Mediocre food, rude management

I went for lunch at this place with a friend. It was my 2nd time. The first time I went the food was great, but the waitress unfortunately didn't understand some words which I thought would be important as a waitress, namely wine (which was on the menu) and take away. Not blaming her, I'm blaming the management for poor training/identifying weakness in language skills.
This time around, the food was mediocre at best and some extras that we had ordered - coriander & garlic, didn't arrive. We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time so it wasn't as if they had the excuse of being busy.
I will add that the Manager has been extremely rude to me because I had the audacity to mention problems with training/language during my first visit, calling me racist! Well he won't need to worry about that, I will never be tempted to go back ever again after my last visit.
For info, you can make your own Hot Pot by buying a Hot Pot soup base from any Chinese supermarket and do it yourself, really easily.

Pros: The food was good the first time I went, clean, vegan friendly

Cons: rude manager, mediocre food the 2nd time around , lack of training, not bringing extras paid for

This person Deb Lloyd is spam reviewing different sites as punishment for calling out her bigotry. She only came once, I told her not to come back. Instead of me copy pasting my full reply in these comments. If you're interested you can read it on Tripadvisor.

She's reinstated her facebook review. Here's some snippets from her latest reply.

"By the way I have 2 friends from Hong Kong (yes both Chinese origin, yet more proof that I am very far from racist,"

"I will make sure I leave bad reviews everywhere I possibly can and telling all my friends & family not to come too"

"Please don't bother replying with yet more insults, I will be reporting you."

As a note, I never insulted her.

Unique experience but expensive

The restaurant clearly labels vegan options
1. Hotpot Broth with 4 broth options and a variety of vegetables and tofu to choose from, 7 noodle options
2. Steam bar
3. Noodle dish
4. Sides plates
5. Variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks
6. 3 dessert options

We had the hotpot broth with spicy and tomato broth, set tray that cost us £42 it was so filling for just the two of us. Might be better to share with 2 other people due to the cost. Its a very unique experience with induction cookers on your table and brought raw ingredients to cook yourself. The broth is enough for 4 people and they refill it at no extra cost. So probably 2 extra noodles if you want to share with 4 people.

The staff was friendly. They gave a goody bag full of non vegan treats which I didn't realise till I was out. So will feedback to them.

I'll come again to try the Steam boa and other items on the menu.

Would have given 3.5 stars but thought to bump them to 4 instead of three as its a very unique food experience .

Pros: Clearly marked vegan items , Unique food experience

Cons: Serves fish, meat, eggs and dairy, Very expensive
