Upper Crust Sandwich Bar in Ballymena

This was my first time here in many years, and it was nice to find food still of excellent quality and value. Fast service and cordial atmosphere. Tried the hot and sour chicken for the first time (haven't seen that anywhere else) and certainly not the last time and it was scrumptious. I'm not a local so would never be a frequent customer, but I will most definitely return in the future.

We had a gift voucher to use so we decided to come for lunch. The decor is very nice with all the bottles etc. It was not too busy when we arrived but filled up well, which is a good sign. The staff were very helpful, attentive and pleasant. The food was excellent too with ample portions, and the voucher took the sting out of the slightly high prices, but that's what makes gifts nice. The only criticism was the coffee, which was bizarrely badly made and I'm not a coffee snob by any means. Otherwise we were very pleased with the experience.

Brilliant, been using for years, fantastic food and service.

Just ate the worst meal ever. Special fried rice, without the fried rice basically. Stodgy boiled rice and you could've literally counted the grains,there was so little of it. Full of vegetables,in a single carton, barely any thing else. The Peking ribs tasted nothing like it, very sharp taste of vinegar, practically no meat just fat.Basic spring rolls,no flavour, literally bland. Nothing nice about any of this food.The only positive was the lady that served is was very nice.

Girlfriend ordered a chicken Maryland and it was very undercooked, me and my girlfriends brother ordered the 10 ounce ribeye steak and it was well of 10 ounces more like 6 ounces, girlfriends step sister had to ask for her order as they forgot it, my food was quite cold too when I got it, they acknowledged their mistakes gave us a free round of drinks and knocked of my girlfriends meal off the bill, for the prices of the food I expected it to be alot better, don't think il be back tbh
