amazing, hot, fresh food. We are really grateful guys. Thank you! X

Very delicious! Big portion for an affordable price, nice atmosphere and friendly staff!

I can't believe this has been open a year and I've only just discovered it today! Really enjoyed the food, vibe and super friendly Mo and Jack who served me. I will be back 😎

So this place is an absolute gem. Me and my fiancee had to choose between this and Nandos which I desperately enjoy. So it was a bit of a risk, HOWEVER do yourself a favor and visit Grounded Kitchen...I mean look at all the colours in the pictures, clearly healthier than Nandos and tastier too. It's not too spicy, the friendly staff can make it mild or hot. Portions are big and they have an option for extra large. Atmosphere is relaxing and the music is spot on. After our meal, we had a blue coconut latte which was interesting. It lacks caffeine so you wouldn't get a buzz from it. But it did heat me up on a windy chill afternoon. So, please take a leap of faith and order from Grounded Kitchen. Amazing food!

Despite it being a small store it feels cosy and has a great atmosphere. It serves lovely korean style food, personally, i prefer the gochujang chicken. The food has a bit of a kick to it but that is the same with all korean food. I believe they can make it miuld but I enjoy the spice. I will be back. thansk for a great meal!

Lovely food and great service, loved the Gochujang Chicken perfect mix of spice and sweet.

Delicious! The Gochu Cashews are really good in particular.

Good staff, terrible food. Nothing like the polka bowls or Asian food their say it's supposed to be. I would not recommend if you're used to having an Asian pallette.

We wanted something relatively healthy, we asked for 2 Bulgogi Bowls, one with beef and one with chichen, and I specifically asked for it not to be any chillies in it. First thing first, 27£ for what comes into the bowl (some coleslaw, bell pepers, rice and some salad) seems a bit excessive to me, personally, but I guess to each their own. Second, there were plenty of chillies in it and was so spicy I couldn't even finish, it made my nose runny like never before. The parsley on top did not look to fresh to me. The time for it to get it done was okey, I think that's the only good thing about it. Tried once, but I don't think I'll go back.

Super service by both guys, lovely food, cheers.

The Chicken Buldak Firebowl is exquisite with the spicy peanut sauce added. Lots of flavour. Vegetables and Salads are lovely and I tend to avoid my veg and salads! That's saying something (for those who know me haha!). If this place did chips, kwahhh they'd be even better!

Amazing tasty food. Staff were excellent

Gorgeous authentic Asian food, very fair prices, friendly service. No complaints

Tasty Korean bowls, large portions and great value for money in general.

I chose the regular size meal, which was very filling. So only choose large if you have a very big appetite. Tasty

We enjoyed the food (despite far too much chilli sauce on the dish my son had and prices being a 'bit on the steep side for what you get) but sadly one of the members of staff took the edge off the visit as we left. We neatly piled up our 4 containers and left them on the counter where we had been eating as we couldn't see any bins or signage directing us to where we should dispose of our rubbish. As we exited she said, 'oh, don't worry, I'll clear away your rubbish' ...just rude and I hope that she gets the customer service training that she clearly needs. We intended no malice by leaving our containers (all in a neat pile) as I mentioned. My review would have been much more positive had this incident not happened ...shame.

I ordered takeaway from Grounded Kitchen for the first time today. Absolutely fantastic - I had the Gochujang prawn dish and it had so many amazing flavours! Really fresh and tasty, would highly recommend and can’t wait to try more of their dishes.

AMAZING FOOD! COULDN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH FOR A HEALTHY TAKEAWAY xx

Wow great service and amazing food, so healthy and I loved all the dressing and sources. Five stars all the way good value

It is a good place if you like a Korean bowls. Give it a chance. I would recommend just trying the drinks, really good.

Food not hot but tastes good eaten straight after pick up food not hot

My first meal from Grounded Kitchen (ordered on Deliveroo), and it was absolutely lovely, I had Endamame and sweet potato with Korean rice. I couldn’t eat it all in one go so saved some for my lunch the next day. I am looking forward to ordering again.

The Buldak fire chicken was tasty while also being healthy with a ton of veggies packed in under the chicken. The portion size was really big and good value for money. Looking forward to trying more from here.

Lucy served us. The staff were very accommodating. I tried the Buldak Fire Chicken, every mouthful was exciting and adventurous!

How can I start? The first look is very nice, with the guy in front much friendly a avaiable to give me all menu's explanations. For the food was really good too, I got a bulgogi chicken portion and I could feel the food was fresh and nice I'll order with them for sure Thank you 😊

Excellent quality of food, everything's so fresh and tastes absolutely amazing. Very much recommended!

I went for the Buldak fire chicken, the gochujang beef and the acai! The food was brilliant the flavours were incredible and exciting. Must come again.

I was very disappointed with my meal this time around! I ordered my usual the chicken Buldak Fire. I noticed that sweet potatoes weren’t added as well Emmental cheese. It tasted nothing like what I usually have!

Had a great lunch from here - aubergine bulgogi was tasty, chicken bulgogi and an added peanut sauce was excellent. Korean food is pretty spicy so be warned! We have also tried the Sweet Potato & Edamame bean which was sweeter. Really good kimchi too.

Amazing food, will definitely be back!

Amazing, healthy delicious food! I would definitely recommend. I ordered the sizzling prawns gochujang (a great lunch choice). I also had the Acai quencher, one of my favourite drinks ever. The service was great and the staff were really friendly. My overall experience was 10/10. Good luck to the new Loughborough store!

First visit here was amazing! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was 10/10 and the value for money was the same. Looking forward to visiting again. Must try, and if you’re a calorie counter then they’ve got that covered to decimal points! Overall it was a great experience and will be returning!
