Reviews in Leeds City Centre

Went for birthday a few weeks ago and couldn't recommend it more. Fantastic food, great atmosphere and equally pleasant staff. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Bought this deal from Groupon and had not had any previous bad experience, but beware this was a con. Firtley nice outside but inside rather like a where you go when drunk at 2am set up. Bad customer service, telling us he hates Groupon vouchers, he makes no money form them, making us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Then went on to do it to the next table maybe to push drink sales?. Service was very self obsessed saying his food the best curry anywhere, so great expectations for the food. To recieve warm table water, tough chewy lamb, chicken was bits ie not breast), the rice was dried out and the curry taste itself salty. Then on paying the voucher was a £25 food voucher, we had service charge, popadoms and pickles were charged to us they stated this is not food when asked and they did to the other groupon voucher holder.

My work colleagues and I often have national Telecom company meetings in Leeds and we always go to Viva restaurant as the welcome, the food and the service is excellent and after more than 7 visits in past 2 years we have never had any complaints. Great family restaurant and fantastic food and ambiance.

Great selection of wines so anticipate a long evening of wine selection

i was impressed from start to finish great food excellent service

I have visited Little Tokyo so many times I lost count. The first time I randomly called in whilst stressing about exams and even had a book out whilst waiting for the food. I wanted to try the jellyfish but didn't want to order a full sushi meal so they were good enough to add it to the sushi starter (the raw duo), which was good of them. The Bento Boxes are great value, and surprisingly filling, they are also ideal for the folks not willing to give the fish a try. This restaurant also introduced me to a great little drinking game involving lager, chop sticks and saki, I'll leave it to you to figure that out :). Anyway I love it, everyone I've taken loves it and I'll be there again this week. Just two negatives - I now have a young daughter and they always seem to stick us in the waiting area to eat - it may be just bad luck but I suspect they don't wish to ruin the ambience for the other diners with kids around. The other negative - my wife said the other day that she thinks it isn't as great as it used to be - I hope this isn't the case. And finally - There used to be a little meditation/Zen room at the back, I never used it but a nice touch anyway.

Came here to try out the new spring menu and was very impressed. Service was fast and attentive; the mushroom ceviche and Churrasco Fiasco with rump steak were delicious, as was the dessert. Always a pleasure.

This place is so amazing, my husband and I are real carnivores so this style of restaurant is right up our street. The staff were so friendly and didn't mind that our baby was a bit noisy and messy. Really family friendly and the best meat ever! I highly recommend Fazenda

We had a meal on Sunday evening there for the first time. And it was a good experience. The restaurant look better than the food (the french menu, but adjusted for English), but still was OK. The good thing is you can have a set menu that is available all the time not like at most restaurants for specific course. Will go again in summer time.

I've been going to Little Tokyo for nearly ten years, but I think it has gone really downhill in recent years, in terms of both the quality of the food, hygiene, and the service. Seeing a rat-trap outside the kitchen is not a good sign, and while they make a big deal of their vegan and vegetarian options, after being served meat (something that has also happened to vegetarian friends of mine) I really don't trust them. My last visit to Little Tokyo (and I do mean 'last visit')was with a friend, who like myself is not only vegan, but a long standing Little Tokyo customer. The restaurant was very quiet, and in fact we were the only diners seated downstairs when our order was taken. My friend ordered a bento box set with tofu steak and I ordered a vegetarian ramen dish. While ordering asked the waiter if the noodle dish came with tofu and he said that it did. I also said that I was vegan. When the dish came the waiter said that he hoped there was enough tofu in it for me. In fact it had meat in it, and because it was dark in the restaurant I put some in my mouth. For someone who is a strict vegan of many years this was a disgusting experience and I had to go to the toilet to be sick. I wasn't even offered a glass of water, and when I asked to speak to the manager I was told there was no manager there. I then had to pay for this awful experience. A written complaint did not even receive an acknowledgement. I would never set foot in Little Tokyo again.

Great food

On a visit to Leeds for the weekend we were recommended to try Hansa's. What can I say-we were not disappointed!!! The food choice was amazing and the taste was just Mmmmmmm - lovely!! It was an experience not to be missed. If I go to Leeds again then I will deffo go back. Hansa and her Husband are lovely people and make you feel very welcome. Well done and well done to the two lovely ladies who were waitressing also.

Fantastic food, highly recommended for any meat lovers. Top restaurant.

Little Tokyo is a bit of an institution in Leeds - tucked away behind House of Fraser, and not particularly attractive from the outside, however step inside and you will be amazed - the food is excellent - ranging from sushi to Bento boxes (which are particularly good fun) - the staff are always great and if you go on a Saturday night lay on entertainment as well. We go regularly and have taken work colleagues, in laws and friends and everyone has always raved about it afterwards.highly recommend !

I've brought a few friends over the year I have known Hansa's and every time it gets a great review no matter who I bring (even those who mention the lack of meat). The food is mouthwateringly superb and the service is always homely and friendly. I recommend Hansa's to everyone.

I came to Leeds with a group of my girlfriends for a weekend packed full of shopping, drinking and eating so after visiting countless shops and trying on what seemed like a million items of clothing, we headed over to San Carlo for a bite to eat. It was lovely from the minute we walked in. The waiter we had was very friendly and seated us after five minutes, which was fine as we hadn’t booked in advance. He took us to a lovely corner where we could catch up and gossip. After we had ordered our mains, which took quite some time as there were so many choices, one of our friends revealed that she had something to tell us. The table quietened as we were waited in anticipation with what she would say. She then broke the silence telling us she was expecting! Amazing news! Of course we ordered celebratory drinks straight away (except the mother to be obviously) and drank up! After hearing the shrieks and cries, the waiter guessed something had happened and after we had told him, brought a complimentary bottle of champagne over to us. It just got better and better! By the time our mains arrived, we were all fairly tipsy but that didn’t change the fact that it tasted wonderful! It was presented superbly, like a work of art! We left San Carlo feeling full, tipsy and ecstatic with our friend’s news, quite a few feelings to have at one time! Thank you so much to all at San Carlo, we will be back before the baby comes!

The restaurant is really nice, small and cosy, with a very friendly staff. And when it comes to food...it's just great, probably the best Italian food you will find in Leeds! The pizzas are just like the ones that you can find in Italy and the desserts are also really really good. Above all that, I must say that the prices are fair and it's a good value and great quality.

Went in a party of five and was very impressed. Steaks were cooked perfectly, dauphinoise potatoes were delicious and tempura prawns were light and tasty. Will definitely be back.
