TST Oriental Bar & Restaurant in Leeds

One of my favourite places to eat, the food was delicious and very friendly and helpful staff. The best service anywhere, nothing was too much and always happy to please. Will be greatly missed.

Absolutely brilliant evening everything from service to food quality 10/10 such a shame they are retiring but hats off to them from running a fantastic restaurant for so long

Pre-ordered for New Year’s Eve, delivery for 8pm. Rang at 5 past to see how late they were running - presumed there might be a little delay given the night. They said half an hour. Rang again at 8,50 - said it will be at least another 45 minutes. I tried to talk to them and they said it was my fault for ordering on New Year’s Eve - pre-orders are given priority and then hung up on me. Now wont answer the phone. Not sure where we are now meant to get food from to eat tonight or if this takeaway will ever turn up.

We came for the weekday menu and were very impressed, especially with the ribs and the chicken with ginger and spring onions. Would definitely return.

Don’t usually complain about food but this was just unacceptable. I placed a delivery and when the food arrived it was all cold all the £30 I just spent on food. Salt and pepper ribs were a disgrace couldn’t bare to eat them, sweet and sour sauce cold, salt and pepper chicken cold. Everything was cold. Very unhappy and unsatisfied the only decent thing was the prawn crackers, as of this I shall not eat here again and do not recommend anyone to eat here!

The food is mind blowing. Seriously the freshest food I’ve ever tasted and so Amazing. The service is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Judith and Alan you are stars and deserve your success. Jessy fantastic as always 😁

We came here with friends and family and the food was excellent! The staff were super friendly too and service was really good! Will definitely be coming again in the future :)

Went last night for my wife's birthday. The food was delightful as always. This was our first visit since re-opening, well over a year since our last visit. We will definitely be back soon. The food and service are always first class.

Enjoyed a quiet early evening dinner for 2 here (formerly "Zen Rendezvous"). Cleanliness and hygiene precautions were first class. Food was of the usual excellent standard, superbly presented. Staff were helpful and friendly. Hoping to return soon.

Went here for a double date on my birthday and had a great time. The staff were very friendly, there was a nice atmosphere and the service was really good. The 3 courses deal was taken by 2 of us and was great value, getting a nice mix of starters, the choice of most mains with some noodles / rice. My main came wrong (ordered King Prawn but was given chicken), however, they corrected it immediately and I ended up getting 2 meals effectively so can't complain. The drinks were probably quality, we all had multiple cocktails, and enjoyed them all. They also brought us complimentary drinks and a nice little dessert to celebrate my birthday. If you're wanting a sociable night, I would recommend this place due to the drinks and staff. The food was good, and my only comment is that the music choice was quite odd (naughties R&B hits it felt like), which we really enjoyed but didn't necessarily fit the restaurant.

Had a great night tonight. Just love this restaurant. The food is amazing. And the cocktails are fantastic. Also great service. 😊😊

Pre-ordered a meal at 4pm for 8:35pm to ensure we would have an evening meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday and New Year’s Eve. Used their own website, the order was accepted and payment taken. Then received a message at 8pm, 35 minutes before our order was due to be delivered, saying or order was cancelled and payment refunded. Leaving us trying to find somewhere that will take orders at this time of night on New Year’s Eve will be very difficult. I called and they said the restaurant is closed even though their own online ordering system is accepting orders and online platforms are saying they’re open. Appalling service and extremely disappointing.

Fabulous Food Great wines Gorgeous Restaurant and well set out, Dim sum is delicious as was the scallops and prawns. Can’t wait to come back Thank you so much 😊

Myself and my other half found this restaurant by chance on Wednesday after calling around 30 restaurants closer to home who were all fully booked (understandably due to the Eat Out to Help Out scheme). We were given a time slot of 8.30-8.45pm but after realising it was a cocktail bar as well decided to arrive around 7.30pm. Luckily, it was no problem at all to have a drink in the bar area first so we delved into the cocktail menu and were also given the food menu to begin making our choice (which was very smart as there was soooo much to choose from). The cocktail menu is so well thought through with lots of the same ingredients being used throughout (which as former cocktail bartenders ourselves we know makes life so much easier for the bar staff) whilst still providing a huge range of choice. The food menu is extensive, providing so many options it was incredibly difficult to decide what to have as it all sounded so good. We eventually settled on a basket of Dim Sum, Wasabi Chicken and the sharing platter to start with. I then had King Prawn Chow Mein and my other half Teriyaki Lamb for mains. I can’t even explain how good the food was, you must just go to try it! If you love Chinese and Thai food as much as me, then you won’t find anywhere better in this area than this restaurant for quality and choice! The wine menu is also incredibly good for an oriental restaurant as we tend to find there isn’t usually much choice at Asian restaurants, however TST’s wine list was well structured and organised by country of origin with some great Italian choices (we’re completely biased towards Italian wine, other options were available). We were served by Judith (front of house) and Vincent (bartending) who were both absolutely lovely and obviously really cared how everything was for us, took the time to chat to us even though they were busy and couldn’t have done more to ensure we had a great meal. Whilst chatting with Judith, she mentioned the restaurant has been open for around 30 years and had a refurbishment last year. We are not surprised at all that this establishment has managed to maintain custom over 30 years, and the refurbishment to separate the place into bar and restaurant with a larger bar and high tables for cocktails pre-meal has obviously been a great idea as we weren’t the only couple choosing to drink with them before eating. There is also another bar upstairs (open Friday and Saturday nights) which we will definitely be visiting as soon as we get chance! Thank you so much for an amazing experience, lovely evening and the best oriental food I’ve eaten in a long time! We can’t wait to return.

