Description

The restaurant, formerly known as Time Out Cafe, has moved and rebranded. The food, while decent, doesn't quite live up to expectations set by photos. The decor is lacking cleanliness, with uninterested staff and dirty windows. However, the menu offers a variety of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dishes, making it a potential spot for Instagram-loving customers. Other reviewers found the food delicious and commendable, especially the octopus balls, wasabi squid, and spicy chicken dishes. Some expressed disappointment with the flavors, but prices are reasonable. Overall, the atmosphere is cozy and inclusive, making it a favorite spot for many in Nottingham.

That's a small piece of jewelry. if they have only 1 thing, they make it the spicy korean chicken tapas. Of course, the problem is, you will never be able to have only one, there is too much to choose. it is enough from the tasting quite good to this condition where they no longer want to eat because they have the perfect taste in their mouth. be warned, but some dishes do not mix well. fried oktopus with a side of truffle chips was not my best choice.

Came here on soft open and his beautiful as always. I thought the menu would change a bit with the place of timeout, but it is the same; not a complaining though. more beautiful place to sit and chat with friends, no games like in timeout, not sure if they were now. Drinks were nice and the atmosphere and the music is relaxing. is obviously back

Amazing atmosphere, interesting dishes with a home cooked feel that taste incredible, great portions, a lot of drinks and inclusivity for vegetarian, also and everything is affordable. besides: also on point aesthetics.

I had heard a lot about this restaurant so I decided to give it a try to see if the reviews were accurate or just paid for marketing. The menu offered a variety of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dishes. While the dishes looked appealing for taking Instagram photos, I found them to not be the most authentic or flavorful. The service was okay, but it seemed like the staff was more attentive to Asian students, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, my visit was decent but not as amazing as others had made it out to be. The prices were reasonable, but the decor was a bit lacking, with tables needing a clean and the floor needing attention. While the food looked better than it tasted, it would be a good spot for younger, Instagram-loving customers.

I visited this restaurant when it was known as Time Out Cafe and decided to give it another try after it was renamed and relocated. The food was decent, but didn't quite match the pictures and some ingredients were missing. The staff seemed uninterested in cleaning the tables and the journey to the restroom felt like climbing up to someone's apartment. The windows were dirty and the carpet on the stairs was messy. Overall, the floor was in poor condition.
