My partner and i ate here this weekend and it was exceptional. We have no complaints about the food or service. Johnny was very attentive and had amazing attention to detail. Best place we have eaten in a while.

Came with a couple of colleagues while on a work trip, one who is vegan. Had a fantastic meal which we couldn't fault. The beef was so tender, the greens with lemon were really tasty and the vegan churros were a wonderful treat that he was really impressed with.

We were on the lookout for a spontaneous dinner and drinks spot and were pleased to stumble upon The House of the Rising Sun. From the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out—they made sure we were accommodated even though we didn’t have a reservation. Since it was a last-minute night out, we ended up seated at the high chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re dressed up (like in a tight shirt dress). The interior design is impressive—stylish and atmospheric, though a little too dim for dining. It feels more like a place that’s tailored for drinks and conversation. One standout feature is the bar with its aquarium-style backsplash—absolutely eye-catching. We tried the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu. The katsu was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and definitely best enjoyed with rice. The beef, on the other hand, was slightly chewy and not as tender as expected. For drinks, we had the classic Mojito and their signature cocktail, Land of Smiles. The latter was a highlight—refreshing with a unique spicy kick that really elevated the experience. Overall, The House of the Rising Sun is a lovely spot for a date night, especially if you’re after a cozy ambiance and creative cocktails. We’d definitely go back—hopefully with a reservation next time!

Really disappointed following previous visits! The portion sized have been cut dramatically! For example the noodles, they used to be a good size and fill you up for around £5.95 however now it resembles a child's portion. Previously they had a lovely char and were obviously stir-fried but they were sloppy, boiled and just had some soy sauce chucked on to boot. The chips totalled around 9 chunky wedges, again for £5.95, and the squid at £16ish were served in a bowl the same size as the chips. The pork belly was £16ish and we were served 3 pieces, painfully working out the thumb sized piece equated to a whole loin in the supermarket. Cocktails have increased to £15-16, which is slightly off London prices. Really disappointed in the steep increase in prices for portions which were similar to our last visit for my birthday in January last year. We spent £103, and kept the service charge on as the service is the one thing I cannot fault (except being seated at a 6 person table with another couple Wagamama's style, whilst there was a flurry of other seating available), but the servers were attentive and the food came out quickly. Hope the profit margins become less of the focus moving forward.

Having eaten at HOTRS before, we know the standard of the food is excellent and from a quality perspective, didn’t fail to impress on this occasion. HOWEVER, because we’ve visited before, we know what the portion sizes are usually, on this visit we were sold short! There were 6 of us and we ordered with the previous portion sizes in mind but were left dissatisfied. Each dish is quite expensive bearing in mind all dishes are stand alone with no accompaniments, and to feel we would have had to order more just to feel satiated seemed poor. Consistency is a key ingredient which was lacking on this occasion. We left the restaurant feeling hungry. Can’t fault staff and service, all were as professional as ever; although the image upload and note about our reason for attending on the booking platform was pointless - no one acknowledged our birthday celebration or greeted the birthday girl based on the uploaded image - why bother?

I've been to tapas restaurants so I'm familiar with the concept. But the food here was overpriced and the portions were extremely small for the amount of money spent. The taste was nowhere near exceptional enough to justify the cost. The cocktails were hit or miss, we were not sure if there was any alcohol in them. Mine was very watered down and tasteless, even though I was looking forward to drinking it because the combinations sounded delicious. I was astounded when others received their dishes. The presentation was lacking, the sizes were minuscule compared to the price. 16 pounds for 3 "fish tacos" that looked like battered prawns on a tortilla chip? The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and it was not busy. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive. I was glad they could fit us in without a reservation. Unfortunately, my group of 4 unanimously agreed not to eat there again.

Popped in this week for lunch and since my last visit, the menu available has halved in options and doubled in price. The place is nice but the food is extortionate. Over £15 for teriyaki beef, £13 for fish cakes. There is a line between having expensive, quality food and having a mockery taken of you. I think this restaurant crossed that line some months ago. Bring back the specials and care for customer experience. Hope to see an improvement soon

We went to the house of the rising sun today. We always book before we go and have always had amazing food in the evening. But today, we was passing and thought we would give the dinner menu a go. Super bad move. I ordered the noodles with the teriyaki beef. The noodles was basically boiled spaghetti (not fried) and the beef was horrible dry stuff (god knows what that was). Tasteless and nasty( I left my food, couldn't get through it) . Totally devastated as we have raved about this place to everyone, and taken loads of our friends (thankfully not today). I thought the dinner menu wouldn't obviously be as good as the normal menu as it is less expensive, but genuinely didn’t expect it to be horrible. Don't go if you intend on having the lunchtime menu.