Tonight was the first time we had a meal I hadn’t had to cook since isolating from the beginning of March. It was wonderful!!! I can’t wait to go back and eat in the restaurant after my husband came back after picking up our takeaway. and said that the precautions for Covid were so good he would feel safe taking us there for a meal in the restaurant. . I can’t wait to visit.

Not great not as good as reviews say the food did not taste as fresh as it could I think they are heating the food in microwave wont be ordering from there again

No notification or reason as to why the delivery was declined, so we waited until the time it said it was supposed be here and checked the app to find out it had been cancelled, plus £4.90 for a delivery is outrageous. Will never try...

Tough times with everything going on in this country and in this world but together we support each other and we pull through. Tst is such a quality place offering amazing food from people who truly care we all need to keep eating their food,...

We had a great meal tonight together with attentive service - would highly recommend the tapas - everything was cooked to perfection & full of flavour. It was such a shame there were so few diners in what is usually a busy place. Great value...

Superb meal: excellent fresh produce, lots of rich, delicate, sweet, sour and hot flavours and lovely genuine service. Surprised how good this was - one of the best Chinese I’ve eaten in the UK

Tried the tapas plates. Chose six different dishes all excellent and presented so nicely we even had a bottle of wine included with the tapas. Will certainly be returning soon. All the staff were extremely helpful.

Visited last night with friends for a birthday meal. Service was brilliant throughout. Even got a birthday cocktail and ice cream with a sparkler on the house. Nice touch. Food was all lovely and tasty and good portion sizes too. We had 2 children with...

Absolutely love the food. Can sit and relax and have a few cocktails before dining. The team really look after you.

Lovely meal here. Great margarita cocktails to start with. Thumbs up from our daughter for the wok-fried gyoza and the bean curd. Ma lat mains were very good and delivered the promised tongue tingle! Banana fritters to finish. Yum yum!

We have been here a couple of times since our initial visit and all our dishes have been amazing. Early Bird is excellent value for money. Starters; I had Salt & Pepper Mushrooms on both occasions and they were delicious. My husband was blown away...

Hadnt been since the change and looking at some mixed reviews we were a little unsure as we used to love Zen and more especially the quality of the food but I want to give a fair and honest review . First of all the...

Just had a wonderful evening at the TST Oriental bar ,food was wonderful and the staff so helpful . Our friends always like to have a good place to celebrate the Chinese new year , and this place did not let us down .. Many...

Our first time coming here and we will definitely be returning! The service was superb and the atmosphere is really nice. Would recommend the shredded duck in plum sauce and the chicken ma lat. The cocktails are great too.

We were concerned about the rebranding from Zen Rendevous as that was one of our favourite restaurants, but TST is just as good! The staff are extremely friendly and chatty and the atmosphere is lovely, so beautifully decorated. We had the starter, main and dessert...

The food quality is out of this world. The owners and staff very friendly and obliging. Pure quality

I booked this restaurant not realising it had changed its name and owners,looked on tripadvisor reviews after booking and was a little concerned with the mixed comments. I needn’t have worried,from the minute we walked in,it was a warm smile from the barman and then...

After many years of visiting Zen Rendezvous Chinese Restaurant we were taken aback to find it transformed into an Oriental Bar - with a restaurant. The welcome was lukewarm, and the service cool. We were seated close to the window where we also found the...

Totally blown away by this place. A hidden Gem!! Food quality amazing. Top notch Asian food. High end restaurant. Great bar. All drinks spot on. Came for my daughters birthday. Had a lovely time. All staff made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come...

This was called Zen before. It was a friendly restaurant made welcome by their then Manager Simon Lee. Unfortunately with the new revamped and renamed TST, Simon is no longer there. The food is not as good as before as I am not sure if...

To be fair the staff are lovely and the decor beautiful. The place seemed pretty full of people enjoying themselves and the bar cocktails looked good but surely the main theme of a restaurant should be the food and it was awful - bland and...

