Number 11 : Super Rullband

Food should be fun and this place certainly kept me entertained. A sushi restaurant where all the dishes move past you on a conveyor belt and you take the ones you want before they move off in to the distance.



Being a first timer I needed to have the whole system explained to me first but in the end it was all quite simple. Every dish you choose comes on a plate (be it sushi, a cooked dish or dessert) and at the end the waitress/waiter counts up how many plates you have taken and charges you accordingly (you pay per plate). I did plan to only eat four plates but someone in the kitchen seemed to keep on sending things I liked zipping past my head on the conveyor belt and it wasn't long before I had 8 empty plates piled in front of me.
Aside from the sushi on conveyor belt you could also choose warm dishes. These also came on little plates and count as part of your overall final plate count.

I enjoyed it and it certainly kept my mind alert. As the food went past I had about 5 seconds to assess if it was vegetarian, was it something I liked and did I want to eat it? If it was a YES then I had to lift up the little hatch and grab it before it went past. It is almost like the luggage belt at the airport. If you miss your dish then it comes round again in a few minutes time. Also the staff are helpful and say that if there is any dish that you miss or someone else takes then you just have to ask and the Sushi chef will make it especially for you.
There was one moment when I was about to take a nice tofu sushi but the person in front of me snatched it first but thankfully there was another one a few plates down the line.

Clean and fresh with helpful staff, worth a try just for the pure fun of it.

Would I go back here? Yes, it was fun. I had to concentrate a lot though on catching my food so do not think I was the best of company.

Number 10 : Sukhothai


They say never to judge a book by it's cover. I always seem to create an opinion of a restaurant  by what I see through the window or how it looks from the outside. Sukhothai has no windows to look through as it is located in a basement. So it was with in-trepidation that I carefully opened the large door with no idea as to what I would find inside.


Possibly it was just like being in Thailand... have never been though.

And upon entering... I was really impressed! You walk down a small flight of stairs and enter a very cosy and authentic Thai restaurant. Not that I have even been to Thailand but... it felt Thai ;-) The food was freshly cooked and of a great taste, I also had a refreshing cocktail as well to wash it down with. Friendly service and a nice relaxed atmosphere made it even more pleasant. I'm not sure if it was a family night but each table seemed to have a baby at is as well so you can throw in "child friendly" for those of you with kids. The menu was broad and everything could be cooked vegetarian as well if requested so I was more than pleased.

I will definitely be going back there again and I recommend that you give it a try as well if you have not already done so.