First time eating here and would definitely return. Went with my son for his birthday and the food was lovely. Reasonably priced and the staff were great. Only negative I have is after saying we hadn’t been before the waitress said she would recommend 2-3 dishes each as it’s a tapas menu, we both ordered squid, I had sweet and sour chicken and my son had shredded beef, then we both had noodles, the bowl of noodles was big so we could have shared really! We ended up with 4 takeaway boxes to bring home! So portions are quite big, maybe not a negative but we wouldn’t have ordered so much if we knew.

Despite fantastic service and great drinks, the food was really average especially considering the price. Overcooked and chewy Calamari (honestly suspect that it was frozen), rather dull and tasteless Salmon Bao, Cloying sweet and sour chicken and under-seasoned rice. The Pork Belly was very tasty though so it's clear that some dishes are better than others. At £80 for two the food really didn't feel like it was worth the price paid. There are better alternatives in Shrewsbury in my opinion.

Where to begin. Firstly make sure you book, we were greeted wonderfully on arrival, and shown to a table upstairs. Drinks and wine list are really good, the staff took the time to explain the best way to order as it is essentially a "tapas" restaurant. The food arrived in stages amd was quite simply brilliant. The menu mixture of Indian, South East Asia, South America and Japan, should not work together.....but the quality and awesome flavours of all the dishes are the perfect assault on the tastebuds. The staff are all well trained in the owners concept of what the restaurant should be and this shows everywhere in the service they give. I wish we had this restaurant where we live! It's brilliant in every way.

I visited with my family for dinner on a relaxed Sunday night. Without a booking we were treated very quickly and shown to our table. Lovely cocktails and servers were excellent. Continued water too ups, recommendations, replacing dropped cutlery, they were on top of everything. We chose three dishes each, which we admit maybe wasn't the smartest decision as some of the dishes were unexpectedly bigger than other and we ordered way too much for the four of us. The food was all delicious apart from the chat siu glazed aubergine from the earth menu. We each tried a piece of the aubergine and all agreed it was not good and was unable to eat it. Maybe this wasn't to our taste but I would most definitely re consider this dish. But over all the atmosphere was great, loved the staff, short waiting times and plenty of choice.

Meat nice, but the rest- boiled noodles - no seasoning/garlic/soy/sesame etc, vegetables- again no seasoning, boiled or steamed. The blandest Asian food I have had in years. Almost no sauce (what there was watery and at the bottom). Use of a wok would really help. Maybe better on a different day ???

The ambience is good. The food is ok depending on what you want to eat. Not keen on belly pork as it was not crispy just felt like eating fat and lacked of flavour. Katsu we had two portions the first one was very nice, and the second was too salty. So need more consistency. I love lamb but I was disappointed with this one. For the 3 of us the bill came at £200 so very pricey. If you are hungry go somewhere else, if you want a snack with drinks it suits.

Calamari was a small portion and overcooked. Duck pancakes were tasty. Draught beers were crisp. Gave too stars as value and quality were severely mismatched.

This restaurant boasts an excellent atmosphere, being quite small but still feeling like you have your own space and not invading anyone else’s. Menu has an excellent variety of world street food (mainly Asian cuisine), they advise choosing 4-6 plates (for 2 people) as the plates come quite small so sharing is advised. Waiter Jonny was fully of energy and extremely attentive, and the whole team were very friendly and helpful. All around great meal, and you can make it as cheap or expensive as you want it to be, great for date nights and special occasions.

Lovely food but expensive for what you get, staff friendly, and service was slow. Could have walked round town centre another 3 times, more

The staff here are friendly and thorough when asking if any allergies or dietary requirements. Service was great, and did not have to wait for long for food after ordering. Got to sit outside. The server made sure the outdoor heater was on and that we were comfortable. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

The house of the rising sun is a smart, stylish bar. There is a nice outside seating area at the front. It's mainly a place to come and eat. We didn't try the food. We only called in for a drink. There's a fair choice of beers and wine. Unfortunately, they don't have any cask conditioned real ales. The staff are friendly and the food menu did look good.

Absolutely brilliant. Can't fault anything or suggest any improvements. So sad we don't live closer . I'd advise anybody to go . Great variety of food. Good value . Nice service from pleasant staff who seemed to be knowledgeable about the food .

Great service and staff but very poor food, it's fine downhill since we last went, cold food is unacceptable, poor quality of produce and not value for money

Ordered prawn noodles and a prawn baubun The noodles were cold and quite tasteless, sent them back, noodles reheated and no adjustment to flavour, so didn't eat them The prawn baubun was very small with 2 small prawns on, £6.50 for 1 bun , not value for money and very poor quality of food I won't return as it's not value for money,

Brilliant experience. One of our favourite restaurants in the area without a doubt. The waiter we had (Jonny), topped our night with brilliant service and some top banter. There's a really good, tasty menu with plenty options for vegans too.

