Food Variety and Cuisine

Pros:

  • "There was Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese food on the 1st floor."
  • "Absolutely phenomenal food, extremely authentic Thai food in particular."
  • "Asia Asia is a nod to the food halls across East Asia. The food is authentic and tastes amazing."
  • "Fab selection of East Asian cuisines, menus in English as well as each stand's native language."

Cons:

  • "But....stay well away from the Thai bee! ...now its dangerous...and i would not be surprised if they are using msg in the food."
  • "Ordered the Sakura Set menus A, B, and C. Prices and food were different from what is published on the website."
  • "Wanted an Asian food court like the one in Colindale London, but was a bit disappointed with this place."

Payment System

Pros:

  • "The use of a pay as you go card is a great idea and any money left over just means you have to come back."
  • "You pick a vendor, hand over your top-up card and they give you a vibrating, buzzing device which alerts you to collect your food when it's ready."
  • "Really like this place. A weird setup where you get a card on entry, add money to it which is then taken off as you buy food and drinks."

Cons:

  • "Only issue is that you need to pay a deposit on a card and once you put any money on the card using your debit, it's on there forever."
  • "It's not that cheap, with an old school system of loading a currency card so make sure you bring cash."
  • "Complicated, with having to return to the first floor from the second floor where I had ordered my food, you can only order with a top-up card."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "The staff was very helpful especially since I was a first-timer."
  • "The people in Golden Bar are nice and speak fluent English and Cantonese."
  • "Every staff member we have spoken to has been really polite and helpful."

Cons:

  • "Atmosphere 8/10, value for money 4/10, presentation 2/10 the worst I have seen. Staff can't speak or aid anyone with the choice of food."
  • "What made it worse was the 2 guys behind the counter, not taking their eyes off their mobile phones."
  • "The Korean kitchen is understaffed because delivery orders are much more important than dine-in orders."

Overall Experience

Pros:

  • "Been here multiple times, good selection of food available from multiple different vendors."
  • "Asia Asia Food Hall just captures it for me, great freshness, pure flavors, an endearment to authentic culinary delight."
  • "I like that this place has a lot of different types of food to suit different tastes."

Cons:

  • "Ordered from Sakura Japanese through Deliveroo while we're in lockdown. Food was excellent quality and arrived within 45 minutes as promised."
  • "I use to frequent this place very often and at the beginnings, the food was lovely, I'm referring to the Korean food counter. However, for the last few months everything went extremely downhill."
  • "The concept is great, and it seems like an authentic experience although the food I had was fairly average."
