The Place

The Place

Sutton, Surrey

July 2024

This is 'The Place' in Sutton High Street which I accidentally came across.

Simple ambience and a few tables.

I was blown away by the choice on the menu and real chinese grub.

The Dim Sum starters are so unique and freshly cooked with so much flavour and variety to select. Just look at these:

 

The stuffed bean curd with prawns and aubergine was a delicious dish bursting with a large prawn inside and delicate texture...

 

Amazing... the pork is actually warm and succulent, moist and full of flavour. Faultless... best Cha Sui ever...

Excellent!

My favourite place to enjoy real chinese food on my own or with friends 🧡

Heen's Restaurant

Heen's Restaurant

Sutton, Surrey

May 2024

Heen's Restaurant provides authentic flavours of Peking and Szechuan cuisine. The head chef, with over 30 years experience, takes pride in creating traditional dishes. If there is something you would like that is not on the menu, they will create it for you and also create menus for any occasion or preference.

 

Cha Sui Pork, Crispy House Fried Noodles, Ma Po Tofu King Prawns with Scallop & Asparagus & Boiled Rice.

 

I was shocked how tasty the steamed Seabass in spring onions and ginger is. Perfectly steamed with the fish dipped in the juices making this a most tasty dish in Sutton. Not expected for a Sutton eatery and specifically prepared. Expensive treat but worth the experience at £28.

Ivy Asia - Castle View

Guildford - January 2024

In the heart of Guildford you can get all day dining and have a choice of modern British classics to Asian-inspired cuisine and fantastic vegan and vegetarian dishes. It has views across Guildford Castle, hence its name.

For Starters

spring rolls

king prawn

Satay chicken and duck spring rolls were delicious and really crispy and hot to bite! A great starter together with deep fried king prawns with a chilli dip.

Mains

squid & sea bream

Beautiful... steamed sea bream, ginger, spring onion and preserved chinese vegetables.

salmon

vegetables

Grilled salmon fillet cooked in teriyaki and sesames. A bit on the dry side and not very Asian in tastes.

dim sum

Dim Sum ... need I say more!

black cod

Baked black cod in leaves…super soft and flavoursome. Unusual dish, light and tasty.

wagyu beef

Wagyu beef was out of this world. Sensational flavours in a soya sauce base with spring onions. Expensive but worth it, a once in a lifetime treat!

pork belly

sliced pork belly

Pork Belly – crispy on the outside and succulent! Delightful texture and flavours. Worth the cost to have so much pleasure!

Expensive venue but worth it for something special. 

Need to book in advance as very popular.
