The best restaurants serving Asian food in England

Do not go here! Where to start…. I am reviewing this under the new name ‘Daily Noodles’. My partner and I went here for dinner, we ordered 5 dishes; Vegan Katsu Curry and Rice; Vegan Sticky Soy Chicken Bao Bun’s; Chicken Katsu and Rice; Hot and Sour Pork Dumplings; Katsu Fries. Initially, the dishes came quite quickly, however my partner was concerned with the Vegan Bao Buns when they arrived. It was different to Vegan Chicken she’d received in the past; so we quickly asked the waiter “is this the vegan bao bun”, he was quick to reply without actually looking at the food, stating that it was in fact the vegan option. I wasn’t convinced at this, so when the waiter came back with my Pork Dumplings (which were cold and semi raw), I asked again, if the Bao Bun’s were Vegan? Again, the waiter was quick to reply with a simple “yes”, without properly checking the product and quickly rushing back behind the counter. My partner was satisfied as she’d been reassured now two times, so she began to eat her Bao Bun’s. These turned out to be Chicken… I sent the dish back immediately, stating this was not vegan. The waiter abruptly took the dish back with a simple “sorry”, showing no empathy at all or remorse. A few minutes later my partner’s dish of Vegan Katsu Curry with Rice arrived - this again wasn’t vegan. This time the waiter’s response was “it looks like you have two normal Katsu curry dishes”. Again, no apology, no empathy. It took 20 minutes for my partner’s replacement bao bun’s to arrive, and this was only after I inquired into where they were. I am absolutely disgusted at not only the lack of due diligence taken into the preparation of food, the customer service and the management of this establishment. When I first arrived, I mentioned to the manager that I myself have a severe nut allergy, I was assured that this would be okay, and all the necessary precautions would be taken to avoid cross-contamination. At the end of my meal, after making a formal complaint into the fact that my partner ate chicken, after implicitly asking if her dish was vegan, he told me ‘none of menu contains nuts actually’. What kind of general manager doesn’t know allergens present in his restaurant? I do not recommend anyone, especially those with dietary requirements to visit here, due to their negligence, lack of care and overall lack of customer service.

Staff and food are great overall , but Veggie curries aubergine and the jackfruit are mostly sauce! Plus We were told we had to leave after 1 & 1/2 hours Surely 2 hours minimum for a meal.. otherwise ot feels like a conveyor belt. Come on Hoppers you are making enough money, always busy ! Stop being greedy!

I love this restaurant - charming atmosphere, amazing and authentic food. Sadly it hasn't been open for a while now, perhaps even since Covid in 2020. Does anyone have any news or an update? I'd love for this gem of a restaurant to open up again.

Amazing meal. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was of great standard and ample portions. 5 * quality. Would definitely return again

Best Thai green curry ever. Start with the dry ribs with roasted garlic and salt and you cannot go wrong. Been having work lunches here for over 10 years and it never fails to disappoint.

Standard Wagamama, fast and reliable. Lovely building with nice long tables. We had a lovely waitress who interacted nicely with my 11yo daughter.

Amazing food and great staff, lovely start to the day, thank you very much. best place to eat in London Victoria Station by far

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious! As the restaurant isn’t very big you get waited on very well and don’t have to wait for anything. We went for an early dinner as we had our 6 year old with us. They were so lovely with her and she also had a great time.

Ordered a take away, food was nice and great customer service too!

Ate here a few years ago and boy, how standards have slipped! We booked a table ahead of time and when we arrived, we were left standing at the entrance for what felt like at least 5 minutes. There was a member of staff that repeatedly walked past us but actively avoided looking at or acknowledging us. Eventually, another member of staff did show us to our table. The food is mediocre at best now, what you will find is that the balance is 80% rice or noodles, whatever meat you order will definitely be countable, with the odd bit of vegetables thrown in to tick the box. Their profile photo needs a serious update as that is paramount to false advertising. Unsurprisingly, getting the bill also took considerable time as that very same female member of staff continued with her antics. What was more annoying was when we paid. Not only do they charge a default 12.5% "service charge" whilst offering nothing of the sort, but as we paid in cash, they proceeded to short change us - as if charging once for non-existent service was not enough! Simply put, never again - plenty of better Asian or Japanese places in the immediate area. Even going hungry and fasting a little would be better than visiting this place...

Ordered takeaway chicken tikka massala - good. Pilau rice and garlic naan - good. The lamb Rogan Josh was on the menu as medium heat. No heat at all. Very few tomatoes and underseasoned as a whole Needed some salt. Lamb okay but could be less dry. Very light heat to Bombay potatoes. Delivery time - good. Price- good.

Delicious dosas, very reasonable & lots of variety. We came on a Monday evening the night before our son’s graduation & all loved it! There are no frills to the restaurant but it’s clean & the food is freshly cooked & delicious. Highly recommend.

Went here with friends, food was excellent and very tasty. Service was good. Take your own drink which makes it a cheaper evening.

2nd visit after a previously wonderful experience as a couple,this time with friends and family Total contrast .....greasy pakoras (3 portions on the table...no sauces) Bhajis ....some people's were raw ,one was burnt and raw inside My madras...a 60/40 mix of chicken pieces with huge chunks of tomato The naan bread was the only positive We were very disappointed The staff this time weren't any from the previous time and I'm not aware of it being taken over so why was it so slow ...the naan and rice coming out 5 minutes after the mains The restaurant wasn't full for a Saturday and we had an hour interval between courses Not knocking the staff but come on guys....you can get it right so why was this time so terrible ....won't be back I'm afraid

Had a takeaway from here and the portion was tiny (tofu). Wouldn’t go again
