Rak Chang Thai Restaurant review, Leigh on Sea

Rak Chang main meal

This new contemporary Thai restaurant opened early 2010, so we tried it out. It has stiff competition with the longstanding Manolys restaurant up the road (which has had a refurbishment this year), but it has brought a fresh approach and it has worked.

The interior is smart, yet cosy and the chairs [...]

Royal Thai Inn, Thai Restaurant review, Benfleet, Essex

This restaurant is set out in a nice thai style and we have visited a few times. They are efficient and it is reasonably priced. The food is good, but not always authentic, particularly the Pad Thai noodles and curries. Having said that, it is enjoyable, and we tend to go there for convenience, rather [...]

Soya Oriental Restaurant, Leigh on Sea, Essex

Soya leigh salmon main course

This boasts oriental fusion food in contemporary surroundings, and it does deliver just that. We have only been the once so far, but really enjoyed it and will be back. They also say that they use fresh ingredients and use less MSG (Monosodium Glutamates), which is good, although we always [...]

Chaba Thai Restaurant review, Westcliff on Sea, Essex

This was Thai Nava, which we had been to a few times before. Now, as Chaba, it is similar, as the interior has not really changed, and nor has the food quality.

I quite like the tables with the see through glass, so that you can see the decorations inlaid within, and it is fairly comfortable. [...]

Tudor Thai Restaurant review, Leigh on Sea, Essex

Tudor Thai interior

I have been to the Tudor Thai only once, and I was quite pleased with the food and service.

I have not been [...]

Gold Coast Chinese restaurant review, Southend on Sea, Essex

The Gold Coast is situated on the Eastern Esplanade and it does retain the custom of people on business staying nearby as well as local customers. I have been a few times, once on a karaoke party night for a buffet, but also for a la carte meals. I don’t find it over friendly, but [...]

Hasina Indian restaurant review, Eastwood, Rayleigh, Essex

The Hasina has been around for many years and has a very substantial local custom. I have been many times, and had some great food. The restaurant is set out in the traditional way, with Indian features and booths separated with glass dividers embossed with Indian scenes. This is a very cosy restaurant with comfortable [...]

The Great Wall Chinese, Southend on Sea, Essex restaurant review

I have been to the Great Wall only this one time, but it was quite good. For a Wednesday night, it was busy and they had a birthday party booked in, but being only a small restaurant, they cannot hold too many people. They were efficient and the food was nice. We had the starter [...]
