Fantastic. Beautiful food, freshly prepared and cooked, can see the chef at work. Service great. COVID-19 secure. Felt really comfortable. Great upbeat music. Was lunch so had a mocktail which was refreshing. Hidden little gem in Standish
We had lunch there today and it was awesome I can not recommend it highly enough or fault it on any level. All of the food was flavoursome and just delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Go you won't be disappointed
Been wanting to eat here for some time . So brought up my mate from Liverpool who is an eating machine and also a top chef as I am a chef aswell. And my god did it deliver absolutely outstanding best street food we have ever had even as good as Michelin restaurant. Staff we great very knowledgeable we did try and eat the whole menu but we failed after 10 courses we nearly exploded, was great to see the chefs on display. Make this your priority as you next destination for food .
I’ve been to the Asylum a number of times and always great food, beer and atmosphere. Today I went with my wife and kids and we enjoyed the gyoza, beef brisket and the delicious curry hot dog. Staff are always friendly and the owners Martin and Paul are wonderful people. Highly recommended.
We visited Asylum on the 30 December, and really glad we did. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. There was a warm welcome from the staff, who found us a nice table, and gave fantastic table service. The food was amazing, so fresh and reasonably priced. We had a selection off five or six dishes off the menu along with a bottle of prosecco, the big was 63 , which was such good value. I would recommend a visit either just for a nice drink or sample the amazing food!!
I visited today with my 2 friends and our 6 year old and 10 month old. I’ve been many a times and i really love the food and atmosphere here, one thing i haven’t done is gone with children and i was a little apprehensive. Well i needn’t have been, the food was gorgeous as always, its was 1:30pm so the atmosphere was very chilled. The service was amazing, the man looking after us was even great when our children spilt not 1 but 2 drinks. He looked after us and set us back up so we could order our meals. Would i visit again yes i would, would i go with the kids again, absolutely!! my little one loved the chicken wings too. 5 from us
Bloody great spot this, food is really creative and tasty, with VEGAN OPTIONS We had the jackfruit gyozas, edamame beans and broccoli, all spot in. Reccomended!
Absolutely love this place, the atmosphere is fantastic!! The food is wonderful, lots of variety from around the world and the best Sushi I've had in a long time. The Prawnstar is scrumptious!!! The chicken fried rice is stunning and the cocktails are strong
