If you are looking for an OK (but nothing to really write home about) steak in reasonable surroundings then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a bit of variety and a good price then go elsewhere.

Even more unbelievable is that soup and fried noodle dishes are also available included in the £12 price. No where near the quality of Yo Sushi! (see below), gili gulu offers a reasonable selection of dishes including many (suprisingly enough) raw fish dishes.

Set in an unlikely location, this restaurant has two levels, the basement serving modern European and the “Mezzonine” serving contemporary Asian, in a open and vibrant (read: noisy with lots of people about) environment.

The menu is a single large sheet only listing the various Tapas dishes they serve. Of particular interest are the Chorizo Sausages in Olive Oil and the Octopus. Don't be too deceived by the small number of tables on the main floor, the basement has far more.

It is a small, but clean restaurant just south of Oxford Street right near Oxford Circus. The food is quite good but does not quite have the sparkle of Wagamama (which perhaps explains why Soba has just one store).

The surroundings are modern and extremely functional making the restaurant extremely easy to visit and very welcoming. The food is tasty, if not large (though the soups are extremely generous), an interesting mix of various asian influences. The fresh fruit drinks are heavily advertised and quite tasty. text/html 2023-04-30T18:21:58+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/london/25 Review of 'Yo Sushi!'

A few small tables on the pavement (not recommended with the amount of traffic going by on Askew Road) outside give this restaurant an air of welcome about it.

So, when GroupOn came along and offered £20 for £40 worth of dim sum I was in. When I went to book the visit I found that the Dorsett branch was fully booked on all Sundays when I could use the coupon so ended up in the Ealing branch.
