The best restaurants serving Asian food in Bristol, City of South West

I hate having to give a low review for what’s clearly a nice family run restaurant but our experience was less than optimal. Given the prices are quite high I don’t think this could be justified without me writing a review and giving some constructive feedback. To start the young waiter is very friendly, but because he is the only one serving he’s rushed. We didn’t get given menus when we were sat down, we were given some about 15 mins later by the older gentleman when he saw we hadn’t been given any yet. The starter took an hour to arrive. When it did it was tasty, but waiting that long for a starter kind of ruins the experience. Because there is only one waiter, there was no one checking if we were ok, or wanted any more drinks while we waited etc- which is what you would expect when the wait time was this long. We then waited another 50ish mins for mains and I didn’t enjoy mine- again the wait time ruined things. Because it was in a stone bowl it remained really hot, and I had to wait another 20 or so minutes for it to cool so I could eat. I get that this is how the dish is traditionally served and it would not have been an issue if the wait time had not been so long- but again the wait time ruined the experience. It looks to be one lady doing all of the cooking so I understand why there was a long wait- but this isn’t the way you can run a modern restaurant, especially with the higher prices. They need far more staff in both the kitchen and front of house. The restaurant is also cash only which isn’t the most convenient. Very disappointed, especially because we went out of our way to try this place after hearing good reviews. Update- I’ve thought about this more since writing the review and realised, as has happened at other restaurants, the decent thing to do after we waited so long would be to knock a percentage off the bill or give us some free drinks. Neither were offered. So very disappointed and will stick to my usual spots from now on.

Really enjoyed this!! we visited on Saturday night without a reservation. They were happy enough to squeeze us in and we had a really unbelievably pleasant meal with all the flavours of Sri Lanka cooked to perfection and lovely environment. We actually really enjoyed it. It was really good fun give it a try.

Have dined in and gotten takeout from this place multiple times. Really great food! Really recommend the lamb kottu

Lea was phenomenal, just really made our evening

Excellent authentic Korean food, friendly staff with a relaxed vibe. It's a tiny restaurant with a menu designed for sharing

We arrived late with no booking and they were able to seat us outside. The food was fantastic and the service was just as good. Highly recommend. We had all vegan food

Very good food, higly recommended for vegetarians and vegans, there is an entire vegan menu. The service was excellent.

Good quality meat and flavours, Second time I have placed order and will definitely come back for more. Would highly recommend.

Really good meal here as always - coops and marina gave us great service

He estado yendo aquí/ordenando comida para llevar de estos chicos durante años porque son absolutamente brillantes. La comida es realmente maravillosa y el servicio es impecable, especialmente Shah que siempre es atento, amable y da grandes consejos sobre los numerosos platos maravillosos. Siempre tratamos de ir al menos una vez al mes (y por el momento tienen una gran oferta en comer entre semana lunes/jueves 5). 30 - 9 . 30 por lo que consiguió un 30% de descuento en nuestra deliciosa comida habitual). ¡¿Qué es no amar?!

I ate it because I was hungry, not because I liked it. Too much salt, small portions.

As always spice bazaar was perfect ! Tasty fresh and hot food . I can’t fault this place !

We stumbled into the pub by chance and were very pleased. We had burgers and super tasty mozzarella sticks.
