Power, Corruption & Lies in Leeds

Came with friends for some lunchtime food and drinks, ended up staying 4 hours! Great choice of Asian food, we chose a selection between 3 of us. Edamame beans, prawn toast, crack wings, Korean steak, breakfast katsu and pork belly bao buns and then dim sum….. all very tasty and generous portions. Good value for money, would definitely come again.

Great spot on Call Lane for a drink, huge range available and music is great. Looking forward ro returning soon. **********

Had ana amazinf time here. Arranged a staff do. Very accomadating. Always friednly. Highlt. Reccomend the place to anyone who wants a fun time, great experiences and friendly staff. By far one of my favourite venues in Leeds. Shout out to James for arranging my staff night. Thankyou guys. You are all amazing 👍🥳

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch in one of our favourite spots down Call Lane in Leeds, PCL, we have eaten here a few times and the food (and cocktails) never let us down. The food is all Japanese small plates and the cocktails are all Asian inspired too using ingredients such as Matcha and Yuzu. There is a good mix of slightly larger dishes and smaller dishes to be served tapas style- we would recommend 5-6 per couple depending on which you choose. We sampled the summer menu which has some of the dishes we have tried before as well as some new ones- there are a selection of Baos and Dim Sum as well as the main dishes. We absolutely loved everything we tried- it was all served hot and fresh as it was made and the flavours were immense. The new cocktail menu is amazing too.

Popped in for a quick bite/ light lunch. Was a pick and mix small plates menu. “Asian style tapas”. All the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was wonderfully welcoming. Will definitely come back.

Arguably the best margarita cocktail I’ve ever had in this place.. that spiced rim is elite!! Been here three times now, never let us down. Ate on 1/3 of those visits and the bao buns were delightful. Great vibes, food and drinks… cannot ask for much more.

No chance on getting if you are single or Asian !!!! The Black bouncer won't let you in !!!!! Seems vey elitist with bad attitude. sadly another bar on car Lane letting Leeds single and Asian people down

We came here over the bank holiday weekend before we went for a meal. The bar is lovely, they have a good choice of drinks including a gluten free beer (virtuous) and do a good mix of other drinks too. Atmosphere is really nice and service is always excellent whenever we go. Can’t wait to go back . This place is a gem and hope to try the food out shortly

Absolutely amazing food and quick, friendly service. Interesting selection of dishes and distinctive flavours. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the fish karaage. Sadly, the music was too loud to have a conversation and the seating was a bit cramped. The kitchen was also out of several dishes, which was a shame. We were charged for a dish that we didn't even receive, though our server resolved this quickly. Overall, a lovely place for dinner but the atmosphere has room for improvement.

First time visiting PCL and really enjoyed everything about it. The food was delicious and was served so quickly - the menu had a great range of options too. Loved the vibe and would definitely come back again!

Popped to Leeds for the weekend, wife’s birthday. Was recommended PCL. Wasn’t disappointed - gorgeous food, friendly attentive staff, and an 80s electronic soundtrack 👌🏻

Lovely atmosphere, lovely drinks (very accommodating for different cocktails) and really friendly staff! Recommend

We went here for cocktails which were very good and had great names. We didn’t eat here but the food that other customers were eating looked good and the staff were very friendly. We were given a great recommendation from a member of staff for somewhere local to go out dancing and had a great time.

What an amazing bar. With sleek decor and exquisite drinks u is this is the place to be. All our cocktails were made with love and care by the delightful Millie who provided all our drinks in record time with a smile on her face. 5/5 would recommend

Had a fantastic evening here with good friends. Millie was a fantastic server, very friendly and helpful. The “what a mighty good marg” is now a personal favourite.

Stopped to have a drink outside. Lovely doorman let the waitresses know we were there. Just had a couple of drinks, on a warm evening, very pleasant. Staff very nice. Didn't eat there or go inside so can't comment on that.

The cocktails my boyfriend and I had were lovely, we really enjoyed them and the music was brilliant. A really good atmosphere for a Friday night visiting a city. My only issue, the service charge which was not mentioned at all. Bar tenders are reluctant...

Had 2 great cocktails and would be leaving a 5 star review however there was an issue with a service charge. We were given a 10% service charge completely hidden as the receipt was placed down at the same time as the card reader being...

We chose the fabulous Power Corruption Lies for our last day lunch on our Leeds staycation, which is a Japanese inspired restaurant and bar serving small plates, sake and cocktails. We have been eyeing up the food menu for a while and decided to go...

We went to PCL for tea as a couple. The food was nice- but small for the price. We had a bao bun and dumplings each and were still hungry afterwards. But I suppose that is Leeds city centre for you. The atmosphere was a...

Me and my partner went out for drinks here.. Initially, I thought that we were having a lovely night. The waitress was very kind and accommodating. However, we had an issue where the wrong drink was supplied. A manager spoke to us and rather than...

Interesting cocktail menu - good place to go if you want to try something a bit different. Food was tasty and service was good.

We stopped for a quick drink before we headed home and ended up staying for food due to the appealing Asian inspired menu. Accommodated a nut allergy without fuss and were attentive to our needs. Food and drink choice was great and food was fast...

My husband and I visited here for dinner, on a recommendation from a Leeds based food blogger and I’ve got to say it didn’t really live up to the hype. We ordered a few dishes but despite being very different, they were all very similar...

Food and drinks were lovely. However, as vegetarians we were served a pork bao instead of pumpkin. My partner (who hadn’t eaten meat for 10+ years) discovered this with a big mouthful of pulled pork... We didn’t really get an apology from the server and...

