"Visited here with family one Saturday. The decor of the restaurant is very tired and dated. We sat in the window which meant we were by the door, which wasn’t the best spot. We all went for the banquet meal. The orders were taken very properly. The starter platter was really nice. Delicious ribs, prawn toast, seaweed, chicken and spring rolls. The quantity of seaweed wasn’t enough for six people. The duck course came next which I didn’t eat but again the servings weren’t matched up for six people, the salad was tiny as was the plum sauce, not enough to feed our group and that was with one of us not having the course after all. The mains were all quite tasty and plenty of rice. We liked the lazy Susan for the table which was handy. The service was a little poor, nobody collected used glasses so we had to pile these up in the windowsill, when staff brought fresh drinks they ignored the unclear empty ones we had to ask for these to be cleared eventually. One of the draft beers went off after two drinks, this came back on shortly but the staff never mentioned this to us, they did apologise. Ordered a Chinese beer and brought the wrong one, staff member apologised again. Diet Coke was served in a can which was warm. Soft drinks quite small in size. Had an irritating loud party seated next to us which wasn’t the restaurant’s fault, but it was a bit of a nuisance spoiling the atmosphere. The food was nice here but based on the service and atmosphere I wouldn’t return."

"We come here a lot so I have based this review on our overall experience over recent years but also to make people aware of a ridiculous policy we encountered this week. I don 't know if this particular staff member was having a bad day or if this is genuinely a new thing but it was very poor. We came for a family meal due to celebrating a grandchild birthday so were ordering a lot of food for everyone. We got confused and forgot to stipulate what drink we wanted for a couple of the meals. We realised just after we had paid and asked for the drinks before we had left the bar, just to be told No. You should have asked for them and now it 's too late These meals come with a drink so should not involve anything other than pouring the missing drinks surely? In the past we have always been asked what drink we would like when ordering a meal with a drink so this just seemed utterly ridiculous. The woman was borderline rude and just shrugged when we questioned this saying it was our fault and now it 's too late. I have still given this a 4 star review as we have always had good service before from most members of staff (including the one in question), the food is generally consistent and we usually enjoy ourselves when we come but this new policy (if it is indeed a policy) is terrible customer service. A polite reminder is all that is needed if people forget to stipulate a drink surely?"

"We made a reservation for a table on Wednesday for the upcoming Saturday, but when we arrived it was clear that our booking had not been recorded by the staff. Despite this, they told us to sit down and said they would deal with it later. The staff hovered around our table without offering to take drink orders, so we had to request them ourselves. We were then rushed to place a food order suddenly. Throughout our meal, the staff stared at us and loomed over us, which made the experience very uncomfortable. Towards the end of our meal, while one of us was still eating, they began clearing our plates. We were handed the bill without being asked if we wanted hot drinks or desserts, and when we sent it back, we were confronted by a rude staff member who informed us that another party had been waiting in the pub next door for an hour. He stated that it was their busiest time of year and that we had overstayed our welcome. We had arrived at 7 pm and it was now 9 pm; never before had we been rushed out of a restaurant in such a manner. We had not been informed when booking or upon arrival that our table was only available for a limited time. When we asked to take some of our leftover dishes home, they were thrown together in one container. The issue with Yash lies in their service, which has been problematic for some time but never to this extent. The food was good but the service was terrible. Considering we had paid nearly £200, it was absolutely disgraceful."
