About Rayu Pan Asian

On Newhall Street in Birmingham, Rayu Pan Asian serves a menu drawing from Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, spanning chicken katsu, bao buns, and sushi alongside teriyaki rice bowls and noodle dishes like basil chili and soba. The food is halal, and a prayer area is on site for those who need it. During iftar time, the kitchen gives out dates and water to diners. Meals start with wooden cutlery, though metal is brought on request, and fortune cookies are handed out on the way out. No service charge is added to the bill. The restaurant sits within walking distance of the Jewellery Quarter and St Paul's Square, and paid pay-and-display street parking is available directly outside on Newhall Street.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly return for the egg fried rice and loaded fries, with the sticky chilli tenders and K Town beef fries also drawing praise, close behind the sushi and baos that several mention by name. Noodle dishes come up again and again too, from basil chilli noodles to soba noodles, with reviewers describing them as fresh and full of flavour. Portions are consistently called generous, sometimes more than expected for the price, and fair pricing with no added service charge is noted more than once. One reviewer flagged that the bao bun could be softer and felt small for its price, and a few others mention being given wooden cutlery before staff quickly swapped it for metal on request. Several reviewers highlight halal availability and note extras like dates and water offered at iftar, fortune cookies given on departure, and staff checking back repeatedly during the meal. One diner closes on being handed fortune cookies on their way out.

    “Have tried others but this is the best Asian halal food I've had in brum. Had a selection of noodles, rice bowls, sushi and loaded fries. All the food was full of flavour and cooked very well. The kids finished everything so have their seal of approval. Nice walk in St Paul's square afterwards 👌”

    “We visited Rayu Pan Asian, a fantastic Asian fusion restaurant, for my son’s birthday on February 26th because he really wanted to try it out, and it turned out to be an amazing choice. Street parking around here can be a bit challenging with the pay and display system, but luckily we managed to grab a space right next to the establishment. As soon as we arrived, a gentleman gave us a warm welcome and seated us at a lovely table right next to the window. We ordered a feast including the Bai Chicka, katsu curry rice, Basil chili noodles, Soba noodles, Seaweed salad, Chicken Katsu fries, K Town beef fries, and a chicken katsu roll. To wash it all down, we enjoyed a great selection of drinks: Mango fruit tea, Passion Fruit tea, classic vanilla milk tea, Karma cola, and bottled water. Every single dish was fresh, incredibly delicious, and the kids absolutely loved it. The total bill came to around £109, which felt like excellent value for the amount of fresh food we received. They are open daily from 17:00 to 22:30, making it the perfect spot for an evening treat. It was a wonderful birthday celebration, and we will definitely be back! Five stars!”

    “Everything about this place simply blew me away. I came in from the US, where the halal Asian options are somewhat limited, and I came in with high expectations, which were easily met. The baos, the sushi, the rice and loaded fries all impressed me very much.”