This was our first visit since it became TST and we were not disappointed. The decor is lovely, and is very warm and welcoming. There is a seating area, near the bar, where you can enjoy some fabulous pre-dinner cocktails. The menu is extensive and...

Came here with some friends after a recommendation. While I think I ordered the wrong dish - it was very dry, while I would have preferred a sauce - the meat was well cooked and the gyoza were very nice.

We had some lonely cocktails at this newly refurbished oriental restaurant in Guiseley. I had the expresso Martini and my friend had the famous Wan Cha Suzi Wong! Lol 😂 But was actually very tasty!! (Must try!) We was then given a smoking shot called...

Can't understand the change! The restaurant area is so squished up! My friend had her back to the flow of waiting traffic who kept knocking her chair, the guy on the next table may as well have been sat on ours! You can't go there...

We have visited TST twice since they opened, once as a group on a Saturday in September and once as a couple during the week in October. Both trips, we were very impressed. A warm welcome and friendly service, great selection of traditional and modern...

Can’t believe how they’ve destroyed our favourite Chinese restaurant!!! We’ve been an avid customer for 20 years. Pricing is ridiculous and menu totally uninspiring !!!! You can’t mergeChinese/Thai together as they are totally different. If I wanted to eat Thai I would go to a...

I have been a regular visitor to Zen since 2003 and the new TST look is amazing. Also the food and service excels - me and my wife tried the new look TST tonight and were blown away - if you like amazing food coupled...

Omg this has always been AMAzing food but following the recent refurbishment it’s just upped its game . We are foodies and travel the world and can honestly say it’s up there in out to 3 best ever ... seriously got to try it fabulous...

Excellent venue for a stylish evening gathering with good food and drinks. Service was welcoming and warm. Oriental food with a modern twist of fusion with western style. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Visited TST for the first time with a friend. We were looking forward to trying the 2 before 19:45 deal (£16.50 for two courses). We were seated on time but it took almost ten minutes for us to be given menus and offered drinks. Service...

As avid diners at Zen, we were a bit taken aback at the rebranding of the nowTST. It’s like being in a black hole and a feeling of being underground. Very different and certainly makes a statement Arrived at 7.30 ish to a restaurant not...

Well my wife and myself went to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We have been customers of Allan for over 20 years from the old days of Rendezvous. What a surprise Allan and his wife have made the impossible possible, with the new menu, food presentation...

This was our first visit to the New TST restaurant. We loved the decor and new Menu. Still a few classics on the menu from the old Zen menu but definitely worth a visit. The food quality is still just as good as before. My...

Second visit to TST. Went to Zen many times over the years and enjoyed it. TST is a differentRestaurant, more western, better quality food, better service. On the 2 before 7.45 it’s excellent value, service excellent, drinks fair price, food generous portions and SO TASTY,...

Just as good as it as always been , food and service first class , and the prices are good value for money.

Beautiful food, great service and nice decor shame there is no draught beers. Will visit again though

Visited this Chinese restaurant for the first time under its new branding. Four of us were taken to the table with ladies being given rose mojito. We had tempura king prawns, Vietnamese spring roles, Shanghai soup and spring roles. Chicken curry, beef in black bean...

First visit to TST and we turned up on a Friday evening on the off chance of getting a table having not had a booking. It was very busy, but despite this we were quickly welcomed and told that although they had no tables free...

We moved to the area a year ago and were delighted to have such a good Chinese nearby in Zen Rendezvous. We hoped that not too much had changed in the refit but were disappointed. Firstly the good points - the food is delicious and...

As a long standing customer of Zen Rendezvous - now TST I was not disappointed. Fabulous cocktails - we had french 75 and Pink Panthers. Absolutely amazing food. Tempura vegetables, followed by hot and sour prawns. Both bar staff and table staff couldn’t have done...

As monthly visitors to Zen for nearly 20 years, myself and my friend visited the new TST tonight for the first time since it reopened. After ordering, we were sat waiting nearly 30 minutes for starters to arrive. Vietnamese rolls were 3 small flat rolls...

Lovely food, but came that quick was it already made. The food came on dark plates so you was unable to see what you was eating with any pleasure. The new deco all black,nothing pretty to look at. lighting was sparse so made it feel...

Been watching what's happening to the Zen Rendezvous during it's refurbishment and curious to see what it's new life would be. I saw it was open on Friday so we dropped in on Bank Holiday Monday evening for dinner. It's had a stylish refresh and...

Absolutely unbelievable meal - been to the previous Zen Rendevouz many times but this really was a step up!! The whole place has been revamped and provides a cool chilled atmosphere - the food was also 10/10 with top customer service as usual by Alan...

We have been really looking forward to trying the new TST Bar & Restaurant... and it was worth the wait! Amazing Cocktails and Delicious food from a fantastic new menu with the same professional friendly service.... Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
