Was Seacroft at Hare And Tortoise a mag?
My roast duck and rice with vegetables was excellent. The duck was succulent and beautifully crispy. Vegetables were a little over cooked. My wife's salmon was tender. And my daughter's chicken curry was faultless. Huge servings. Great value for money. 28 pounds for three people. View all feedback.

What chandraviolin dislikes about Hare And Tortoise:
The sushi was just....wrong. Overcooked rice and very poor ingredients, full of mayo and sauce. The fried dishes were terrible, soft and greasy, as if they had been cooked an hour ago. In general a very mediocre experience, with loud music and not great service.There's much better restaurants in Ealing, just go down the street to Kobe. View all feedback.

My experience at the Hare and Tortoise on a Friday evening was fantastic. Despite the restaurant being very busy, we were seated quickly. The service was efficient and the food was flavorful. Overall, it was excellent, great value, and I would definitely return.

Ealing Broadway is just one of the six locations of this Japanese restaurant chain. The ambiance is laid-back, but the service is fast. The food is excellent, with a diverse menu featuring sushi, noodles, Ramen, and Udon. Conveniently located near Ealing Broadway tube station, this restaurant is a great option for a pleasant meal with friends or a significant other.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! I always go for the Curry Laksa as my main dish. The Octopus Lolly Pop Sticks are a nice appetizer and the Gyoza are delicious. The Curry Laksa is a triumph, with its coconut soup base. The staff turnover seems high, but they do the job. I like to treat myself here every 6 months. It's all about the amazing taste!

Never thought I would find such a place in Ealing. Loved the restaurant and food was great. Didn't have to wait too long as well. Highly recommend.

The food was really good, I had the duck which was really good and crispy. Better half had sushi plate which she said was good too! Food did come at very different times..so an improvement there..

At Ealing's popular Japanese chain, expectations run high for a delightful culinary experience. However, recent visits indicate a scattershot performance, with some patrons disappointed by inattentive service and slow drink arrivals. While dishes like chicken karaage and sushi garnered praise, the Pad Thai fell short, described as excessively salty. The atmosphere is a balance of casual and chaotic, prompting a mix of reviews regarding staff efficiency and English proficiency. Though the food can be flavorful and well-priced, consistency appears to be the key issue, making this establishment a gamble for those seeking a reliable dining experience.

I came in with my family as my wife is craving for Japanese cuisine. The first thing I noticed is that none of the staff that assisted us have a name badge which is a shame as the person that helped us is very good. My wife ordered chicken karaage, mix tempura, dragon roll and chicken teriyaki and I ordered Pad thai. The chicken Karaage, teriyaki and dragon roll is good but it is missing a wow factor. The mix tempura is a disappointment, it only has 2 shrimp, long beans, bell pepper and a mushroom. The Pad Thai is a waste of money. It is too fishy and too salty, I was unable to even finish a quarter of it. This dish really needs to be revised, total disappointment.

Upon entery, the restaurant was filled and very crowded. We joined two family members who already had a table so we didn’t have to wait which was good. The waitresses were very unfriendly and never had a smile on their face so service wasn’t the best. I don’t think that establishments like these see the significance of service and how important it actually is to make an experience much worse or better. The food was good and we had some sashimi, miso soup and I had an eel and rice dish which was okay. Overall, wouldn’t come again, not a friendly environment and felt very cheap. Not happy.

Friends and I have been there a couple of times as it’s a good location for us to meet up there. To be honest, as I’m a SE Asian and travelled around the region quite a lot. The food there is very average. The good things is that some are keen on Chinese food and some like Thai food or some are sushi lovers, so you would easily agree to go to this place for food. This time I had seafood Ramen and very disappointed as there is nothing like ramen rather than chef threw a pack of quick cook noodles in a tasteless soup and added some cooked mussels, prawn, salmon and calamari. Although my English friend liked his Chinese Hoi -Sin lo mein and my Italian friend only eats Pad Thai noodles from this part of the region. We had a bottle of Tempranillo was not so good either. Staff are helpful and professional.

Good range of dishes with decent portion sizes. All the dishes I have eaten here are good and tasty without being exceptional. I would revisit.

My experience at this restaurant for an early dinner was quite disappointing. When we arrived, there were no other customers present, but a few came later on. The lack of atmosphere was noticeable, as there was no background music playing and only the sounds of the staff moving about. The menu options were limited and the food itself was very basic, lacking in presentation and flavor. It seemed as though the dishes were simply thrown together in the kitchen. The service was also mediocre. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant, at least not based on my visit.