I’m unsure if this is because of it being the last night of their October EOHO scheme, but I have to say I came away disappointed. It took us 40 minutes before we were able to place our food order - we had to actively...

Our favourite bar in Leeds. We often come for drinks here, really cool vibe and amazing service. Ate here tonight for the first time and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the chicken karrange.

Bronte was so lovely and friendly towards me and my friends. She really made our night through her great service in these difficult times and we will be sure to go again

We have been wanting to go to Power, Corruption and Lies for a while so just had a flying visit on our most recent trip over to Leeds. We went at the end of our evening so only had time for a little taster of...

Amazing Asian small plates at Power, Corruption & Lies - definitely something different & special on the Leeds restaurant scene! Don’t hold back on the number of plates - the sizes are not small, but you won’t want to miss out on something delicious!

Had a lovely impromptu night here, served by the wonderful Bronte. Bronte was attentive and chatty, and made us feel very at-home and comfortable. Her wonderful manner and attentive customer service was unmatched. Had a great night here, especially enjoyed the Taste of Corruption cocktail....

Visited for the first time to celebrate my son's birthday. Didn't know what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised. Great food and atmosphere. Will definitely visit again

I visited this bar on Saturday night with my best friend for the first time and I thought it was great. The atmosphere was really good and the staff were lovely. I want to give a special shout out to the cow boy bouncer Martin...

Came for dinner on a Saturday evening, lovely atmosphere and great staff! We had such a good time we had to come back the next day for more, very different vibe during the day but just as comfortable and fun. The food was incredible, the...

Can’t fault anything about the bar, especially due to COVID-19 everything was kept clean and safe. Great bar and the best doormen in the north!

Very impressed, came down with a group of friends on some after work drinks and was a great experience from start to finish. The door staff were exactly how they should be professional and polite. The drinking and dining was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

Service was incredible, felt really comfortable and welcome. Food was banging (would just say the greens were a bit bland). Vibe and atmosphere is super cool. Hidden gem.

Great bar with a simple, industrial interior that is quite the opposite of the food and drink offerings. Cocktails are fantastic with clear and authentic pan-Asian influence. The food served is similar to tapas, plenty of small plates. Staff are great with recommendations and more...

Excellent selection of Japanese Highballs, Sake and Whiskeys! Best doorman in the country. ありがとうございます

We dined at Power,Corruption and Lies on a busy Saturday evening. We had a table booked for 7.30pm. The bar was very busy but not many people were eating. The food was fabulous and it’s a great place to go in a group to try...

Absolutely amazing place! The atmosphere, the decor, food, drinks are five star! This place is not to be missed!!

Chilled setting, great music, great service and the food 🤯 belly pork bao bun and the sriracha candied bacon. Amazing. Will definitely be going back

Came here to celebrate my mum's birthday & had a wonderful time- such a good selection of food (the gyoza are to die for), and the staff were a delight! Can't wait to come back again!

where to start, the drinks were amazing I had the crisp Japanese brewed beer jisaku it was light and refreshing and went perfectly with the siracha bacon, I also had the breakfast bao and the grilled squash curry which were both outstanding. definitely would visit...

Popped in here for a drink before heading to the top end of town and ended up staying for hours! The wine selection is excellent and after a couple of glasses (the barman recommended me the Torrontes as it was his favourite, amazing) we decided...

We had an immensely brilliant meal and were very well looked after by the staff. Beautiful menu that thoroughly pleased a large group with varied tastes.

Went here with a group of friends and I can't fault the place at all. The music and surroundings are great and the food even better. The staff were very helpful and attentive. A place not too be missed. Had loads more food but couldn't...

Came here for drinks and food last weekend. Haven’t stopped banging on about the food since. Everything that came to the table was amazing, especially the breakfast bao, and the sriracha bacon. Want to eat it all again. Great atmosphere and music as well, just...

What a great mix of bar and restaurant with great music. The service was excellent- for such a big group (10) we were very well attended by knowledgable and experienced staff. The menu- where do I start? Sampled lots of dishes and hard to choose...

Great bar! Loved the atmosphere and drinks. The food is unbelievable! Everything was very tasty and looked amazing. Will definitely be back soon to try more from the menu 😁

Visited for the first time on Saturday evening with friends whilst we were having a weekend away in Leeds. From the moment we entered the atmosphere was amazing - and we knew that we were in for a special evening. The food was outstanding -...

Absolutely amazing food, excellent service and lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommend a visit here.

Went for my birthday and was blown away by everything! The food is unreal, so tasty and fresh and the menu changes frequently meaning you have every excuse to keep going back! Highlights were the katsu bao, chicken gyoza and chicken rice. The service was...

Really tasty Asian food! Unique flavour combos. Candied bacon and chilli soy wings really good. The gyoza was also really tasty. Reasonable prices.

Delicious food and great service Attentive and friendly staff. Greeted when I walked in and had a drink at the bar whilst I waited for my friend. Best to order quite a few of the dishes to try a variety of food. All amazing

This new restaurant has rapidly become one of our favourite places to eat and drink!! We’ve visited three times since it opened in November (slight dimsum addiction!) Each time just gets better and better. I’d highly recommend the Chicken Gyoza and the breakfast bao, although...

Amazing food and the service was phenomenal. You need to try their Chicken Gyoza's which are next level. The whole staff was really friendly and the manager checked on us in the end which was a nice touch. He looks like Colin Farrel as well!

Brand new so decided to give it a go with a friend. The transformation of what used to be Normans is fantastic, really nice atmosphere, eclectic music, lovely staff. There's a small but comprehensive menu of essentially small ish plates with a few interesting takes...
