    Himself & I came into St. Stephens for a reason. We park, see that food shops and the movie theater…read morevalidate parking. We chose to eat here. Himself orders while I hold down a table. He comes right back and tells me they're out of rice. How are you an Asian restaurant and not have rice? Already my opinion of this place is going down. And then, as Himself is paying, that's when the guy decides to tell him that hey don't validate parking. Seriously? So how's the food? Well, they do have unlimited Diet Coke- but no ice What they do is get your noodle of choice, meat/veggies of choice and mix it into a wok w/ your sauce of choice. Then they put it into a box. The actual noodles aren't bad, the beef isn't good so don't order it. The pole is an uninspired Chinese style BBQ pork and the chicken is just chicken. I got a regular make your own box w/ 3 items as did Himself & with two drinks the total came to £19.90. However, it's a goodly amount of food and I'll have leftovers. I'm giving it two stars because they ran out of food and don't validate parking.

    My main reason for eating out so often is because I love food.

Wok & Go is a new restaurant that has opened in St Stephen's shopping centre. The atmosphere is loud, crowded, frenzied, has horrible seating (be prepared to share a table and make new friends) but it does have amazing and very flavourful food. Not just good, but amazing. The portions are enormous, the service is nearly nonexistent but efficient, and the menu is long and varied. All meals are prepared with a standard mix of raw ingredients based on noodles or rice, and packed into those little boxy take-away containers ready to be thrown into the frying pan. You can request extra ingredients plus a selection of sauces before it is cooked. Your meal is cooked in what look like authentic Chinese woks at the front of the restaurant, exactly as they do in cheap restaurants in China and you can watch if you like. There is a bit of a wait, as it is cooked fresh to order, but the taste clearly makes up for it. It tastes fresh and they don't add MSG. Chop-sticks are available as well as plastic cutlery. On the menu are various items, my favourite is the Teriyaki Lime Beef Salad Box. It is a warm beef salad with a Japanese soba noodle teriyaki sauce and a twist of lime. AND it's 98% fat-free for those of you that care about your health. This is also available with chicken or as a vegetarian option. I am a bit disappointed that they don't do more variety or vegetarian options in their menu as I would really like to try out a more varied selection of dishes. I do like that they do a special kids dish. One of the best things about the restaurant is that they stay open until 11PM and they offer a delivery service.

    Ensuring we grabbed a decent meal before the night ahead we chose here. The majority of reviews…read morewere nothing but glowing. On arrival it was manic but agreed to wait for 15 min on the side for a table. Overseeing the bar I caught glimpses of waterdowned cocktails being prepped and sent out cementing my decision not to try one. After 15min we were led down a busy stretch of faux tucs tucs and a seated against a a wall crowded with loot stuck to the wall. The menu had plenty to offer from dim sum, Thai fishcakes lots of variants of sea bass and all Thai dishes you could think of catering from meat eaters to vegans. I adore bubble tea so was madly curious to try a alcohol variant which was a boozy salted caramel. My other half ordered a havana rum. My partner received whisky rather than rum and mine was full of so much tapioca it spoiled it. For food my partner had the har kau prawn dumplings and pineapple rice with prawns. Myself pork sesame skewers along with prawn red curry. We both enjoyed the starters lovely texture and flavours besides the unhappy lettuce. Unfortunately the mains were weak. We had eaten pineapple rice in our weeks and Thailand and wanted to experience that same tastiness. It was just plain rice , under cooked veg and big prawns on the side.. not rice laced with pineapple etc.. my red Thai curry was more of a soup with basic flavour with also undercooked veg. I like to have some bite but not like this. The prawns were cooked nicely . Not once did anyone ask about our wellfare or food quality. Drone like they cleaned tables with lighting speed and took food orders churning the fast tables over. Overall very disappointed with despite the service charge they whacked on not very attentive and poor food quality.

    Really looking forward to this authentic thai street food experience, passed by the day before…read moreafter we had already eaten and on our way back to our hotel, seeing all the steaming dishes from the window, decided for our last night in Nottingham, we needed to come here. It was also located right round the corner to our hotel! On walking in, feels like you are entering into a little bit of Thailand. The welcome was friendly, with cute little Thai children, playing near the front, waving and smiling at you! We were seated at a table near the front of the restaurant but at the back, they had seating in tuk tuks, which seems to be for larger parties, or for four diners. I also noticed a railway track going through the restaurant. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly after we arrived after 6pm. Service seems to be hit and miss though. Took some time before our orders were taken, then when our food arrived it was lukewarm, not, as I noticed, steaming hot, like other diners were. It is probable that our dishes were prepared, but they had forgotten to bring it to our table, as our drinks took some time to arrive after reminding them twice, as they had not even arrived after the food arrived. The starter of Spicy Payaya Salad came at the same time as the mains. This was actually very spicy despite being told it was mild. I only like a hint of spice so was too much for me, but my partner like extra spicy, so great for him. Quality wise, I would not say the food was the best I had, it was quite average, and since my Prawn Pad See Aew was cold after a few mouthfuls, it felt like eating a cold soggy mess, their was no crunch in the vegetables and the noodles were more like short pieces of pasta, and not much prawns to speak of. My partner's Pad Gra Tium Prik Thai with marinated beef, was ok too, nothing to shout about either, again this was also cold after a few mouthfuls, as I watch other diners' enjoying their food, with constant steam swirling from it. Since there were no waiters in sight for quite a long length of time, we decided to eat it anyway. If food is supposed to be served cold, like salad, then you would expect it to be cold but not if food should be served hot, so this is disappointing. For dessert, we ordered the Khow Niew Ma Muang, sweet sticky rice and mango, topped with tapioca red bean paste, and sprinkled with seasame. Now, this was a delight, the sticky rice was so unexpectedly hot, it burnt the tongue! The mangoes was the right kind of ripe. Lovely. Also, what they did well is the coconut water. This is really the real thing, with bits of coconut and so satisfying and refreshing, that we ordered it twice! We were just unlucky with the service of our mains, did not come hot and fresh, or quickly, but would try them again on our next visit to Nottingham.
