Nu Aysia chinese/oriental, Westcliff, Essex restaurant review

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant in Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff, for a long time, as it looks modern and promising.  Once inside, we felt the interior was pleasant and comfortable with nice lighting and we were welcomed with a smile. 

We had the dim sum basket to start which was lovely.  But [...]

Review of Chiang Mai Thai restaurant, Southend-on-sea, Essex

chiang mai thai restaurant southend on sea essex great food

We really love this restaurant and it is our firm favourite in Southend on sea. If we want more of a night out, then we go to Leigh on sea or Hamlet court road, but this little place is a gem, and such good value.

Although [...]

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.

The staff are friendly and the interior is fairly small, with wooden tables and chairs, but comfortable enough. We had a Thai salad and Thai chicken curry, and found it authentic.

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 [...]

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 [...]