30th Birthday Celebration! I've never had a bad experience whilst at House of the Rising Sun but wanted to leave this review from my most recent visit. We booked a large group for evening meal to celebrate my sisters birthday and from booking to when we left everything was brilliant. The staff there are so accommodating and communicate well about dietary restrictions and dealing with a large group. We took a birthday cake to them earlier in the day and asked that it be brought out for desert later. When I asked if they had any candles there the staff member said if they didn't that a member of staff could pop out and get us some if need be. Our waiting staff were very attentive, always filling up our water and keeping an eye on when our drinks were running low. They explained that because of the large group that food might not all come out at the same time, which was fine, however, there were no big delays and was actually preferable. The food is amazing there, and I would highly recommend the mezze board and noodles. The cocktails are also very tasty and not just full of sugar. If you don't manage to finish your food then they are happy to box it up for you to take. When it came time for the cake to come out they turned the main lights down and staff were even singing happy birthday, which was appreciated. Service charge is optional but I dont see how you could not include this as I've never been able to fault the place or the service we get there. As we left we were told it was a pleasure to have us there which was nice given it was a very busy Saturday for them. All in all would highly recommend whether it's for lunch or evening meal, a quiet one or a celebration.

Local looks lovely. People who sarve you are really nice and polite. But quality of the food is rubbish. Ordered mazz board, chicken katsu and beef teryiaki. To be honest when saw dishes was happy that I didn't order dessert. Mazz board was ok. Just ok. No taste explosion. You can probably get the same experience by buying hummus, olives, falafel at any shop as a ready meal. Seriously. I was really dissapointed. Chicken katsu and beef teryiaki was just tasteless. Katsu dish looks like a mess on a plate and sauce was just watery. Teryiaki was micro portion. Size of the portion isn't an issue as long as you can feel that you pay for quality. But leaving there 60 pounds for tasteless meal? Seriously if you like rich flavour kitchen help yourself and skip that place.

Had heard great things but was sadly disappointed. We ordered vegetable spring rolls which were basically like aldi party food and when I asked a member of staff they confirmed that they bought in frozen ones . Then the glass noodles which was the smallest portion ever for £9.99 and were presented with a pot by our waiter who said ‘ I warn you the sauce is the hottest thing on our menu’ there was no explanation of this on the actual menu . There was minimal quite flavourless meat at the bottom and the sauce was just too hot to add to them . Coupled with watching a couple of members of staff pulling faces at one another when two young girls came in dressed to their own style and the same again when a woman came in enthused for her evening out it wasn’t the experience we had expected . Two members of staff were absolutely lovely and professional and the cocktail I had was delicious but overall a really disappointing time given it was a treat to go .

There were a lot of dishes to choose from, and all the food that we ordered was lovely! The staff were very friendly. There was a bit of an issue as one of our dishes didn’t arrive - however, the staff went out of their way to rectify this and even removed it from our bill.

Do not book. We had booked for a family birthday celebration. Service was so, so. Drinks order not taken upon seating and slow to arrive. There were only 3 tables in so can't blame on busyness. For the size of room and number of covers the music was too loud. When it came to taking our food order turned out half of the items weren't available. After placing order waitress had to come back twice to say items we'd ordered weren't available. Standard practice is you tell customers upon seating when items are off the menu. Of the mains of pork, steaks, white fish and risotto my husband was left with only risotto to choose as he's allergic to fish. Pork dish listed as cote de porc (pork chop) but tough, chewy gammon appeared instead. A table near us had to leave (presumably because of little being left). A couple then sat down and proceeded to order things that weren't on the menu we were given. A look up on the website later showed them to be on the bar menu. Apparently the restaurant is closing. If this is correct they should have been transparent when booking about the likelihood of a restricted menu. And also upon arrival. But also poor prep of staff to then not let customers know that items were available from a different menu. ‐------------------ Edit in response. 1. We did tell staff about unhappiness, including with the pork, which is why your staff gave us money off our bill. 2. Bar menu food was served at the table next to us: chicken burger and plaice and chips. Neither of which were on the main menu we were given. 3. We recognised that the servers were trying to do their best under what appeared to be trying circumstances and left a tip. 4. Re husband's allergy. There's normally a good choice of other things. The main time we need to mention it is when going somewhere which has taster menus.

Having for the past 10 years dined-in or done takeaway I can say with quite a degree of certainty that Lees Moon Hon is a smorgasbord of Asian delights served with good humour and delightful manners. The menu is a giants feast of flavours as teasing as the selection which is so large one needs a pre dinner drink just to try and find the perfect meld between appetite, taste and adventure. The salt and pepper king prawns, the beef and black bean, the satay duck or the perfect egg and fried rice polished off with the deep fried pineapple for dessert....the depth is as intriguing as the culture and just as addictive. For there lies the problem....you can't just eat there once, you have to go back, again and again and again....

Completed online booking form to book a table for a birthday meal to never receive any confirmation. Attempted to phone… phone number not in use. Used the online WhatsApp system… my message was read and never replied to!!! Awful customer service and have booked elsewhere instead.
