KOKORO opened up their latest branch on Exchange Walk in Nottingham recently serving Japanese hot food, sushi and snacks. They are located on the snicket between the Church and the Old Market Square about half way up and pretty easy to spot. It might be unkind to describe them as a slightly posher version of…

Zaap Thai Market – Grab and Go Menu
Zaap Thai Market on Upper Parliment Street in Nottingham opened back in the Summer selling a good range of Asian Food products alongside Zaap Thai ready meals from the Zaap Thai Restaurant just around the corner.

Checking out the Vietnamese food at Coco Tang
Coco Tang tucked away along Byard Lane in Nottingham is the last of the local Vietnamese food spots that I had left to try. The rest of the current gang being Viet 80’s, Wonder Pho, Pho, and Hello Vietnam (Bun Mii and Vietcentric seem to have passed on) I read that it was designed to…
Noodles and Dumplings at Kofuku House
Kofuku House down the bottom of Hockley is the latest Asian cafe to hit the streets of Nottingham. Run by owners Yammie Ng and Adrian Ning who plan to specialize in the traditional foods from Hong Kong keeping it as authentic as possible.

Notts Noodles formerly known to us as Lanzhou Beef Noodles finally re-opened their doors this week to serve us more of their fantastic hand-pulled noodles.

Umai Oriental Street Food – Takeout
Umai Oriental Street Food Cafe in the Oriental Mart is a great place to pick up a bit of Asian Street Food. I have been here a lot and have blogged about them a couple of times already (read more here and here) If you collect and eat inside it is great value, but if…
Beef Brisket Noodle Soup at Yang’s
Yang’s Braised Chicken Rice in Nottingham might well be known for it’s signature dish ‘Braised Chicken Rice’ but they do also offer Soup Noodles on the menu. Now most of you well know that I am a total sucker for a bowl of noodles so it will be no surprise that I am back upstairs…
