  “Food took 2hrs 15mins to arrive and was cold when it got here. I use the Richmond regularly but tonight will be the last time. 3 phone calls when food hadn't turned after 1 hr 30 to be told it's busy? Tell me when I order so I can go elsewhere. Disappointing”

  “Went for dinner on Sunday. I'd been keen to try this place as it looked good & always relatively busy. We were in time for the pre-theatre so ordered from this as it seemed like decent value. The menu itself lets it down. Neither starters or mains have any explanation of what things are so unless you're familiar with their particular offerings, you would have no clue what you were ordering unless you asked. I did have to ask what a "curry puff" is (as a starter) and what another couple of mains were, which clearly annoyed/stressed the waitress, but she explained as best she could so that was fine-ish. The curry puff is basically their poor answer to a samosa; best described as curry mush wrapped in a triangle shaped filo pastry parcel & deep fried. Horrible. Salt & chilli wings; can't go wrong really. The drinks were terrible; diet cola so dilute it looked like weak tea. The mains came with a generous portion of rice but that's the only positive sadly. The lemongrass in the red Thai curry was so overpowering it tasted like creamy washing up liquid. The shredded chicken whatever it was, was just not good. Had they asked, we'd have told them but they were too busy attending to a large birthday party to come back to us obviously. They never even asked or gave time for us to mention this when they came to clear our still-quite-full plates. To top that, our after dinner coffees were served with gone-off cream which immediately split when poured into my hot drink. They immediately offered a replacement when I got up to approach them, but obviously I'd been very put off by that time and declined. This was apparently the end of the matter for them! No further offer of compensation & immediately started dealing with another customer indicating she had no intention of further discussion. We will never be back & I suggest that if you'd like to be sure of what you're eating and that it's been cooked with fresh ingredients, you look elsewhere.”

  “The lunch menu for 2 courses is very reasonable at £13.50. Service is good and staff are attentive. Portion size is good, particularly the rice. The curry was a little bland, and it was definitely lacking something. Will return and would recommend.”

  “First time trying the richmond. We had the 3 course set menu. For starter i had turkey noodle soup and my wife had the volcano chicken my soup was nice and my wife loved her wings i tried them and the flavour was good but not spicy at all. Main course i had orange chicken and my wife had beef and black bean the orange chicken was really nice but the black bean was a little bland and myself and my wife thought the beef was really tough it came with large serving of fried rice the rice was nothing different from any fried rice i have had. We also ordered a side of chips they were ok and we both had a soft drink each. We paid £61 but we did notice there was a 10% service charge first time i have I've had this dont see the point paying a service charge when dining in the prices are already higher than takeaway prices. Thats why i never left a tip as there was a service charge.”

  “I haven't eaten here since I was a teenager, with my parents, and decided to go here for my 5 year anniversary with my partner, recently. The atmosphere is romantic, peaceful and feels that you are eating somewhere special. Staff are polite, and serve food promptly. Food was brilliant. We had chicken noodle soup, ribs, then our main courses of chicken satay, and sweet and sour chicken, and everything was of high quality. Place attracts both couples and families. Seems it is popular for special occasions like big birthdays and anniversaries, as a family was celebrating a 60th, and another family were doing a birthday cake as well at another table, so highly recommend.”
